The Monarchical Republic of Novanuki is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by His Royal Highness Sevastian A Legano IX with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, triple-decker prams, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.274 billion Novagasques 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amrasa. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novagasque economy, worth a remarkable 1,823 trillion Novagasque Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 148,605 Novagasque Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing is beneath the government after it has extracted all the oil, it's not uncommon to see royalty hitchhiking to the nearest party, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Novagasque democracy, and the official Novagasque Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novanuki's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Novanuki is ranked 256,735^th in the world and 18^th in The Eternal Order for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -24.4 on the Hayek Index.
