The Democratic States of Magacia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 384 million Witches are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Magacian economy, worth 12.8 trillion Pentacles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,341 Pentacles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and tourists call Magacian beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magacia's national animal is the Royal Green Secretary Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Magacia is ranked 88,188^th in the world and 1,922^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
