The Republic of Novasarizo is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 102 million Novasarizans 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.7%.

The Novasarizoan economy, worth 5.95 trillion Sarins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 58,330 Sarins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Novasarizo's national animal is the The Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Novasarizo is ranked 137,902^nd in the world and 66^th in Sancturia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,313.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
