The Rainforest Communities of Errinundera is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 16.028 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal individuals juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of First Creek Falls. Income tax is unheard of. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Errinundera's national animal is the long-footed potoroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bola.

Errinundera is ranked 4th in Forest and 2,614th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 77 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
