The Republic of Novus Libertia is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.328 billion Novus Libertians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Novus Libertian economy, worth 764 trillion libs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,000 libs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, 'I'm Coming Out' has shot to the top of the nation's music charts, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novus Libertia's national animal is the Libertian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Novus Libertia is ranked 105,570^th in the world and 13^th in Libertium for Safest, scoring 80.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
