The Autumnal Paradise of Deciduous Forests is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.459 billion Deciduous Forestsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Environment, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Glade. The average income tax rate is 54.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Deciduous Forestsian economy, worth 783 trillion lire a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,568 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The statue in the Colbert Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, the state believes that nature-oriented summer camps will somehow solve youth crime, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, and the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Deciduous Forests's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Deciduous Forests is ranked 8,397^th in the world and 26^th in Forest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 170.83 kickbacks per hour.
