The Commonwealth of Nova Antartica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edward with a fair hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.186 billion Nova Antarticans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Base Edward. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.1%.

The very strong Nova Antartican economy, worth a remarkable 1,219 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,586 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 142,311 per year while the poor average 11,820, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, Nova Antartica has designated Base Edward as its capital city, Icism has been named as Nova Antartica's national religion, and Edward has just been declared ruler of Nova Antartica in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Nova Antartica's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Icism.

Nova Antartica is ranked 178,431^st in the world and 1^st in USAsia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 830.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
