The Fractured Heart of Magnolia Shores is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High Overseer Yuna Drakonbow with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.169 billion Aherians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yunaston. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aherian economy, worth 165 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,876 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The news is showing footage of High Overseer Yuna Drakonbow bullying an old man to the point of tears, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, almost all products in Magnolia Shores are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime is totally unknown. Magnolia Shores's national animal is the Pink-Crested Heron, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Magnolia Shores is ranked 91,570th in the world and 48th in Eladria for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,655.83 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
