The Free City of Nova Universo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mayor Wihann Cronier with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.616 billion Nova Universistoj enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,105 valutoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nova Universo's national animal is the flying otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nova Universo is ranked 259,638^th in the world and 4^th in Union of Nova Universo for Most Primitive, scoring -185.93 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
