The Redemption of Asia Nova is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dimaro Duhuang with an even hand, and notable for its burgeoning bear population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.818 billion Asia Novans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Policy, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Bangkok. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.1%.

The very strong Asia Novan economy, worth 572 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 23,061 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, Asia Nova has designated New Bangkok as its capital city, Dimaro Duhuang has just been declared ruler of Asia Nova in an international press conference, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is a problem. Asia Nova's national animal is the bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Capitalism.

Asia Nova is ranked 201,584^th in the world and 1^st in Yokosuka for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 40 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
