The Community of Nova Acadia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Mitzi Gerowitz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.386 billion Acadiaks are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cascadia. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Acadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion YS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 216,215 YS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Acadia's national animal is the Acadian Seal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sealism.

Nova Acadia is ranked 9,828^th in the world and 5^th in Kelios for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,620.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
