The Centralized Union of Novoroyssia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Boris Putin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.264 billion Novoroyssians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Moscow. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Novoroyssian economy, worth a remarkable 5,210 trillion Novoroyssian Hryvnias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 392,831 Novoroyssian Hryvnias, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,131,151 per year while the poor average 108,359, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.
Napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, the country is preparing for war, overweight people receive reparations checks from fast-food chains, and decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novoroyssia's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Voidist atheism.
Novoroyssia is ranked 145,313th in the world and 46th in New Warsaw Pact for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 520.55 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
