The country was founded on 26 December 2020, in the videogame Politics and War, but it was only made into a micronation on 9 April 2022.
Forestia is currently run as a democratic federal republic, in a fashion similar to Brazil.

The law system is run by 3 powers, with senators and deputies serving as responsible for running it.

Etymology
The term "Forestia" comes from the combination of the words Forest and Utopia, thus creating Forestia.
History
Before Forestia
The Central-West region, where Forestia is situated, was originally occupied by the natives of South America. After Portugal colonized the region and created Brazil, it was no longer considered occupied by those natives.
After Brazil declared independence from Portugal and became a republic, Forestia decided to follow suit, albeit not recognized by any countries. The independence was peaceful, and no lives were lost on either Forestia's or Brazil's end
Foundation of Forestia
The Federal Republic of Forestia was originally established on 26 December 2020, as the Communist Republic of Forestia, for the videogame Politics and War. The country was a member of the Rose Alliance, and rose to a high economic status during its time as a member. Because of conflicts between the two parties, Forestia left Rose in 2021, and has been in a dormant state since.
Afterwards, on 9 April 2022, Forestia was once again established as a country, but this time as a micronation instead of a virtual country. The country then proceeded to change its government from communist to capitalist, and establishing itself as a Federal Republic. With its foundation completed, the first diplomatic action taken as a sovereign state was to unilaterally recognize the State of Faltree's independence. During the month of April, Forestia joined three organizations, those being the Global Micronational League (GML), Pacific Association of Micronations (PAM), and United Intermicronational Defence Organization (UIDO). Forestia possesses foreign relations with the Kingdom of Rascoucor, and recognizes the Republic of Arkazja, State of Faltree, Cupertino Alliance members, and UN Member States.
Government
The Federal Government of Forestia operates on a democratic republic system for electing government representatives. Said representatives must complete a term of at least six months, with permission to be reelected an indefinite amount of times. This system was inspired by Brazil, with the President being the head of state and the Vice President being the head of Government.
