The Kingdom of Magrinia is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 3.507 billion Magrinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crowmountain dugongorum. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Magrinian economy, worth 503 trillion mags a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,465 mags, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's never enough space in space, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magrinia's national animal is the dugongo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Magrinia is ranked 11,203^rd in the world and 291^st in the Rejected Realms for Highest Poor Incomes, with 97,705.4 Standard Monetary Units.
