The Republic of Nova Kartago is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mr President Tullius Karpos with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.818 billion Nova Kartagoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kartago. The average income tax rate is 13.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nova Kartagoan economy, worth 117 trillion Ŝekels a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 64,491 Ŝekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Shaking a stone out of your shoe is considered to be dangerously risqué, the government snoops on private internet connections, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nova Kartago's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Nova Kartago is ranked 32,079^th in the world and 8^th in Mediterranean for Most Pacifist, with 109.43 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
