The Keepdom of Summerforest is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by State Keeper Rovena Paelen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.06 billion Summerforesters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Summerhall. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Summerforestian economy, worth 223 trillion silverleaves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,178 silverleaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Summerforest has found 1 easter egg), legend has it State Keeper Rovena Paelen's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime is totally unknown. Summerforest's national animal is the red deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dendrolatry.

Summerforest is ranked 163,299^th in the world and 136^th in Forest for Rudest Citizens, with 48.98 insults per minute.
