The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Iskandar Viridi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.766 billion Havenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haventia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Verdant Havenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,449 trillion Verdethalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 270,186 Verdethalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The arms industry is strictly regulated, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned. 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 1,283^rd in the world and 18^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 157.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
