The Amazing Japanese Black Metal of -Magane- is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.544 billion -Magane-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant -Magane-ian economy, worth 86.8 trillion Souls 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 9,099 Souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, Leader is the self-declared God of all -Magane-, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and -Magane- has designated -Magane- City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Magane-'s national animal is the Human.

-Magane- is ranked 115,827^th in the world and 7^th in Japanese Black Metal Scene for Most Beautiful Environments, with 544.96 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
