The Federation of Witcheria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Henry with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.653 billion Witcherians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.
The strong Witcherian economy, worth 213 trillion Gymbods a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 58,523 Gymbods, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 225,987 per year while the poor average 10,409, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.
Tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport, Witcheria has designated Caville as its capital city, Henry has just been declared ruler of Witcheria in an international press conference, and Devotion to Henry has been named as Witcheria's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Witcheria's national animal is the reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Devotion to Henry.
Witcheria is ranked 116,883rd in the world and 69th in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
