The Republic of Magnetomotive is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.197 billion Magnetomotiveans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Magnetomotivean economy, worth 215 trillion xjzfs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,103 xjzfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Oddly simian-looking religious thugs beat up anyone who suggests humans are related to monkeys, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Leader to progressive thinkers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnetomotive's national animal is the xjzf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Magnetomotive is ranked 169,816^th in the world and 2,469^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 2.20 billion capita.
