The Templar Chapterhouse of Witchcrosse is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Prior Siôn macSidhe with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.841 billion Templars are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Witchcrosse Abbey. The average income tax rate is 39.1%.

The strong Witchcrossean economy, worth 141 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,075 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Grand Prior Siôn macSidhe is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and many aides in Grand Prior Siôn macSidhe's office are known to be serial jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Witchcrosse's national animal is the Faun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Magisterium.

Witchcrosse is ranked 82,945^th in the world and 2,191^st in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,528.2 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
