The Generous Roots of Yuletide Yggdrasil is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tannenbaum Kvist with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.711 billion Forest-dwellers 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashen Tree House. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sylvan economy, worth a remarkable 4,580 trillion passports a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 391,154 passports, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuletide Yggdrasil's national animal is the Yule Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christmas Time.

Yuletide Yggdrasil is ranked 12,956th in the world and 17th in Christmas for Most Stationary, with 1,943.08974947732 days.
