The Imperial Federation of Novanar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Vivianne IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.579 billion Novans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Léonsberg. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novan economy, worth a remarkable 3,616 trillion Black credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 248,031 Black credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, radiation is a hot topic, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime is totally unknown. Novanar's national animal is the Peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Novanar is ranked 6,270^th in the world and 502^nd in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 199.09 kickbacks per hour.
