The Old Dense and Dark Woodland of Forest of Fangorn is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Treebeard with an even hand, and renowned for its fear of technology, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 14.261 billion Forest of Fangornians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Environment, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Forest of Fangornian economy, worth 324 trillion seeds 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 a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Trout Farming and Pizza Delivery. 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 22,730 seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most common doctor's prescription is "get out of my consulting room", scholars are leaving the country at an alarming rate, bowls of milk left on windowsills please fairies and passing cats alike, and procrastination is a national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Forest of Fangorn's national animal is the huorns, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alderism.

Forest of Fangorn is ranked 8,507th in the world and 12th in Forest for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 8,983.47 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
