The United Forests of American-Cascadia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Aleksy Niezgoda with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and compulsory gun ownership.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. American-Cascadia's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Silvism.
