The Republic of NovaRain is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.761 billion NovaRainians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NovaRain Citadel. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient NovaRainian economy, worth a remarkable 3,754 trillion Novas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 384,684 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, and college athletes are arrested for selling lemonade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. NovaRain's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NovaRain is ranked 135,068^th in the world and 4,139^th in the Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 35.78 on the Rand Index.
