The Republic of Forrestbergs is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.931 billion Forrestbergsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 6.7%.
The Forrestbergsian economy, worth 232 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 59,101 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Forrestbergs's national animal is the cobra.
Forrestbergs is ranked 179,071st in the world and 6,943rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
