The Holy Royal Empire of Naviela is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Frederick II with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.265 billion Navielans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mainz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.3%.

The powerhouse Navielan economy, worth a remarkable 1,097 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 118,428 guilders, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,076,647 per year while the poor average 1,490, a ratio of 722 to 1.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, those awarding peace prizes to Navielans find themselves in pieces, nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Naviela's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Naviela is ranked 214,178^th in the world and 4^th in League Of Allied Powers for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 22.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
