The Grand Republic of Havenwelle

“Honor and Glory to the Grand Republic!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Grand Republic of Havenwelle is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kevin Burke with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.256 billion Havenwelleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Haven. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Havenwellean economy, worth a remarkable 4,235 trillion Havs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 219,975 Havs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, the well-to-do in the South Pacific are never on time for important appointments, and strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Havenwelle's national animal is the Brittany Spaniel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Havenwelle.

Havenwelle is ranked 283,073^rd in the world and 5,236^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 22.24 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
