The Federation of -Roma- is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.484 billion Romans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth a remarkable 1,314 trillion denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 138,568 denarii, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 734,569 per year while the poor average 13,833, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, atheists on vacation find Catholicism's scriptures make useful doorstops, the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest eagle hunting institutions, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. -Roma-'s national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Catholicism.

-Roma- is ranked 238,957th in the world and 7,773rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 22.02482618188 days.
