The Borderlands of Giant Redwoods is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Oberon with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.825 billion Giant Redwoodsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber and Chaos. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giant Redwoodsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,205 trillion Jewels of Judgement a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 405,872 Jewels of Judgement, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Giant Redwoodsians, and the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giant Redwoods's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Way of the Shaddows.

Giant Redwoods is ranked 55,819th in the world and 18th in Nordic Lands for Most Stationary, with 789.6586265626 days.
