The Magic Queendom of Covenous is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by High Priestess Wendy Whaliams with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 815 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. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Witchy economy, worth 66.6 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 frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,709 mana points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, and High Priestess Wendy Whaliams signs the laws but abides by none of them. 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 203,864^th in the world and 8,400^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 6.4 flags saluted per person per day.
