The Republic of Novi Slavia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 980 million Novi Slavians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 50.6%.

The all-consuming Novi Slavian economy, worth 102 trillion Krunas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 104,592 Krunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, the average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections, voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, and millions of simultaneously backfiring toilets have flooded Novi Slavia City with effluent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novi Slavia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Novi Slavia is ranked 62,340^th in the world and 103^rd in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,127.87 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
