The Magical Realm of Magirela is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Meg Mell with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.421 billion Magicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magic Mushroom. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Magirelan economy, worth a remarkable 1,480 trillion Magics a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 230,596 Magics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Magirela's radio stations, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magirela's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Magirela is ranked 1,872^nd in the world and 1^st in Meguca for Safest, scoring 145.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
