The Empire of -Romanus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperador Marco Aurelio III with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, disturbing lack of elderly people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.286 billion Romanos are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The all-consuming Romano economy, worth 106 trillion Denarios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 82,736 Denarios, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bike rage is all the rage, Romano doors require a Ph.D. to open, there's no representation without taxation, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. -Romanus's national animal is the Aguila, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

-Romanus is ranked 94,917^th in the world and 8^th in Gaia Aeterna for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 101.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
