The Great People of Populous Magnus is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Artem Asterio Wolfgang with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.855 billion Great People love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whistledoge. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pomarian economy, worth 578 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,353 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, political detractors refer to Artem Asterio Wolfgang as 'that Bigtopian puppet', education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Populous Magnus's national animal is the monkey-eating eagle and Antarctic wolf, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Populous Magnus is ranked 240,850^th in the world and 9,052^nd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,671.28 Standard Monetary Units.
