The Free Federation of Nova Palidor is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Freedom with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.018 billion Nova Palidorians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Education, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty. Income tax is unheard of.

The very strong Nova Palidorian economy, worth 417 trillion Freemarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,442 Freemarks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 433,470 per year while the poor average 4,741, a ratio of 91.4 to 1.

Bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, the smell of tobacco is often smelt around legislative buildings across the nation, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nova Palidor's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Serenity.

Nova Palidor is ranked 18,613^th in the world and 1^st in Avalon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,202.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
