The Socialist Union of The Magallanic Peoples is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Giant Kotaix with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.678 billion Magellanics 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Punta Arenas. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Magellanic economy, worth 502 trillion Peso Fueguinoes 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, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 187,512 Peso Fueguinoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, and The Magallanic Peoples's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Magallanic Peoples's national animal is the Guanaco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Magallanic Peoples is ranked 323,479^th in the world and 73^rd in The Internationale for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.42 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
