Magia Regnum, officially the High Magical Girl Realm of Magia Regnum, is an oceanic nation located in the middle of the Meager Ocean on the Dacia continent. Together with Lurynia at it's northern border and Regeliana at it's southern border it forms the "magical girl triad" on Sparkalia commonly referred to by Magians as the Magical Girl Realm. However, despite this Magia Regnum is at odds with it's neighbors over ideological differences. Never the less, relations remain cordial.
Etymology
The name for Magia Regnum in Magian is written using the kanji 魔法の領域 which is pronounced Mahō no Ryōiki - often shortned to Mahō Ryōiki. The 魔法 means Magic and 領域 realm or domain which has lead to the common epithet of "Realm of Magic." The common name "Magia Regnum" originated from the pronunciation of Lurynians and was introduced to common languages through early trade.
History
Geography
Government and Politics
The government of Magia Regnum is called the Kami no Kotoba (Magia:髪 の 言葉, Lit. Word of Heaven) commonly just referred to as the Kotoba. It is composed of three distinct branches. The Gaidansu (Magia:指導; lit. Guidance) which is the executive branch that manages the operations of Magia Regnum and oversees the worship of the Ōrumaiti. The Gaidansu is lead by the Haimajika which is the most senior position in Magia Regnum. The Haimajika is the only individual who is able to speak with the Ōrumaiti on a regular basis and is invested with significant religious influence and domestic policymaking. The Haimajika also represents the Ōrumaiti to its own people, and represents the nation to the rest of Sparkalia. The Haimajika also fulfills many ceremonial duties mostly dedicated to the Ōrumaiti. The Haimajika is appointed by the Ōrumaiti herself from among the ranks of the Gaidansu. The Haimajika typically serves for life. The current Haimajika is the elder Magical Girl Isami "Seeker Bell" Amari who has served since Pax 23rd, 1509.
The Tate-Shōsū (Magian:縦小数 lit. Denominated Few) is the unicameral legislature of Magia Regnum. It has 250 members appointed for a four-year terms by the Gaidansu with approval from the Seigi Kaikan. The Tate-Shōsū meets at least three times a year and in special occasion when called for by the Haimajika. While typically there is no political parties in Magia Regnum, members of the Tate-Shōsū often form "factions" within. The head of the is referred to as the Prime Shoujo who represents the Tate-Shōsū, signs documents and speaks on its behalf. The Prime Shoujo is usually selected by an internal vote from among the members of the Tate-Shōsū with a ceremonial appointment by the Haimajika. The Haimajika may object to the choice; however this is a rare occurrence. A Prime Shoujo typically serves 6 years and can be re-appointed indefinitely. The current Prime Shoujo is the Magical Girl Horiko "Galaxy Gem" Tomiyo who has served since Hilaria 15th, 1602.
The Seigi Kaikan (Magian:正義 会館; lit. Justice Hall) is the judicial body which oversees Magia Regnum's contract enforcement as well as the protectors of the nation as an interdimensional security force primary tasked with monitoring fighting off Otherspawn which may appear. It fills a unique role as both a judicial organization with it's Inspection Department (Magian:査察部; Sasatsu Bu) and Detention Bureau (Magian:拘留局; Kōryū-kyoku) but also a military role with the Armaments Service (Magian:武装隊 Busō Tai), Threat Countermeasure Department (Magian:脅威対策室 Kyōi Taisaku Shitsu), and Training Corps (Magian:教育隊 Kyōiku Tai). has three levels of courts: courts of first instance, courts of appeals, and the High Magia. The leader of both the Judicial and Military affairs is the Shuyō (Magian:主要; Chief) and is selected from among the Seigi Kaikan by the Haimajika. The Shuyō typically is expected to serve a term of at least 8 years, however there is no hard rule for their tenure due to the nature of the affairs of the Seigi Kaikan. The current Shuyō is Magical Girl Haruka "Honey Yohko" Asato who has served since Audax 4th, 1605.
Administrative Divisions
Magia Regnum is divided into 15 prefectures, each overseen by a workers' council.
Foreign Relations
As a result of its isolation, Magia Regnum seldom maintains relations with those it considers "outside the Magical Girl Realm; that is those that mainly lay outside of Dacia. Even then, Magia Regnum has a generally unfavorable attitude to those and considers most of the magical girl nations to simply be "tolerable." Initially, Magia Regnum had a strict policy of diplomatic ties only with others within the Magical Girl Realm, with a policy of what it considers eventually reunification with it's "former territories" - though what this actually means is often disputed - and a complete integration with Magical girls into a single body. However, Magia Regnum enjoys a warm relationship with Lurynia which is often cosidered it's closest ally.

Demographics
Per the 1611 estimate, Magia Regnum has a population of 949,358, of which 97% are Magian nationals. Magia Regnum is a fairly ethnically and culturally homogeneous society, with the Emishin Magian people forming 86.1% of the country's population with the minority Meiji Magian making up roughly 12% of the population.
Religion
Ōrumaiti no Michi is the official state religion to which about 90% to 95% of the population adhere to; the exception being foreign nationals and Hojo immigrants. Magian faith differs from most contemporary religion as the deity - the Ōrumaiti- which the Magians worship exists physically within Magia Regnum. Magian society is built around her influence and all magical girls within Magia Regnum sign a contract with her to receive their power. The contract obligates the magical girl to protect her and also provide her with a source of life force in exchange for granting them power which they may use to their own devices. As is an embodiment of purity, justice, and beauty drawing upon her grants the user the same thus the creation of the magical girl. Adherence to the absolute will of the Ōrumaiti is a requirement for Magian citizenship.
Languages
The Magian language is the national language of Magia Regnum and the primary language of most people in the country. Magian writing primarily uses kanji, however the common alphabet and common numerals have also been integrated from use in the modern era. However, as of the mid 1500s, Common has taken a major role in Magia Regnum as an international link language. As a result, the prevalence of common in the educational system has increased, with common classes becoming mandatory at all levels of the Magian education system as of 1610.
Besides Magian and Common, Lurynian is also a popular choice for Magians due to the proximity of Magia Regnum with Lurynian Magocracy.
