The Empire of Upper Magica is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Arthur II de Sacre-Feu with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.135 billion Magicans 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquis. The average income tax rate is 76.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Magican economy, worth a remarkable 1,145 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,501 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Kindhearted Magicans generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, students select colleges based on wi-fi quality, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Magica's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Magican Catharism.

Upper Magica is ranked 309,922nd in the world and 6th in Lyceni for Safest, scoring 10.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
