The Res Publica Romana of Desmosthenes and Burke is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gaius Lucanus Aurelius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.377 billion Burkeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lutetia. The average income tax rate is 32.6%.
The all-consuming Burkean economy, worth a remarkable 1,868 trillion Denarii a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,486 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
The government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and Gaius Lucanus Aurelius's reputation is hard as nails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desmosthenes and Burke's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religio Romanum.
Desmosthenes and Burke is ranked 25,417th in the world and 402nd in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 942.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
