The Queendom of The Witch Hazel is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Witch Queen with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.502 billion Witch Hazelians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Walnut Tree of Benevento. The average income tax rate is 11.8%.

The strong Witch Hazelian economy, worth 344 trillion Wands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,593 Wands, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, The Witch Queen has just been declared ruler of The Witch Hazel in an international press conference, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named The Witch Hazel's new capital. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Witch Hazel's national animal is the Familiar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Voodoo.

The Witch Hazel is ranked 58,941^st in the world and 6^th in Coven of Witches for Safest, scoring 100.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
