The D'deridex-Class WarBird of LegMiner50 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Biruhk with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.42 billion Romulans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machrer. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient LegMiner50ian economy, worth 951 trillion Tal Shiars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,186 Tal Shiars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and Cloaking Devices that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LegMiner50's national animal is the Cloaking Device, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mnhei'sahe and Lyrrveoth.
LegMiner50 is ranked 327,832nd in the world and 275th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 43 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
