The Ascendancy of Novyros is a huge, safe nation, ruled by The First Luminary Aurelia Veyran with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 869 million Novyrosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auremaris. The average income tax rate is 38.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Novyrosian economy, worth 104 trillion Veyrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 120,297 Veyrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, Novyrosians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, the comic book series 'The First Luminary Aurelia Veyran and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and Novyros's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Novyros's national animal is the Manta Ray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Novyros is ranked 45,414^th in the world and 91^st in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 120,297.73 Standard Monetary Units.
