The Union of Arcturus Novus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tertius Quirinus Maro with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 26.252 billion Arcturans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Social Policy, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veri. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcturan economy, worth a remarkable 5,593 trillion aurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 213,061 aurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing special about Tertius Quirinus Maro, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, Arcturans suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, and sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort. Crime is totally unknown. Arcturus Novus's national animal is the Arcturan valehound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arcturan Orthodoxy.

Arcturus Novus is ranked 365^th in the world and 14^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 32,935.33 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
