The East Roman Empire of New Vizantiya is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Basileus Schizolarpos I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.996 billion New Vizantiyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Corinth. The average income tax rate is 25.2%.

The very strong New Vizantiyan economy, worth 427 trillion Roman Drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,269 Roman Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Rural New Vizantiyans stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred, New Vizantiyans incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vizantiya's national animal is the Roman Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

New Vizantiya is ranked 281,513^th in the world and 6^th in The Tea for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
