The Consulate of Nova is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by HE Knight Notingsea with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.274 billion Novans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novacivitas. The average income tax rate is 8.4%.

The strong Novan economy, worth 313 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,318 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, the love has gone in Nova, and the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Nova's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dea.

Nova is ranked 184,829^th in the world and 8,094^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
