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 vat-grown people, disturbing lack of elderly people, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.125 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, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while Education and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of an abandoned warehouse. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient ROMian economy, worth a remarkable 8,270 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 357,661 Steaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The "walk of shame" is now a daily public spectacle, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and the nation is under martial law. 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 291,532^nd in the world and 6,379^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -17.03 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
