Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Romanoffian Dynasty of Novare Res is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Czar Roman I with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.352 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, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Petersburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78%. 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.

Cheese-ism has been named as Novare Res's national religion, gun ownership is compulsory, wealthy students ride to school past mendicant dropouts, and the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novare Res's national animal is the Double Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Cheese-ism, and its currency is the Ruble.

Novare Res is ranked 1,798th in The North Pacific and 45,249th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
