Kingdom of Novoselic

The Kingdom of Novoselic is a small European monarchy that exists in the universe of Hope's Peak Series. It is Sonia Nevermind's home country.

During the Tragedy, Novoselic was destroyed by the forces of Ultimate Despair, including its own princess. Whether it recovered following the Tragedy is unknown.

Country
Based on Sonia's stories, Novoselic is an extremely small country governed by an absolute monarchy. Though the population is small, its economy is thriving, so the people of the country can live comfortable lives.

For generations, the royal family has protected the kingdom and its people from its neighboring countries. Thanks to that, the people still have complete trust toward the royal family.

Novoselic has many unique traditions, some of which revolve around mysterious local wildlife. For instance, couples in Novoselic cannot get married until they each capture a rare animal native to Novoselic called a Makango and show them to one another; if the relationship involves a member of the royal family, they are expected to catch a Golden Makango instead. Additionally, the people of Novoselic are not acknowledged as an adult until they consume an animal called a Skong. Sonia expresses concern that these practices may be endangering the ecosystem, and wishes to adjust the traditions to preserve the Makango and Skong populations.

According to Sonia, Novoselic has a legendary hero that looks exactly like Hajime Hinata, although the description simply indicates that said hero has a white shirt, an ahoge, and a completely unremarkable face.

Novoselic Royal Castle
The royal family of Novoselic has been living in the royal castle for over a thousand years. Even though the castle is old and small, it's truly a wonderful, historic building.

Sonia states that getting lost in the castle subterranean labyrinth is easy. The barracks are fully equipped as well.
