The Kingdom of Nova Sylva is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Jan Cernik with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.24 billion Sylvans 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 large government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kralovice. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Sylvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,909 trillion Krovas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 94,321 Krovas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, the populace has a pathological fear of computers more advanced than pocket calculators, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Sylva's national animal is the T72 Obr 1989, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Nova Sylva is ranked 87,947^th in the world and 2^nd in Compass for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 66 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
