The Republic of Forestan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning leopard population. The democratic population of 4.208 billion Forestanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Forestanian economy, worth 178 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,505 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, dining out often involves leopards on the plate no matter what you order, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forestan's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Forestan is ranked 129,172^nd in the world and 1^st in Forestan for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 567.81 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
