The People's Republic of Magnolis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Marcella Melody with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 4.476 billion Magnolians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Memphis. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Magnolisian economy, worth 502 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,169 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnolis's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Magnolis is ranked 170,933rd in the world and 3,382nd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 98.10172193708 days.
