The Imperium of Romanist is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Aecius with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 39.664 billion Romans 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.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth an astonishing 10,385 trillion Denarius a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 261,825 Denarius, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's not mass murder when the government does it, military training in Romanist emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, and first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romanist's national animal is the Roman Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is to each his own belief.

Romanist is ranked 9,491^st in the world and 1^st in Brasil for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,641.69 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
