The Empire of Magnus Phoenicia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Glenton Gryphon-Bush II with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.925 billion Magnus Phoenicians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melbourne-Haven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Magnus Phoenician economy, worth 400 trillion Ba'als a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,267 Ba'als, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnus Phoenicia's national animal is the Zebra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is True Path Faith.

Magnus Phoenicia is ranked 51,732^nd in the world and 11^th in The Pangaean Union for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,213.98 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
