The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Albus Dumbledore with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 28.863 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 8,181 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 major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 283,463 spells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and all recreational drugs are legal. 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 157,357^th in the world and 5^th in Hogwarts for Largest Black Market, with 1.02 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
