The GENERALLY HONOURABLE NATION of ROM is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by some dude named jeff with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.4 billion Stans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Education and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of an abandoned warehouse. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient ROMian economy, worth a remarkable 8,800 trillion Steaks 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, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. 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 an amazing 360,666 Steaks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,072,381 per year while the poor average 95,101, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, bereaved families are assigned a new housemate the day after the funeral, and the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. ROM's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is dragon worshippers.

ROM is ranked 2,061^st in the world and 44^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 13,384.97 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
