The Republic of Maggelania is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Victoria Nazarova with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.313 billion Maggelanians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bernia. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maggelanian economy, worth 565 trillion Yakusians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,046 Yakusians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maggelania's national animal is the Maggelanian Canine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cathelerism.

Maggelania is ranked 55,161^st in the world and 812^th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 101.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
