The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.7 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haventia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant Havenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,427 trillion Verdethalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,850 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, all the playground's a stage for Verdant Havenian schoolchildren, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Verdant Haven's national animal is the Thylacine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
