The Pangaea of Novaci is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tobias Dane with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.654 billion Novacians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldervolk. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novacian economy, worth a remarkable 4,586 trillion Quidbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 362,445 Quidbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, and Tobias Dane's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Novaci's national animal is the Ministrata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Finchites.

Novaci is ranked 233,495th in the world and 7,103rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.41636001352 days.
