The Einherjar of Magnus Chase is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.176 billion Magnus Chaseans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Magnus Chasean economy, worth 149 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 68,819 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", and protests are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnus Chase's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Magnus Chase is ranked 118,890^th in the world and 2,346^th in Suspicious for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,660.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
