The Democratic Capitalist Empire of Nuvo is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Adi III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 972 million Nuvoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basend. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nuvoan economy, worth 139 trillion Emeralds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 143,027 Emeralds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, Nuvo has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, and prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuvo's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nuvo is ranked 36,901^st in the world and 22^nd in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,364.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
