The Community of SouthHaven is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.943 billion SouthHavenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.2%.

The large but inefficient SouthHavenian economy, worth 292 trillion Rias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 42,121 Rias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SouthHaven's national animal is the Fossa, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

SouthHaven is ranked 236,603rd in the world and 35th in Lassa for Highest Average Incomes, with 42,121.87 Standard Monetary Units.
