The Dominion of Novescardia Farms is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Arthur with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.273 billion Elpians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borônia. The average income tax rate is 68.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Elpian economy, worth 252 trillion pilas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,038 pilas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novescardia Farms's national animal is the Hopeian fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mojanguism.
Novescardia Farms is ranked 17,873rd in the world and 11th in Imperial Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 298.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
