The Final Stand of The Magical Ring is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Merlin with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The humorless, devout population of 28.766 billion Magical Ringians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mythic town. The average income tax rate is 88.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Magical Ringian economy, worth a remarkable 4,048 trillion Rings a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 140,729 Rings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, corporate innovation has effectively ended since ideas can no longer be owned, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Magical Ring's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a major religion.

The Magical Ring is ranked 29,270^th in the world and 1^st in Forks for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
