“A Change in Plans”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Island of Novaya Zemlja is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by a fair-handed ruler with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.858 billion Novaya Zemljans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Novaya Zemljan economy, worth a remarkable 3,803 trillion checks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 212,976 checks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,965,974 per year while the poor average 2,286, a ratio of 859 to 1.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, the weather in Novaya Zemlja City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Novaya Zemlja's national animal is the snow fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Novaya Zemlja is ranked 265,855^th in the world and 369^th in Anteria for Most Patriotic, with 0.55 flags saluted per person per day.
