The Kingdom of Robin Hood is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.312 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, the Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22%. A substantial private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, cars are banned, organ donation is compulsory, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Robin Hood's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pence.

Robin Hood is ranked 76,560th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -16 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
