The State of Maguire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.735 billion Maguireans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The powerhouse Maguirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,060 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,162 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,527 per year while the poor average 10,945, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Maguire has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Maguire in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maguire's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maguire is ranked 260,061^st in the world and 434^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 46.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
