The State of Dogwood Forest is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 30.302 billion Dogwood Forestians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Dogwood Forestian economy, worth a remarkable 1,055 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 34,834 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, Dogwood Forest has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Dogwood Forest in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dogwood Forest's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dogwood Forest is ranked 16,496th in the world and 2nd in Sao Tome e Principe for Most Stationary, with 1,735.8717362636 days.
