The Confederacy of Novian Republics is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Ishimoto with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.593 billion Novians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sekyo. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novian economy, worth a remarkable 1,281 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,571 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chancellor Ishimoto's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and light entertainment isn't dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novian Republics's national animal is the eagle-owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Novian Republics is ranked 8,883rd in the world and 82nd in Forest for Most Cultured, scoring 125 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
