The D'deridex-Class WarBird of LegMiner83 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vame with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.476 billion Romulans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mekat. The average income tax rate is 62.8%.
The frighteningly efficient LegMiner83ian economy, worth 955 trillion Tal Shiars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,398 Tal Shiars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, mothers drive their college-graduate children to work, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, and there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LegMiner83's national animal is the Cloaking Device, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mnhei'sahe and Lyrrveoth.
LegMiner83 is ranked 99,332nd in the world and 5th in Eladen for Most Conservative, scoring 68.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
