The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.829 billion Havenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haventia. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant Havenian economy, worth 837 trillion Verdethalers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,645 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, in a fit of passion Iskandar Viridi has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. 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.

Verdant Haven is ranked 2,173^rd in the world and 40^th in Forest for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 19,105.43 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
