The Free Land of FreeGreenTree is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Gambling is outlawed, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FreeGreenTree's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the leaf.

FreeGreenTree is ranked 2nd in the region and 40,729th in the world for Most Beautiful Environments.
