The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.239 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 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant Havenian economy, worth 840 trillion Verdethalers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,733 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty, conspiracy theorists allege Haventia's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. 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 6,223^rd in the world and 44^th in Forest for Rudest Citizens, with 133.91 Insults Per Minute.
