The Holy Empire of New Holy Rome is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by John Roman with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.966 billion New Holy Romans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neu Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The frighteningly efficient New Holy Romean economy, worth 679 trillion Franks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 229,079 Franks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,421,651 per year while the poor average 15,879, a ratio of 89.5 to 1.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, skateparks can be found in every city, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and John Roman's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Holy Rome's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Personality.

New Holy Rome is ranked 64,336^th in the world and 4^th in The Greater Holy Roman Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,220.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
