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

The Magane under different name of Mortes Saltantes is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.448 billion Mortes Saltantesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Mortes Saltantesian economy, worth 85.9 trillion Souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,091 Souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mortes Saltantes's national animal is the Izanami.

Mortes Saltantes is ranked 262,712^th in the world and 13^th in Hells Headbangers for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
