The National Purification State of Nova-Hyperborea is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Atlas Holtz with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.578 billion Hyperboreans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thule. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hyperborean economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion Golden Runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 338,515 Golden Runes, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Relationships often break down when doctors tell couples they are genetically incompatible, the nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, any girl that shows an interest in Lego is pressured to study engineering, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova-Hyperborea's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is National Hyperborean Revival.

Nova-Hyperborea is ranked 249,159^th in the world and 6,670^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -13.08 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
