The Supreme Enchantment of Witchcliff is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Head Witch Arkacia with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 38.882 billion Witchcliffians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollowpine. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Witchcliffian economy, worth a remarkable 5,116 trillion spells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,596 spells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, and sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Witchcliff's national animal is the black cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is wicca.
Witchcliff is ranked 7,828th in the world and 8th in Dragon Lair for Most Stationary, with 2,651.629726567 days.
