The Empire of Novatros is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Kai'sa Dragonia II with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.774 billion Novatrosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Senjō. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Novatrosian economy, worth 179 trillion Aureuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,290 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Novatrosian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and all the playground's a stage for Novatrosian schoolchildren. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novatros's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Dragon Cult.

Novatros is ranked 2,079^th in the world and 722^nd in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 45,591 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
