The Kingdom of The forestlands is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.755 billion forestlandsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong forestlandsian economy, worth 371 trillion francs 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 54,935 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and the nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The forestlands's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The forestlands is ranked 38,376^th in the world and 184^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,383.98 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
