The Witch Coven of Assorted Hag 38 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.14 billion Assorted Hag 38ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Assorted Hag 38ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,365 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 233,330 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Assorted Hag 38's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Assorted Hag 38 is ranked 330,206^th in the world and 2,677^th in Eye for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -18.5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
