The Endless Forest of Sedelh is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 38.446 billion Sedelhians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treetop. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but stagnant Sedelhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,376 trillion grapefruit juices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 35,813 grapefruit juices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedelh's national animal is the ancient forest spirit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalist.

Sedelh is ranked 1,591^st in the world and 1^st in The Featured Region Followers for Highest Food Quality, scoring 303.89 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
