The Republic of Havonosa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dennis Richman with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.168 billion Havonosans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Defense, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quire. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Havonosan economy, worth 529 trillion Mernas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,076 Mernas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists claim no news is good news, tax avoidance is a serious affair, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Havonosa as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Havonosa's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Havonosa is ranked 326,440^th in the world and 5,472^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.73 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
