The Dictatorship of Novopriozerskstan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Maksim Pavlov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.867 billion Novopriozerskstanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yomistanbul. The average income tax rate is 62.5%.

The Novopriozerskstanian economy, worth 146 trillion Pipes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,346 Pipes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The best spies are positively radiant after completing a big mission, trade ministers have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, and Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Novopriozerskstanian military unleashed its biological weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novopriozerskstan's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Novopriozerskstan is ranked 200,991^st in the world and 206^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
