The Borderlands of Giant Redwoods is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Oberon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.106 billion Giant Redwoodsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized 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 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giant Redwoodsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,094 trillion Jewels of Judgement a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 342,992 Jewels of Judgement, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. 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 205,839^th in the world and 188^th in Refugia for Most Politically Free, scoring 18.57 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
