The Empire of Nova Iasonia is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 765 million Nova Iasonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Nova Iasonian economy, worth 24.5 trillion Dominuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,970 Dominuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Governments opposing Nova Iasonia are beset by rebels, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Iasonia's national animal is the Takinus.

Nova Iasonia is ranked 129,283^rd in the world and 1^st in Hairy Maguwayah for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 2,878.43 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
