Template:Nation infoboxNovenæ, nicknamed the City of Corporations, is a city-state located in the central region of the Doggerlands, sandwiched between Byfair to the north and Sunnyvale to the south. The city is known for its' accepting attitude towards businesses and business entrepeneurs, a tax haven for upper-class corporate bigshots, and its' long-honored mindset of staying neutral unless provoked.
History
Novenae was originally proposed within TCH's High Corporate Chamber, marketed as a place where corporations could do business, initiate peace talks, and hold meetings. Old Flopland adjoining Sunnyvale was bulldozed, and flattened to make way for new developments in the city.
Shortly after, the current government, set up by the TCH directorate, would come into power. HR was put into place as Prime Minister and pushed the country forth with a battery of new legislation and urban projects.
Government and Politics
Novenæ's functions as a Unicameral Parliamentary Democracy, with the Novenae Parliament as the main legislative body. Parliament is composed of elected officials, corporate ambassadors, and persons invited by the Prime Minister.
Military
The Novenae Defense Force is composed of soldiers and equipment donated to Novenae by various corporations. These corporations often receive a seat on the defense council, a cut of the defense budget, and veto power within Congress for the highest supplier.
Neutrality
Novenae's constitution prohibits it from declaring war or showing acts of aggression towards other nations unless previously provoked.
Economy
Novenae has been ranked one of the easiest cities to do business in, and the government encourages corporation owners to create headquarters and embassies in Novenae. The corporate tax is among the lowest in the Doggerlands, coupled with strong property rights and little regulations restricting businesses big and small. To top that, many Corporate ambassadors are invited to become members of the Novenae Parliament, posing more benefits for corporations as they get a hand in the country's government.
Controversy
Novenæ's government recently came under fire due to it's handling of the Gray Death refugee crisis. Refugees, hoping to make it into Novenæ approached the border and were ordered to stop by security forces. A riot ensued, with Novenæ police barely being able to push back the refugees. The Novenæ Defense Force was mobilized fully onto the scene- bringing with them flamethrowers and other anti-riot measures. An estimated 30,000 refugees were wounded, injured, or killed in the ordeal.
Prime Minister H.R. has since offered an official apology for the incident, and claims that the government will be reviewing how they handle these incidents in the future.
