User:The Silvan Woods

The Free Land of The Silvan Woods is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Tree population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 18 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Religion & Spirituality are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 43%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports industries.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the Tree is a protected species, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Silvan Woods's national animal is the Tree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pund.
