The United Socialist States of Nova Arcania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 767 million Nova Arcanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Undermountain. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nova Arcanian economy, worth 77.4 trillion gps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,937 gps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens have never heard foreign radio, Nova Arcanian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Arcania's national animal is the ankheg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Arcania is ranked 163,693^rd in the world and 8,167^th in The North Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.7 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
