The Roman Imperium of Vulcravia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor William V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.071 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 46.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth 629 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 204,892 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the children of Vulcravia are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulcravia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Romana.

Vulcravia is ranked 14,668^th in the world and 22^nd in United Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 59.08 flags saluted per person per day.
