The Federal Democratic Republic of Treeford is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Franklin Wade Swanson with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 10.931 billion Treefordians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treefordapolis. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Treefordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,946 trillion Maples a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 178,083 Maples, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and hospitals in Treeford are too busy serving the needs of 10000 Islands to see Treefordians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treeford's national animal is the Wild Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Treeford is ranked 290,277^th in the world and 854^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.24 kickbacks per hour.
