The Magocracy of Finsternia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lord Iriel Apollyon with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.38 billion Finsternians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Finsternian economy, worth a remarkable 4,800 trillion Auruses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 235,531 Auruses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, the media seems excessively interested in what Lord Iriel Apollyon is wearing this season, religion makes people horny, and Lord Iriel Apollyon's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Finsternia's national animal is the Nebula Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pantheon of the Primordial Eight.

Finsternia is ranked 309,367th in the world and 12,684th in Balder for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 0.53 missed references per hour.
