The Most Serene Republic of Nova Alterra is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.495 billion Nova Alterrans 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The strong Nova Alterran economy, worth 129 trillion Estedoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 52,010 Estedoes, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and Nova Alterran watches list strained wrists as a common side effect. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Alterra's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nova Alterra is ranked 144,756^th in the world and 140^th in Nova Alterra for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,139.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
