The New Federation of Novostia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Your Mother with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.408 billion Novostians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novisbourg. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novostian economy, worth 442 trillion Dabloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,492 Dabloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, third world countries are rich in "I Love Novisbourg" t-shirts, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novostia's national animal is the Your Mother, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Your Mother.

Novostia is ranked 17,138th in the world and 1,039th in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,300.1 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
