The Islamic Republic of Novaros is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ahmad Al Kormaani with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.045 billion Novaars 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyre. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novarosian economy, worth 743 trillion Lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,285 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is coughing up funds for lung cancer victims, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and musicians are often arrested for saying "oh my God". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novaros's national animal is the Black Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Twelver Shia Islam.

Novaros is ranked 9,147^th in the world and 6^th in Fullworthia for Most Patriotic, with 65.77 flags saluted per person per day.
