The Holy Empire of Rommanda is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Archduke Und Blaster Master Reivaj III with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, vat-grown people, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.155 billion Rommandans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Greater Parusia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rommandan economy, worth an astonishing 11,704 trillion Kilos de Vergas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 644,700 Kilos de Vergas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, and all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rommanda's national animal is the Vergasaurio, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vale Verguismo.

Rommanda is ranked 220,589^th in the world and 7,860^th in Lazarus for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -1954.64 on the Hayek Index.
