The Glorious Dominion of Nova Secta is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by His Royal Majesty the King Banastre III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.325 billion Saescians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Williamstown. The average income tax rate is 47.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Saescian economy, worth 740 trillion Hiras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 171,258 Hiras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, and prohibition has allowed a Maxtopian immigrant known only as "Nipples" to establish an illicit breast milk syndicate. Crime is totally unknown. Nova Secta's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Apotheosism.

Nova Secta is ranked 20,883^rd in the world and 2^nd in Teremara for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,002.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
