The Federal Republic of Nuvolacity is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 74 million Nuvolacityians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Nuvolacityian economy, worth 3.58 trillion Solidarity Currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,424 Solidarity Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, and the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuvolacity's national animal is the Cocorita, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nuvolacity is ranked 143,891^st in the world and 102^nd in Karma for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,524.07 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
