The Republic of Nova Haynesia is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 90 million Nova Haynesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Nova Haynesian economy, worth 639 billion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 7,105 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Haynesia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Haynesia is ranked 314,371^st in the world and 3,074^th in the Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 10.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
