The Skybound Republic of Havensky is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lance Atticus with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.539 billion Skyans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel City. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Skyan economy, worth a remarkable 6,278 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,973 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, and Prime Minister Lance Atticus's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime is totally unknown. Havensky's national animal is the Winged Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Church of Moderation.

Havensky is ranked 7,238^th in the world and 10^th in Gholgoth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
