The Republic of Novogardia is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 244 million Novogardians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The powerhouse Novogardian economy, worth 25.2 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 103,182 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 488,415 per year while the poor average 12,890, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

The government records billions of hours of footage of trees, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, ad hoc militias patrol the streets in an effort to control rampant crime, and asylum seekers have voted Novogardia as best layover destination. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Novogardia's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Novogardia is ranked 54,570^th in the world and 719^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,719.26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
