It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogwarts . Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology.

Knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ravenclaw Towers's national animal is the Raven, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Flash.
