The Pizza Loving Lucky Colony of Forest beetles is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ringa Beetles with a fair hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, soft-spoken computers, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.515 billion Beetles 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 Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Foristian economy, worth a remarkable 1,963 trillion Golden Yggdrasil Leaves 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 Pizza Delivery. Average income is an amazing 261,322 Golden Yggdrasil Leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Foristian lands, and the well-to-do in World of Beetles are never on time for important appointments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forest beetles's national animal is the Leprechaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Athyism.
Forest beetles is ranked 846th in the world and 36th in World of Beetles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 176.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
