The Nomadic Peoples of Magna Ignotus is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 153 million Magnites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Magna Ignotusian economy, worth 1.06 trillion Beads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is 6,927 Beads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Magna Ignotusian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, and parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife. Crime is totally unknown. Magna Ignotus's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Magna Ignotus is ranked 249,052^nd in the world and 235^th in Wintreath for Most Patriotic, with 2.42 flags saluted per person per day.
