The Generous Roots of Yuletide Yggdrasil is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tannenbaum Kvist with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.808 billion Forest-dwellers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashen Tree House. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sylvan economy, worth a remarkable 4,619 trillion passports a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 391,214 passports, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, Tannenbaum Kvist always arrives fashionably late and smelling of mushrooms, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, and the election for Tannenbaum Kvist's office's janitor is heating up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuletide Yggdrasil's national animal is the Yule Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christmas Time.

Yuletide Yggdrasil is ranked 311th in the world and 1st in Christmas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 221.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
