The Empire of NOVA ANTIOQUIA is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 560 million antioquinoes are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong NOVA ANTIOQUIAian economy, worth 38.9 trillion ouroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,415 ouroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, NOVA ANTIOQUIA has designated NOVA ANTIOQUIA City as its capital city, bizarre-looking creatures called 'dragãodogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NOVA ANTIOQUIA's national animal is the dragão, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NOVA ANTIOQUIA is ranked 156,421^st in the world and 26^th in United Commonwealth for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 385.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
