The Most Serene Republic of Featured Forest is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Green Man with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.141 billion Featured Foresters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sequoia. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Featured Forestian economy, worth 441 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,579 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and mosh pits are a common phenomenon in The Green Man's political rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featured Forest's national animal is the Common raccoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Naturism.

Featured Forest is ranked 8,479^th in the world and 4^th in New Orleans for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 91.47 Effective Tax Rate.
