The Commonwealth of Nova Dixiana is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8 million Dixians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The strong Dixian economy, worth 518 billion Dixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 64,770 Dixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, livestock mutilations are on the rise, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime is almost non-existent. Nova Dixiana's national animal is the Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nova Dixiana is ranked 70,546^th in the world and 122^nd in Federation Of Sovereign States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,007.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
