The United Provinces of Magallania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Javier Milei with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.306 billion Magallanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Promisión TM. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.7%.

The all-consuming Magallanian economy, worth 320 trillion Magallanian Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 96,941 Magallanian Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Gift baskets often contain working nukes, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Magallania's national animal is the Andean Condor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Magallania is ranked 21,746^th in the world and 580^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 90 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
