The Democratic States of Havanalar is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Felipo Norman with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.035 billion Havanalarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Havanalar City. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Havanalarian economy, worth 771 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,145 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, job security isn't great for professional roulette players, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Havanalar's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Havanalar is ranked 72,903^rd in the world and 629^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 131.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
