The Endless Walpurgisnacht of The Shattered Fragment is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning sin eater population. The quiet, industrious population of 3.676 billion witches have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The shattered economy, worth 143 trillion fragments of reality a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,980 fragments of reality, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Shattered Fragment's national animal is the sin eater, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Shattered Fragment is ranked 141,548^th in the world and 8^th in Azur Rozen Europa for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 460.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
