The Monarchical Republic of Novanuki is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by His Royal Highness Sevastian A Legano IX with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.705 billion Novagasques have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amrasa. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novagasque economy, worth a remarkable 1,889 trillion Novagasque Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 148,696 Novagasque Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

It's not uncommon to see royalty hitchhiking to the nearest party, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Novagasque democracy, the official Novagasque Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novanuki's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Novanuki is ranked 251,381^st in the world and 11^th in The Eternal Order for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 527.93 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
