The District of Novi Orbis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.472 billion Novi Orbisians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Novi Orbisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,759 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,568 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 144,040 per year while the poor average 10,421, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Novi Orbis's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a problem. Novi Orbis's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Novi Orbis is ranked 65,398^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of Mozambique for Largest Black Market, with 7.43 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
