The Most Serene Republic of Featured Forest is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Green Man with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, conspicuous electricity pylons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.359 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 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Featured Forestian economy, worth 461 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,809 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. 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 98,677^th in the world and 3^rd in Ephrata for Most Politically Free, scoring 67.14 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
