The Holy Free People of Nouvelle Maison is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Noé l'Ouvert with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.006 billion Maisonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grandé Endroit. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nouvelle Maisonian economy, worth 182 trillion louses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 91,084 louses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

To say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and posters on 'Nouvelle Maisonian Values' advise against being proud of Nouvelle Maison. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nouvelle Maison's national animal is the Dahu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Liberté de Choix.

Nouvelle Maison is ranked 211,571^st in the world and 16^th in The Region Of Gargery for Most Devout, with 5.49 Prayers Per Hour.
