Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Nova Alba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed population of 3.112 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Alba City. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, the world outside is only known of in folklore, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Alba's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Groat.

Nova Alba is ranked 3rd in Nova Alba and 112,951st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -3 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
