Spiced toast, and other stories

I would like to briefly explain, where everyone can see, my thoughts about Magnificence. Back in the old MG days, we had the land of Twin Skies to roleplay in and make up stories about. It was a good ol' default world for our characters to run around in. But now, we don't have that anymore. So Magnificence is our default world and I would like you to know that yes, the world IS, in fact, our sandbox. So go ahead, create wild stuff, name some countries, name some towns, think up a dysfunctional government or two, maybe a good old incestuous royal family (always makes for fun assassin work), and so on. Such information will be compiled into an easy to reference thread (hopefully), and I sincerely hope that it will help us have a good place to start when thinking up new roleplay ideas.
