Forests in space

Gusev Crater

I just had a look at my nations description and it describes my national animal frolicing freely in the lush forests. 1st of, the animal is a penguin and it does not frolic in forests, and second, Gusev Crater is on Mars and the terraforming process has only begun, so there are no forests to frolic in. So I was wondering if it might be possible to make these description either more universal, or editable.

This is a common and commonly-discussed "problem" with the issues. It also doesn't work on polar ice, with undersea creatures, and Martians. It's not going to be changed or editable. Sorry.

Yes it does! It says so right there on your nation page. Your penguins frolic in the lush forests, get used to it!

and second, Gusev Crater is on Mars and the terraforming process has only begun, so there are no forests to frolic in.

Yes there are! You need to be more observant of your own country. There are forests and there are penguins frolicking in them. Everybody can see the forests and the penguins, you don't fool anybody with your claims that "there are no forests or penguins."

There's actually an easy solution to this: start eating your penguins. That's what I did, and they stopped frolicking in the forests. Or anywhere else for that matter. Plus, Penguin kebab tastes great with some garlic sauce.

Oh, and don't forget to degrade your environment, so your nation is "renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape." It seems like this would fit the national description the OP wanted.
