The Republic of FoundHeaven is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 191 million FoundHeavenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The FoundHeavenian economy, worth 10.9 trillion Alley Roses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,961 Alley Roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, the Lonely Dancer is a protected species, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime is totally unknown. FoundHeaven's national animal is the Lonely Dancer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FoundHeaven is ranked 175,607^th in the world and 83^rd in Cape of Good Hope for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 54.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
