The Eternal Eventide of Maeglin is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Maeglin with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.016 billion Maeglinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anghabar. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maeglinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,722 trillion silver pennies 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 114,711 silver pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maeglin's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a major religion.

Maeglin is ranked 50,736^th in the world and 10^th in Middle Earth for Highest Average Incomes, with 114,711.12 Standard Monetary Units.
