The Confederation of Magnaeus is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 23.151 billion Magneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Magnaeusian economy, worth 619 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,756 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, cars are banned from built-up areas, and the government is outsourcing itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnaeus's national animal is the mountain goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Magnaeus is ranked 269,203^rd in the world and 208^th in Eurth for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,807.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
