The Western Badlands of The Wicked Witch is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.009 billion Wicked Witchians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Social Policy, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Wicked Witchian economy, worth 422 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,208 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, elections have been outlawed, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Wicked Witch's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Wicked Witch is ranked 158,351^st in the world and 1^st in The Black Walruses for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,820.26 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
