The Imperial Republic of Magna-Scientia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Reikshel Arformata with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.353 billion Magna-Scientians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reh'lan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Magna-Scientian economy, worth 968 trillion Imperial Augmentis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,962 Imperial Augmentis, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', there is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, recorded music can be rented but not bought from record companies, and government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magna-Scientia's national animal is the Greater Scientian Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Warat-Lemar.

Magna-Scientia is ranked 12,616^th in the world and 22^nd in Astoria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,779.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
