The Emerald Forest of Eryndlynd is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Archdruid Eryx with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.527 billion Eryndians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eryndhar. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eryndian economy, worth a remarkable 4,195 trillion eryndollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,363 eryndollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eryndlynd's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is druidry.

Eryndlynd is ranked 290,513^th in the world and 329^th in Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -36.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
