The Spell of Yncantata is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Wicked Witch of the West with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 25.537 billion Yncantatans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abracadara. The average income tax rate is 46.1%.

The strong Yncantatan economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 trillion Yncs 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Gambling, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 44,266 Yncs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, the rich are forced to sell their cars to pay for more police to prevent their cars from being stolen, and The Wicked Witch of the West has just been declared ruler of Yncantata in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yncantata's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Witchcraft.

Yncantata is ranked 98,631st in the world and 1st in The United States of TGK for Most Stationary, with 444.07095190552 days.
