The Unholy Socialist States of Nova Luma is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kasane Teto with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.32 billion Novians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luma City. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Novian economy, worth 158 trillion Blåhajs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 68,135 Blåhajs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dàguó lanterns outnumber streetlights in major cities, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, and fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Luma's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cat Therapy.

Nova Luma is ranked 18,279^th in the world and 203^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Smartest Citizens, with 71.13 quips per hour.
