The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.425 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haventia. The income tax rate is 100.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant Havenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,714 trillion Verdethalers a year, is highly 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 237,615 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. 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 1,251st in the world and 20th in Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 226.26 quips per hour.
