The United Socialist States of Nova Arcania is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Fallstar with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 5.413 billion Nova Arcanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Undermountain. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Arcanian economy, worth 938 trillion gps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,416 gps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Massive new slaughterhouses are being hailed as a sign of progress, it is impossible to get any work done as auditors swarm every inch of government factories and mines, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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.
