The Free Land of Republic of Novara is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.097 billion Novarians 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 Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Prime. The average income tax rate is 53.5%.

The all-consuming Novarian economy, worth 102 trillion Novarian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,416 Novarian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Edutainment video games are taking Republic of Novara's students to the next level, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Novara's national animal is the Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Republic of Novara is ranked 47,866^th in the world and 31^st in United Commonwealth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,015.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
