The Grand Duchy of Forstuline is a large, socially progressive nation, notable 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 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Forstulinean economy, worth 5.57 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 76,250 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, anti-government web sites are springing up, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. 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 134,093^rd in the world and 469^th in Concord for Most Patriotic, with 11.83 flags saluted per person per day.
