The Most Serene Republic of Featured Forest is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 412 million Featured Foresters love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sequoia. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Featured Forestian economy, worth 13.8 trillion marks 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. Average income is 33,565 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The entire entry for Featured Forest in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', edutainment video games are taking Featured Forest's students to the next level, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, and intelligence agencies frequently invite passers-by into their secret vaults for tea and biscuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featured Forest's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Featured Forest is ranked 106,961^st in the world and 7^th in Republic of Chile for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,748.28 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
