The Democratic Republic of Noovistian is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.727 billion Noovistianians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capital. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Noovistianian economy, worth 307 trillion STUPID Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Tourism. Average income is 82,534 STUPID Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noovistian's national animal is the weasel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Noovistian is ranked 270,686th in the world and 4th in STUPID for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.62 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
