The New Golden Age of Halcyon Nova is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Captain Jack Tre' with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 6.73 billion Halcyon Novans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halcyon Nova City. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Halcyon Novan economy, worth 969 trillion Platinum Tikanis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,027 Platinum Tikanis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Halcyon Nova flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Halcyon Nova's national animal is the Malamute, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Halcyon Nova is ranked 2,934^th in the world and 1^st in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Most Armed, with 13.1 Weapons Per Person.
