The Enterprises of Richard Roman is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Roman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.943 billion Leviathans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Leviathan economy, worth a remarkable 6,475 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 249,590 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,987,807 per year while the poor average 7,450, a ratio of 266 to 1.
It is often said that only Richard Roman could bring down Dàguó, justice is blinding, angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, and adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Richard Roman's national animal is the human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.
Richard Roman is ranked 2,010th in the world and 2nd in Pony Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
