The Autonomous Region of The Refreshing Spruce Forests is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Angelika Henkel with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.207 billion Frieden-und Freudenlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spruceville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Frieden-und Freudenlandian economy, worth 862 trillion Spruce Pinkponks a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 119,611 Spruce Pinkponks, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Refreshing Spruce Forests's national animal is the Squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Capitalism.

The Refreshing Spruce Forests is ranked 155,199th in the world and 235th in Forest for Most Stationary, with 143.98044951912 days.
