The Devil In Me of Switchcraft and Endorsery is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by WS with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.763 billion Switchcraft and Endorseryians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artificial Solar System. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Switchcraft and Endorseryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,263 trillion endorsements a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,358 endorsements, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Switchcraft and Endorsery's national animal is the switcher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Braindead Movendorsing.

Switchcraft and Endorsery is ranked 267,723rd in the world and 400th in Stereo Hearts for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 39.33 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
