The Federal Republic of Novo cruzeiro is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leminkäimen Sholz with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.690.475 Otislovenses enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praķiêt. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Otislovense economy, worth 336 trillion reais a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,424 reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The comic book series 'Leminkäimen Sholz and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novo cruzeiro's national animal is the Otislovense tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deutugavo'otislóv.é
