The Republic of Havonosa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Dennis Richman with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.948 billion Havonosans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Defense, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quire. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Havonosan economy, worth 223 trillion Mernas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,250 Mernas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists claim no news is good news, tax avoidance is a serious affair, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Havonosa as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Havonosa's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Havonosa is ranked 252,201^st in the world and 12,233^rd in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.01 Obesity Rate.
