The United Socialist States of Haveastana is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Supreme Worker's Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.645 billion Haveastaneans 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerana. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Haveastaean economy, worth 480 trillion Havenos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,788 Havenos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is totally unknown. Haveastana's national animal is the scarlet macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Haveastana is ranked 29,783^rd in the world and 491^st in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
