Magistratia

'Magistratia' is a growing nation in the Union of Wise States, which it founded. The president is Chris Weimer, a dictator who aims at bettering the land. Although they don't enjoy many political freedoms, such as voting, the government claims this is because they don't want a mob rule to oppress anyone. The absolute rule of the government allows for many civil rights to be enjoyed by the people, and rarely oppresses anyone from enjoying those rights. The economic system is built on non-monetary trade and all capitalist ideals have been outlawed.

Magistratia in the UN

Having only been recently accepted into the UN, Magistratia has only been able to vote on a single issue: they voted against the Nuclear Armaments Resolution proposed by Flibbleites. Thomas Harding, the ambassador to the UN, was quoted as saying, "If ever we are to achieve global peace, this resolution will not be a stepping stone. We feel as that diplomacy will be better for all nations, and a far wiser choice than this resolution which calls for war."

NationStates Summary of Magistratia

The Community of Magistratia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 6 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration.

Elections have been outlawed and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Magistratia's national animal is the thinking man, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the non-monetary trade.

Magistratia is ranked 1st in the region and 87,736th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.
