The People's Republic of Soviet Noravia is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Moose population. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 144 million Soviet Noravians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soviet Noravian economy, worth 5.62 trillion Noras a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,062 Noras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, organ donation is compulsory, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Noravia's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Noravia is ranked 122,495^th in the world and 1^st in Noravia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 39.55 Effective Tax Rate.
