The Free Land of The Witch Kingdom is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hekate with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.745 billion Witches live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Broomstick. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.
The all-consuming Witchling economy, worth a remarkable 1,002 trillion litres of blood a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 129,464 litres of blood, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 707,610 per year while the poor average 12,109, a ratio of 58.4 to 1.
Savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks, a flying elephant and Hekate share the same nickname, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, and scientists have great chemistry with their subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Witch Kingdom's national animal is the wyvern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Eleutheria.
The Witch Kingdom is ranked 51,871st in the world and 1,175th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 143.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
