Malaysia

Malaysia is a country in southeast Asia consisting of Malaysian Borneo (located on the northern portion of, you guessed it, Borneo) and Peninsular Malaysia (which, when highlighted on a map, makes the Malay peninsula appear to be wearing a sock). Though east and west Malaysia are currently separated by the South China Sea, works are underway to connect the two with a really huge series of ziplines. Okay, so I just made that up, but it would be totally badass if it were true. Malaysia is considered to be a megadiverse country (probably not nearly as cool as it sounds) by whoever decides which countries are considered to be whatever that is. A former British colony, Malaysia gained its independence from those limey such-and-suches in 1957 and has since become something of an economic powerhouse in its own right, now possessing a top-notch infrastructure (despite its notorious dearth of ziplines) and even its own space program (Author's Note: Wow Malaysia, that's awesome! Maybe someday you could do something really momentous, like going to the moon or something! Hahaha, just kidding. Seriously though, you guys are adorable).

The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to the Petronas Towers, which used to be the tallest buildings in the world, but now they're not, so nobody cares anymore.
