The Archive of Novobran is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Bogdan Maxim with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.339 billion Novobranians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.7%.

The all-consuming Novobranian economy, worth 232 trillion Novrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,263 Novrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Novr mansions, and Bogdan Maxim's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novobran's national animal is the bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Novobran is ranked 89,247^th in the world and 5^th in The Raiders Commune for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,062.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
