The Commonwealth of Nova-Australis is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 15.562 billion Australians 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 relatively small government is dominated by the Department of Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 25.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Australian economy, worth a remarkable 1,618 trillion Australian dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,025 Australian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nova-Australis's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nova-Australis is ranked 5,563^rd in the world and 8^th in Khuzifenq for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 59.06 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
