The Quiet Relaxation of A Forest Clearing is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.5 billion Fauns are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conval. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Faunan economy, worth 240 trillion Petals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,789 Petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Forest Clearing's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
A Forest Clearing is ranked 31,342nd in the world and 4th in Fukuoka for Most Authoritarian, with 2,405.71 milliStalins.
