The Allied States of Novasoc is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Random Guy 32488 with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.12 billion Novasocians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville des Gens. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Novasocian economy, worth 153 trillion cyanide capsules a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 37,360 cyanide capsules, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novasoc's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Novasoc is ranked 143,676^th in the world and 6,530^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.82 kickbacks per hour.
