The United Republic of The Free States of Rome is a huge, safe nation, ruled by the Consuls of Rome with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 943 million Romans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth 97.9 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 103,855 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and school children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Free States of Rome's national animal is the Roman swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Free States of Rome is ranked 299,750th in the world and 1,289th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -322.78 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
