The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.136 billion Havenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haventia. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant Havenian economy, worth 816 trillion Verdethalers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,023 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, Iskandar Viridi always arrives fashionably late and smelling of mushrooms, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Verdant Haven's national animal is the Thylacine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verdant Haven is ranked 8,303^rd in the world and 75^th in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,751.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
