The Republic of Upper Magica is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Unknown with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 3.078 billion Magicans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquis. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Magican economy, worth 496 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,318 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", unemployed youngsters trained to kill are being released en masse into society, Upper Magica isn't what it used to be, and popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the Aquis River. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Magica's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Magican Catharism.

Upper Magica is ranked 287,444^th in the world and 9^th in Lyceni for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
