The Alignment of Novacom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Suprainister Denteth Tolion with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 30.822 billion Novans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novesia. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novan economy, worth a remarkable 4,711 trillion Novons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,859 Novons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Novesia to enjoy their national art, and soldiers are authorised to use lethal force to maintain calm in the crash zone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novacom's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Novacom is ranked 2,277^th in the world and 17^th in Gholgoth for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 15,646.57 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
