The Super America Blue of Witchcraft and Puppetry is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mister Bojangles with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.407 billion bad bad hats 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desert Bluffs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The large but underdeveloped Witchcraft and Puppetryian economy, worth 436 trillion golden arc tangents a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 28,302 golden arc tangents, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, most foreigners can't name the leader of Witchcraft and Puppetry, art criticism in Witchcraft and Puppetry is scathingly destructive, and the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Witchcraft and Puppetry's national animal is the five-headed zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is better than revenge.

Witchcraft and Puppetry is ranked 291,992nd in the world and 5,523rd in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -34.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
