The Borderlands of Giant Redwoods is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Oberon with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.056 billion Giant Redwoodsians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber and Chaos. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giant Redwoodsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,376 trillion Jewels of Judgement a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 411,814 Jewels of Judgement, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, and extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Giant Redwoods is often a lifetime appointment. 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 The Way of the Shaddows.

Giant Redwoods is ranked 284,172^nd in the world and 420^th in Nordic Lands for Safest, scoring 3.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
