The Forests of Free Twigland is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.651 billion Twigs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Squirrelly Nature Reserve. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Twig economy, worth 288 trillion twigs a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,343 twigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, and local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food". Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Free Twigland's national animal is the Eastern Gray Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Twigland is ranked 261,831^st in the world and 66^th in Libertarian Socialist Confederation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
