The Borderlands of Giant Redwoods is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Oberon with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.529 billion Giant Redwoodsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber and Chaos. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giant Redwoodsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,823 trillion Jewels of Judgement a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 331,962 Jewels of Judgement, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, Giant Redwoodsians believe a soft answer turneth away wrath but punitive punishment is much more fun, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giant Redwoods's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is From the Shaddows Into the Light.

Giant Redwoods is ranked 8,919^th in the world and 11^th in Christians for Largest Governments, scoring 36.97 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
