The Free Land of Nova Concordium is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 201 million Nova Concordiumians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The thriving Nova Concordiumian economy, worth 15.1 trillion Dalers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 75,063 Dalers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 409,267 per year while the poor average 7,058, a ratio of 58.0 to 1.

It's always rabbit season, lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, surfers ride tsunamis of record height and toxicity, and health insurance executives die young due to their claims being denied by their own companies. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nova Concordium's national animal is the Marten, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nova Concordium is ranked 95,055^th in the world and 11^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,084.71 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
