  People's Republic of Haven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During its first centuries of existence, the Republic of Haven was one of the most prosperous human worlds in the galaxy, and was viewed as a sort of interstellar Athens.
Haven, having entered the war expecting a quick victory, was thrown into chaos, as Manticoran fleets began to advance into their territory.
Haven appears to be analogous to the Soviet Union or to France during the Revolution, but David Weber has stated that it is an allegory for the United States.

 Star Kingdom of Manticore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another example is the declaration of war against the People´s Republic of Haven; the Conservative Association refused to vote for the declaration until Captain Pavel Young, (who was the son of a high-ranking party member) was cleared from a court-martial which was certainly going to sentence him to death for cowardice in the battlefield.

 On Basilisk Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The system has a terminus of the Manticore Wormhole Junction, making Basilisk a coveted target for the People's Republic of Haven, Manticore's rival in a long cold war.
Haven's plan is to stage an uprising on Medusa (Basilisk's inhabited planet) and make the Manticorans flee the system, thus allowing the Havenite Navy to move in and occupy the system.
The People's Republic of Haven finds that its economy is increasingly strained due to its welfare state and massive military budget, thus forcing their leaders to end their standoff with Manticore by any means necessary.

 Honor Harrington -- David Weber
Haven is a failing socialist republic, with something like 90% of the population on the dole because Haven has a school system inadequate to the task of educating them to do anything useful, and an economy inadequate to the task of finding them anything useful to do.
Everyone is afraid of Haven because it has never lost a war, except of course for the people who can't believe that Haven really means to attack anybody they haven't already invaded and conquered.
Grayson's principal enemies, other than Haven, which they don't yet realize is an enemy, are the religious fanatics from their neighboring world, Masada.

Through trenchant readings of representative texts, she uncovers what might be called the "emotional economy" of America in its formative years: the ways in which concern for honor and reputation shaped the perceptions and reactions of key actors and in this way shaped politics itself.
Everyone knows that Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton fought a duel, and that their duel was but one of many fought during this period, with all the elaborate cultural trappings such activities imply.
Using Senator William Maclay's diary, she demonstrates the pervasive concern for form and appearance that obsessed politicians in the Early Republic, an understandable obsession given the absolute centrality of personal reputation for any claim to leadership.

 - Chapter 7
It denied the Republic's citizens their prosperity by hoarding its vast wealth for the selfish ends of its own hereditary ruling class.
After half a T-century of total apathy and disinterest in whoever the Republic was conquering this month, the mob was willing—even eager—to defer demands for a higher BLS in order to finance the destruction of Manticore and all its works.
Their analyses contained too many qualifiers and reservations, no doubt in an effort to cover their own backs, but they were generating an immense amount of raw data, and a handful of new strategists were emerging to use that data.

Republic's characters actually resemble those of the smash-hit life simulator The Sims, in that they speak an expressive (but unintelligible) gibberish language and move and speak with equally expressive gestures and body language.
However, Republic's subject matter is considerably more gritty and stark than Maxis' lighthearted game--we've seen demonstrations of the measures you can take to seize power in Republic, which include applying beatings to noted members of the community or setting up a zealous student to be a martyr and die for your cause.
But we've also seen the game get pushed back a few times and have read about various changes that have been made to it--for instance, at this year's E3, we saw an example of Republic's multipart objective system, in which you'll constantly be tasked with performing different goals in your quest for power.

The Republic of Texas is the only independent nation that allowed itself to be "annexed" into the union of American States without a fight.
We, the sovereign People of the Republic of Texas, cannot - dare not - allow this system of slavery to continue, whether under force of arms (by the de facto state) or by the invading federal army.

 Author David Weber Interviewed.
From the very outset, the Republic of Haven was more an example of the United States of America after a couple of centuries of deficit spending by politicians who had cut an unscrupulous deal with the managers of a massive welfare state in return for permanent, hereditary political power for themselves and their heirs.
The Republic of Haven was once a wonderful place to live, and it self-destructed out of the best of motives and the poorest of public policies.
In fact, that model was never as central to the People's Republic of Haven as many people thought it was.
