The Kingdom of Magtonia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 283 million Magtonians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Magtonian economy, worth 23.7 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 83,866 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, and the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Magtonia's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Magtonia is ranked 70,154^th in the world and 993^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,452.95 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
