The Federal Republic of Novoskasia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 252 million Novoskasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Novoskasian economy, worth 17.9 trillion Novoskasian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,121 Novoskasian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign despots proudly bandstand on Novoskasian airwaves, libraries have replaced overdue book fines with mandatory mental health assessments, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novoskasia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Novoskasia is ranked 78,668^th in the world and 113^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,270.69 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
