The United Republic of Havenburghe is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.194 billion Havenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greenewhich. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Havenian economy, worth 774 trillion Stevars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,606 Stevars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Havenian selfishness, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Havenians like vultures, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Havenburghe's national animal is the Barn Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Havenburghe is ranked 160,653^rd in the world and 37^th in RGBN for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,266.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
