Nation/Forestavia

The Federal Empire of Forestavia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Councillor Alexis Sharp with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.238 billion Forestavians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Environment, although Healthcare, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Defense and Industry are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prosperity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The strong Forestavian economy, worth 434 trillion Forestavian Silver Baps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,750 Forestavian Silver Baps, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

New urban roads are threatening city parks, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, and loans are available for students from poor families. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Forestavia's national animal is the winged snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Not Applicable.

Forestavia is ranked 12,146th in the world and 8th in The Mystical Council for Nudest, with 217 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
