The Very Good Democratic Record of Forest Green is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 721 million Forest Greenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greenton. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Forest Greenian economy, worth 28.0 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,777 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forest Green's national animal is the glow-in-the-dark scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Forest Green is ranked 24,055^th in the world and 326^th in the Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 53.18 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
