The Intergalactic Nation of Novisprium is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 4.398 billion Novispriumians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nebula City. The average income tax rate is 79.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Novispriumian economy, worth 655 trillion sprias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 149,146 sprias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Young adults still believe that wyverns deliver newborns to expecting parents, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novisprium's national animal is the wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Novisprium is ranked 36,309^th in the world and 573^rd in ArilCards Inc for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 25,084.75 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
