The Matriarchy of Zatanna is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.501 billion Magicians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The strong Magical economy, worth 146 trillion trick coins a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 41,924 trick coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,206 per year while the poor average 2,628, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zatanna's national animal is the bunny, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zatanna is ranked 269,034th in the world and 3,800th in Ambition for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 376.48 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
