The Rippling Green Needle-Sea of Coniferous Forests is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Connie Ferous with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.508 billion Forestians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Environment, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Education and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treehouse. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Coniferous Forestsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,152 trillion Needles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,178 Needles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,342 per year while the poor average 25,861, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.
They unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, and nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Coniferous Forests's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Druidism.
Coniferous Forests is ranked 344,755th in the world and 307th in Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 0.36 quips per hour.
