The Free Land of The Witch Kingdom is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Hekate with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.499 billion Witches live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Broomstick. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Witchling economy, worth a remarkable 2,053 trillion litres of blood a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 164,277 litres of blood, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Max Barry is this year's Miss The Witch Kingdom, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Witch Kingdom's national animal is the wyvern, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eleutheria.

The Witch Kingdom is ranked 48,527^th in the world and 35^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Populations, with 12.5 billion capita.
