The Most Serene Republic of Nova Eudaimonia is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Nova Eudaimonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Nova Eudaimonian economy, worth 699 billion jaunes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 24,108 jaunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Eudaimonia's national animal is the Shoebill Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nova Eudaimonia is ranked 28,578^th in the world and 418^th in the South Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
