The People's Republic of Novopangaea is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Protector with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.344 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, moralistic, 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 5,265 trillion CUS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 258,830 CUS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

To 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Novopangaea will pay them to stop. 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 frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Novopangaea is ranked 2,169^th in the world and 50^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 146.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
