The Skybound Republic of Havensky is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lance Atticus with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.623 billion Skyans 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 is dominated by the Department of Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel City. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Skyan economy, worth a remarkable 6,302 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,166 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime Minister Lance Atticus's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and visiting the best Skyan restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime is totally unknown. Havensky's national animal is the Winged Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Church of Moderation.

Havensky is ranked 289,548^th in the world and 26^th in Gholgoth for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -27.71 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
