The Emerald Forest of Eryndlynd is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Archdruid Eryx with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.79 billion Eryndians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eryndhar. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eryndian economy, worth a remarkable 4,495 trillion eryndollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,235 eryndollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eryndlynd's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is druidry.

Eryndlynd is ranked 102,783^rd in the world and 113^th in Forest for Most Extreme, scoring 23.33 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
