The Forests of Free Twigland is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.548 billion Twigs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Squirrelly Nature Reserve. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Twig economy, worth 297 trillion twigs a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,495 twigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports, and politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Free Twigland's national animal is the Eastern Gray Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Free Twigland is ranked 101,805th in the world and 24th in Libertarian Socialist Confederation for Most Stationary, with 421.73339675712 days.
