The Yakiniku Witch of Maaru Witch is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Maaru with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.647 billion Maaru Witchians 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, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A Magical Academy. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The thriving Maaru Witchian economy, worth 380 trillion manas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 81,797 manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maaru Witch's national animal is the magical cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Magic.

Maaru Witch is ranked 231,026th in the world and 1,624th in Remembrance for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
