Yes but it's not magic from mythology it's folk magic from ancient times. Also Qing Dynasty magic and spells are practiced by local priests.

Magic is illegal for non-government use here. We persecutes witches and our biggest rival is Arendelle 1.

Very common.

It ranges from light use for things like daily chores to magically induced cataclysmic events.

Yes, the arcane field is recognised and important to national infrastructure. Research into magic is essential and obligatory for our unicorn population, in order to compete with other nations.

Magic does not exist, and any reported instances are to be investigated by the [EXPUNGED].

Any claims that the leader is an immortal god, eldritch abomination, ancient wizard, or similar being are entirely false.

Magic is an ancient ability harnessed by the first priests of Chaos well over 3000 years ago. Most magic deals with opening controlled rifts in the Warp, summoning demonic entities from all four domains of the Dark Gods. Other types of magic deal with controlling things such as fire, wildlife, and even the actions of other humans. However, all magic is kept under strict government control via the Fellowship of Chaos Undivided.

While we are a far-future tech nation of robots who have no magical abilities, we have recently accepted a biological race into our ranks that does posses magical aptituide.

As such, we have combined our extremely advanced technologies with magic to create quite a few examples of Magitech, such as the AR-315-B "Catalyst" Assault Rifle and the Sanctum-Class Magitek Support Vessel.

Hilariously, our pure-tech is so advanced that it is considered by many to be indistinguishable from magic as well. So we have, like, double-magic.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" or so it was said by an "old" earth author and "futurist".
What we take for-granted in the traveling of n-verse(s) would be utterly incomprehensible to those of almost all other civilizations. Our children could more than rival the top scientists of most other species, to the point where it may seem like magic. Magic however, it most definitely is not.

/occ There is some dissonance between the question and the poll.

On December 6, 2049, The Order of the Grand Black Star created the “Special Order #666”, as a means of researching and using supernatural phenomena for military purposes. The 666th Special Research Institute, a highly-classified organization tasked with researching on supernatural phenomena, was established on January 3, 2050.

Legal as long as it is not used to harm others. In fact the subject is being researched by our nation paranormal services as a topic of interest.

It does not and has never existed. OOCly, any magic in other nations is not canon. However, some isolated ethnic groups have viewed our relatively outdated technology as so when they are introduced to it.

As long as no one is using it as a way to enforce pain upon others, it is allowed. The government controls a lot of it. Science is practiced. And magic is used for little things like helping with chores and such.

Like our name suggests, yes. Our nation basically runs on it. Magic is a palpable force that runs throughout everything and everyone in Equestria--it's in the earth, the sky, and the heavens. It moves the heavenly objects in their courses, controls the seasons and the weather, causes crops to grow in the earth and gems to grow in the rocks below. All living beings possess some innate magic talent, although it's not always obvious.

Ponies of course are magical, although in different ways:
  • Unicorns are what you'd consider traditional "magic users". They can consciously draw upon their magical strength, and with study and practice, use it to warp reality to their will.
  • Pegasi are more instinctual magic users. They can manipulate the weather and walk on clouds as if they were solid ground. It's not something they study, they just do it.
  • Earth Ponies at first glance don't appear magical, but that's because their talent is subtle. They have mastery over the earth, able to "tame" the land to make barren wilderness or wild jungle gentle and hospitable.

The Imperial Dominion of Longweather was founded through the use of magic to subjugate a technologically advanced society. Throughout the centuries the fields of science and magic slowly combined into the field of magitech/technomagic, something unique amongst the nations that fled the Old World. However, while magitech/technomagic is the basis for Alor technology, plain ole' science and magic are often used when the magitech/technomagic solutions would be inconvenient.

As for street performers, they are a common sight in public areas and will provide you with a magic trick...for a fee. But when it comes to the military, the closest thing to magic is "Lyrea"-a person capable of moving objects using his mind as well as sucking blood out of corpses using his mind. He was "sired" back in the 3rd Qandarian Civil War when he got killed and was treated with the modified zombie virus. So he's basically a zombie.

No real magic, but as an FT nation, some of our tech could seem like magic to more primitive people.

Our nation does not believe in "magic". We think there's a perfectly scientific explanation for any unusual phenomena, including hurling lightning bolts from your hands, if such a thing were to actually be observed.
