The Republic of Ancient Roma is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 472 million Romans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Roman economy, worth 13.9 trillion denariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,422 denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancient Roma's national animal is the Black eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ancient Roma is ranked 89,517^th in the world and 9^th in militian right wing for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
