The Worker's Land of Novissima Terra is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the people with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 8.353 billion camaradas enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertas. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novoterrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,081 trillion moedas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 129,491 moedas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound, and crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Novissima Terra's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Novissima Terra is ranked 15,325th in the world and 194th in The Leftist Assembly for Nicest Citizens, with 25.91 average smiles per day.
