The Republic of Magnaus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Henry McKimson with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.217 billion Magnausians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnasors. The average income tax rate is 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Magnausian economy, worth 238 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,754 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

There are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and throwing a sickie is a serious crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnaus's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Logicius.

Magnaus is ranked 28,091^st in the world and 12^th in Philosophers for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,240.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
