The Undead Empire of Margala is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Night Empress Yamini Sundari with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate population of 5.625 billion Margalais have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yamaranyapura. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Margalan economy, worth 793 trillion Blood coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,060 Blood coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, skateparks can be found in every city, visiting the best Margalan restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and artists count down the years until Night Empress Yamini Sundari is allowed to listen to their music. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Margala's national animal is the Bone Sarpa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Faith of Yamin.

Margala is ranked 99,840^th in the world and 65^th in Hell for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,946.24 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
