The People's Republic of Novopangaea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Protector with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.449 billion Novopangaeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of URBS MAGNA. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Novopangaean economy, worth a remarkable 6,852 trillion CUS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,250 CUS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Novopangaeans, the word 'elite' appears as a synonym for various insults in the Novopangaean Colonial Thesaurus, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novopangaea's national animal is the axolotl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Novopangaea is ranked 303,707^th in the world and 536^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.38 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
