The Most Serene Republic of Redwood is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 18.272 billion Redwoodians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Redwoodian economy, worth 357 trillion Leaves a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 19,550 Leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redwood's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Redwood is ranked 65,791st in the world and 692nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 735.84309156012 days.
