The Empire of Nova Imperium is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.39 billion Nova Imperiumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The strong Nova Imperiumian economy, worth 474 trillion imperial pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 64,245 imperial pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Imperium's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nova Imperium is ranked 263,691^st in the world and 3^rd in Empire for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 476.43 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
