The People's Republic of Novosoryos is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 407 million Novorussiyans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Segrad. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Novorussiyan economy, worth 38.0 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 93,383 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novosoryos's national animal is the Antelope, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Novosoryos is ranked 36,130^th in the world and 22^nd in Eientei Gensokyo for Smartest Citizens, with 51.52 quips per hour.
