Nova Terra Australis was established as a member of the region of USK on the 25th of January, 2005.

The Kingdom of Nova Terra Australis is a huge, devout nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 326 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, punitive tariffs protect local industry, all beauty contests have been banned, and citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Terra Australis's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sesterci.
