The Federation of Novrossia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 655 million Novrossians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Amazon. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Novrossian economy, worth 41.9 trillion Maxes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,935 Maxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, Leader can cry on demand, and Novrossia has designated New Amazon as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novrossia's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Novrossia is ranked 202,419^th in the world and 347^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
