The Republic of Havonosa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Victor Wright with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 2.155 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quire. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Havonosan economy, worth 109 trillion Mernas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,952 Mernas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lobbying has been outlawed, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 212,942^nd in the world and 8,418^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.13 Obesity Rate.
