The People's Republic of Novaya Ilma is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General Secretary with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.645 billion Novaya Ilmen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhodesa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Novaya Ilman economy, worth 701 trillion Bosporuses 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 major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,508 Bosporuses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 862,422 per year while the poor average 26,604, a ratio of 32.4 to 1.
The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novaya Ilma's national animal is the Darnadells, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Novaya Ilma is ranked 198,540th in the world and 847th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 49.4012878276 days.
