The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Albus Dumbledore with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.597 billion Witchcraft and Wizardryians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogwarts. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Witchcraft and Wizardryian economy, worth a remarkable 6,267 trillion spells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 265,591 spells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Witchcraft and Wizardry's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Witchcraft and Wizardry is ranked 1,957th in the world and 1st in Hogwarts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 145.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
