The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.832 billion Havenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haventia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant economy, worth a remarkable 5,659 trillion Verdethalers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 317,383 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, and the nation's space program is doxxing the planet. 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 1,368^th in the world and 15^th in Forest for Highest Poor Incomes, with 245,274.67 Standard Monetary Units.
