The State of Magde is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 6.109 billion Magdeans 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 Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Magdean economy, worth 233 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,227 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, Magde has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all. Crime is relatively low. Magde's national animal is the deer.

Magde is ranked 198,570^th in the world and 1^st in Saxony Anhalt for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
