The Republic of Great Novgorod is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.6 billion Great Novgorodians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novgorod. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Great Novgorodian economy, worth 902 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 66,393 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,780 per year while the poor average 14,203, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Great Novgorod has designated Novgorod as its capital city, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, Leader has just been declared ruler of Great Novgorod in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Great Novgorod's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Great Novgorod's national animal is the bear.

Great Novgorod is ranked 187,994^th in the world and 89^th in Equilism for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,229.19 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
