The Imperium of Roman American is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Imperator Georgius Maxentius Caesar with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 4.314 billion Roman Americans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma Dioecesis Columbiae. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Roman American economy, worth 598 trillion Nummus Aureuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,809 Nummus Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Treason is relative, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roman American's national animal is the Capitoline She-Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Roman American is ranked 176,465th in the world and 8th in Roma Invicta for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 488.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
