The Theocracy of Nova Foundation is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 589 million Nova Foundarians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hebron. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nova Foundational economy, worth 32.0 trillion Denarii a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,354 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, Nova Foundation has designated New Hebron as its capital city, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, and Leader can cry on demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Foundation's national animal is the Sheep.

Nova Foundation is ranked 93,603^rd in the world and 1,277^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 24.32 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
