The Endless Forest of Sedelh is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 38.242 billion Sedelhians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treetop. The income tax rate is 100%.

The large but stagnant Sedelhian economy, worth 965 trillion grapefruit juices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 25,256 grapefruit juices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Sedelh will pay them to stop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedelh's national animal is the ancient forest spirit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalist.

Sedelh is ranked 175,093rd in the world and 8th in The Featured Region Followers for Most Stationary, with 89.40666500192 days.
