The Empire of Novatros is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Kai'sa Dragonia II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.647 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Senjō. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Novatrosian economy, worth 257 trillion Aureuses a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,376 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Novatrosian Moonshine", enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and international negotiations always lead to a lot of missile-laneous expenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 50,245^th in the world and 2,261^st in Balder for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 2.74 Bank.
