The Republic of Magazine is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 4.775 billion Magazineans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Magazinean economy, worth 349 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 73,282 lire, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Magazine's national animal is the lion.

Magazine is ranked 50,947^th in the world and 2,736^th in Osiris for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,658.45 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
