The Allied States of A Nova Terra is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, enslaved workforce, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The democratic population of 459 million Terraquios enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New New York. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nova Terran economy, worth 29.8 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,822 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, the internet has been placed under government control, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named A Nova Terra's new capital. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. A Nova Terra's national animal is the mechanical eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

A Nova Terra is ranked 211,519^th in the world and 4,834^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
