The Grand Duchy of Forstuline is a large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions and flagrant waste-dumping. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 86 million Forstuliners enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 16.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Forstulinean economy, worth 6.70 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,870 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, going on a diet invalidates your passport, and the Forstulinean Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forstuline's national animal is the Scarlet Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Forstuline is ranked 44,086^th in the world and 148^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 104.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
