The Most Serene Republic of Featured Forest is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Green Man with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.036 billion Featured Foresters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sequoia. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Featured Forestian economy, worth 423 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,955 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featured Forest's national animal is the Common raccoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Naturism.

Featured Forest is ranked 308,469^th in the world and 9^th in The Great Sound for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
