The Lasting Forest Expanse of Sycamore Time is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Professor Sycamore with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.025 billion Sycamore Timers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fig-Mulberry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.4%.

The all-consuming Sycamore Timean economy, worth 361 trillion Leaves a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 89,893 Leaves, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Sycamore Time, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Sycamore Time to be bombproof, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sycamore Time's national animal is the Sycamore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Trees.

Sycamore Time is ranked 75,659^th in the world and 4^th in Lexnigton for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,459.13 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
