The Allied States of Romansar is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 45 million Romansarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Romansarian economy, worth 1.62 trillion Romsarian lyres a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,954 Romsarian lyres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls, the government has put a kid glove on the invisible hand of the free market, and there's no such thing as a safe bet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romansar's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Romansar is ranked 175,397^th in the world and 273^rd in Edoca for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,119.94 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
