The Republic of Respublica Nova Roma is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.671 billion Respublica Nova Romans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Respublica Nova Roman economy, worth 193 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,567 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", and boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Respublica Nova Roma's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Respublica Nova Roma is ranked 59,282nd in the world and 9th in 001 Alpha Prime for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 66.34 Effective Tax Rate.
