The Free Land of Woodland Greenmen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 6.764 billion Woodland Greenmenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Administration, although Education, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forest. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Woodland Greenmenian economy, worth 658 trillion pans 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. 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 97,302 pans, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Woodland Greenmen's national animal is the centaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nature Paganism.
Woodland Greenmen is ranked 39,771st in the world and 268th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,137.85002177552 days.
