The Compleated Phyrexian Empire of Alexander the Magnus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Mother of Machines with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.166 billion Phyrexians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Phyrexia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Phyrexian economy, worth a remarkable 3,776 trillion Phyrexian Sovereigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 371,528 Phyrexian Sovereigns, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,371,686 per year while the poor average 23,906, a ratio of 99.2 to 1.

Builders across Alexander the Magnus are blocked up with orders for new public loos, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Alexander the Magnus's national animal is the Compleated Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Compleationism.

Alexander the Magnus is ranked 284,698^th in the world and 133^rd in Institute of Cellulose for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 10.61 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
