The Republic of Nova Tero is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Ruhaima Mansur with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.912 billion Nova Teruloj are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elemanpra. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Terulo economy, worth 901 trillion valutoes 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 major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,550 valutoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is totally unknown. Nova Tero's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Tero is ranked 15,117^th in the world and 2^nd in Union of Nova Universo for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,297.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
