The Imperium of Romanist is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Aecius with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 44.819 billion Romans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth an astonishing 11,619 trillion Denarius a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 259,249 Denarius, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's not mass murder when the government does it, military training in Romanist emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, and first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romanist's national animal is the Roman Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is to each his own belief.

Romanist is ranked 4,430^th in the world and 2^nd in Brasil for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 592.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
