The State of Magilan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Speaker with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 38.257 billion Magilani are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magilan City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Magilani economy, worth an astonishing 12,418 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 324,616 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Magilan City is a police state during international summits, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, international trade is a sticky issue, and colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Magilan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Magilanism.

Magilan is ranked 2,648^th in the world and 145^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,519.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
