The Republic of Redwood Wood Wood is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 16.418 billion Redwood Wood Woodians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Redwood Wood Woodian economy, worth 617 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Trout Farming. Average income is 37,626 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, and snap elections are called over every minor impasse. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redwood Wood Wood's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Redwood Wood Wood is ranked 58,522^nd in the world and 4^th in A Liberal Haven for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
