The Kingdom of The Tree States is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Tree with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 13.023 billion Trees are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bouleau. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tree economy, worth a remarkable 3,166 trillion Tree Bits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. 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 an amazing 243,117 Tree Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and unsolved crimes are often pinned on veterans with PTSD. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Tree States's national animal is the tree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yellowism.

The Tree States is ranked 268,149^th in the world and 3^rd in Xverse for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
