The People's Republic of Novaya Ilma is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by General Secretary with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.883 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 92.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Novaya Ilman economy, worth 757 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 195,120 Bosporuses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 845,802 per year while the poor average 28,583, a ratio of 29.6 to 1.

Novaya Ilma's national animal is the Darnadells, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
