The John Lennon Utopia of Forever Fields is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Bob Dylan with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 27.64 billion Strawberrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imagine City Peacetopia. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The all-consuming Forever Strawberrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,901 trillion Gold Strawberries a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,969 Gold Strawberries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, students cut up leftover Gold Strawberries during Arts and Crafts, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and Forever Fields is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forever Fields's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Hippie Love.
Forever Fields is ranked 288,075th in the world and 45th in Hippy Haven for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
