The Democratic Republic of Patria Nuova is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Andrea Aruta with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 1.119 billion patrianovans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florence. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient patrianovan economy, worth 110 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 98,396 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

PN-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, nude art is becoming wildly popular, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patria Nuova's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patria Nuova is ranked 19,575^th in the world and 299^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 60.59 Atheism Rate.
