The Grand Duchy of Nova Zemia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 800 million Nova Zemians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Zemian economy, worth 101 trillion Zemers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,379 Zemers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Nova Zemian politicians, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nova Zemia's national animal is the Two Headed Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nova Zemia is ranked 314,192^nd in the world and 262^nd in Wintreath for Most Patriotic, with 1.03 flags saluted per person per day.
