The Federal Republic of Havesia is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Marco Cipriano with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 906 million Havesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calides. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Havesian economy, worth 107 trillion Plutuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,352 Plutuses, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The well-to-do in 10000 Islands are never on time for important appointments, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, notable individuals are granted land and titles, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime is totally unknown. Havesia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Havesia is ranked 104,938^th in the world and 695^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Drug Use, scoring 71 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
