The Kingdom of Nottinghaven is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King Jalen II with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.763 billion Nottinghavians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nottinghavian economy, worth a remarkable 3,408 trillion Nottings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,493 Nottings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

King Jalen II can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, there is something rotten in the state of Nottinghaven, and the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nottinghaven's national animal is the Notting Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nottinghaven is ranked 11,550^th in the world and 42^nd in Refugia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 399.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
