The Grand Federation of Novist is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Jayden Eric Kennedy with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.087 billion Novistians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollister. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novistian economy, worth 125 trillion Novistian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,837 Novistian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Novist's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Novist is ranked 52,235^th in the world and 1,018^th in the West Pacific for Most Secular, with 25.45 Atheism Rate.
