The Grand Duchy of Wizardonia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Arch-Mage Mario with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.946 billion Wizardonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sorceria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wizardonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,465 trillion Sigils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 381,553 Sigils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School uniforms are compulsory, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Wizardonia's radio stations, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools. Crime is totally unknown. Wizardonia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Wizardonia is ranked 277^th in the world and 9^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7,101.27 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
