The Republic of Forest Events is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 931 million Forest Eventsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.
The strong Forest Eventsian economy, worth 43.3 trillion Rings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 46,551 Rings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 301,773 per year while the poor average 2,871, a ratio of 105 to 1.
A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Forest Events City. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Forest Events's national animal is the Orc, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Forest Events is ranked 152,961st in the world and 109th in Forest for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,438.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
