The Republic of Nova Olivia is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Nova Olivians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The very strong Nova Olivian economy, worth 1.24 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 68,968 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nova Olivia's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nova Olivia is ranked 155,121^st in the world and 1,163^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 763.52 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
