Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Magrinia is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 7.61 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crowmountain dugongorum. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Magrinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,083 trillion mags a year, is fairly 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 142,404 mags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, and maximum security Magrinian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world. 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 20,245^th in the world and 441^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 256.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
