The Technocratic Vanguard of Nouvelle-Floride is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and national health service. The hard-nosed population of 2.338 billion Florideans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Barthélemy. The average income tax rate is 20.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nouvelle-Floridean economy, worth 476 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 204,006 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and torture is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nouvelle-Floride's national animal is the Flamingo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Nouvelle-Floride is ranked 130,687^th in the world and 2^nd in Florida Man Puppet Fiefdom for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 449.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
