The Community of Nova Bromelia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Representative with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.045 billion Nova Bromelians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naganin. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nova Bromelian economy, worth 337 trillion actual values 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,862 actual values, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Bromelia's national animal is the non-human citizen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fire Worship.

Nova Bromelia is ranked 19,213^th in the world and 8^th in St Abbaddon for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 264.51 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
