The Most Serene Republic of Featured Forest is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Green Man with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.257 billion Featured Foresters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sequoia. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Featured Forestian economy, worth 461 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,394 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Featured Forest, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, and shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featured Forest's national animal is the Common raccoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Naturism.

Featured Forest is ranked 6,074th in the world and 1st in Bus Stop for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.85 percentage of bribes refused.
