The Federation of Havenia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ms Havenia with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.489 billion Havenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctuary City. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Havenian economy, worth 988 trillion Havenian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 152,276 Havenian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading. Crime is totally unknown. Havenia's national animal is the Angel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Havenia is ranked 8,650^th in the world and 453^rd in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 101.08 quips per hour.
