Overview
The Loose City-State Association of Nova Britannicus is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports industries.
Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the Nova Britannicus Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Britannicus's national animal is the Navy-Bluebird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound Sterling.
