The Soviet Futurist Republic of Novistrana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Director Bohdan Fyodorov with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.906 billion Novistranans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berezina. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.5%.

The powerhouse Novistranan economy, worth a remarkable 1,038 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 87,248 Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, Novistranans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novistrana's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Novistrana is ranked 81,808^th in the world and 4,679^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 34,400.26 Standard Monetary Units.
