The Blue Ancient City of Neovilla is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wisdoms of Neova with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.61 billion Neovianese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ancient City of Neovilla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Neovian economy, worth 971 trillion neovis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,903 neovis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 422,400 per year while the poor average 40,603, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

The media seems excessively interested in what Wisdoms of Neova is wearing this season, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Wisdoms of Neova's bedroom, getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter, and mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Neovilla's national animal is the Neovian butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Cult of the Goddess Neova.

Neovilla is ranked 269,936th in the world and 260th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
