The Republic of Nova Luma is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kasane Teto with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.199 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 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Novian economy, worth 126 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, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,601 Blåhajs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, Novian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. 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.

Nova Luma is ranked 4,543^rd in the world and 88^th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 130.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
