The Endless Forest of Sedelh is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 38.403 billion Sedelhians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treetop. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but stagnant Sedelhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,374 trillion grapefruit juices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 35,785 grapefruit juices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The entire entry for Sedelh in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', Leader is considering changing the Sedelhian flag to one with more glitter, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedelh's national animal is the ancient forest spirit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalist.

Sedelh is ranked 25,265^th in the world and 5^th in The Featured Region Followers for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,660.94 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
