The Magical Realm of Magirela is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Meg Mell with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.306 billion Magicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magic Mushroom. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Magirelan economy, worth a remarkable 1,450 trillion Magics a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 230,034 Magics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Magic Mushroom has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, Magirelan diplomacy is by the book, and the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magirela's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Magirela is ranked 2,009^th in the world and 1^st in Meguca for Most Developed, scoring 97.99 on the Human Development Index.
