The Empire of Novareus is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 90 million Novareusians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The thriving Novareusian economy, worth 7.83 trillion Aurelias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 86,946 Aurelias, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,420 per year while the poor average 20,392, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.
Children raised in multi-faith households claim the other deity would let them stay up later, Leader is quite hard to get a hold of, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime is moderate. Novareus's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Novareus is ranked 110,166th in the world and 217th in Sophia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,577.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
