The Most Serene Republic of Featured Forest is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 548 million Featured Foresters love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sequoia. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Featured Forestian economy, worth 18.2 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 33,199 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of Featured Forest are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, children are regularly married to each other to secure alliances between families, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featured Forest's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Featured Forest is ranked 22,477^th in the world and 2^nd in American Navy for Nicest Citizens, with 21.78 average smiles per day.
