The Yakiniku Witch of Maaru Witch is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Maaru with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.775 billion Maaru Witchians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A Magical Academy. The average income tax rate is 40.7%.

The powerhouse Maaru Witchian economy, worth 807 trillion manas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,637 manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, most of the population has had bad experiences with hoes, newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. 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 298,663^rd in the world and 3,324^th in Remembrance for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
