The Masters of Magic is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.259 billion Magicians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.0%.

The strong Magician economy, worth 466 trillion spells a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 56,426 spells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, Leader has just been declared ruler of Magic in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Magic's national religion, and the weather in Magic City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings'. Crime is almost non-existent. Magic's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Magic is ranked 207,117^th in the world and 2^nd in Magic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
