The Federal Republic of Nova Bavariae is a massive, safe nation, ruled by M Söder with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.215 billion Nova Bavariaeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Munich. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nova Bavariaean economy, worth 565 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 175,808 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Bavariae's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Nova Bavariae is ranked 146,163^rd in the world and 16^th in Deutschland for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 509.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
