“Not So Holy, Not So Roman,”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Holy Roman Empire of TF1 TASK FORCE 1 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.652 billion Romans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mare Nostrum. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth a remarkable 3,136 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,890 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TF1 TASK FORCE 1's national animal is the Stray Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TF1 TASK FORCE 1 is ranked 53,439^th in the world and 259^th in Europe for Nudest, with 205.25 cheeks per square mile.
