Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Confederacy of The Black Forrest is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 19.158 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Black Forrest City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

All guns must be registered, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, The Black Forrest's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Black Forrest's national animal is the Mountain Gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.

The Black Forrest is ranked 22nd in Lazarus and 241st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 250 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
