The New Cruor Federation of Novanorus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 30.755 billion Novans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eckart. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Novan economy, worth a remarkable 1,828 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,451 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Novan, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novanorus's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

Novanorus is ranked 81,183^rd in the world and 556^th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 118.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
