The Weekly Witch of Patchouli-Knowledge is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The humorless, devout population of 11.314 billion Patchouli-Knowledgeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Patchouli-Knowledgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion rtbrtbrtbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,430 rtbrtbrtbs, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Patchouli-Knowledgean as 'your finger, you fool', throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patchouli-Knowledge's national animal is the rtbrtbrtb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Patchouli-Knowledge is ranked 40,028th in the world and 18th in Yuno for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
