The Magic Queendom of Covenous is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 710 million Witches have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Coven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.5%.

The powerhouse Witchy economy, worth 57.7 trillion mana points a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,324 mana points, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Covenous's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Covenous is ranked 42,451^st in the world and 2,416^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
