The Republic of Havonosa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dennis Richman with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.662 billion Havonosans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Defense, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quire. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Havonosan economy, worth 434 trillion Mernas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,177 Mernas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists claim no news is good news, tax avoidance is a serious affair, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Havonosa as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Havonosa's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Havonosa is ranked 126,962^nd in the world and 2,823^rd in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 6.35 kickbacks per hour.
