The Federation of Novosibersk is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 242 million Novosiberskians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Novosiberski economy, worth 18.3 trillion Sibersk Rubles a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,628 Sibersk Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, any girl that shows an interest in Lego is pressured to study engineering, nose plugs are the latest Novosiberski fashion accessory, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novosibersk's national animal is the Snow Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Novosibersk is ranked 212,661^st in the world and 4,073^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
