The Apostolic Preserve of Evergreen Tree Republic is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.709 billion Evergreen Tree Republicians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pine Hall. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Evergreen Tree Republician economy, worth 194 trillion Evergreen Bucks 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 71,767 Evergreen Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Money can't buy you love but you can purchase a reasonable approximation of it, Pine Hall's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, mutual cuisine decides political relations, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evergreen Tree Republic's national animal is the Nesting Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Evergreen Tree Republic is ranked 112,256^th in the world and 4^th in Evergreen for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,967.11 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
