The Grand Duchy of Forstuline is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 73 million Forstuliners enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Forstulinean economy, worth 5.61 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,915 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The blind lead the blind in social welfare, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Forstulinean politicians, and document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forstuline's national animal is the Scarlet Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Forstuline is ranked 133,322^nd in the world and 470^th in Concord for Most Patriotic, with 11.94 flags saluted per person per day.
