The Grand Duchy of Maginka is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 356 million Maginkians 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jorua. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Maginkan economy, worth 30.7 trillion Mana Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 86,360 Mana Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead", and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maginka's national animal is the Two-horned violet llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maginka is ranked 18,895^th in the world and 27^th in Astoria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,220.72 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
