The Imperium of Romulan Star Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 15.266 billion Romulans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Romulan economy, worth a remarkable 1,669 trillion Talons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,350 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, and the nation's poor can be seen scavenging trash bins for used coffee grounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romulan Star Empire's national animal is the Tavara, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Romulan Star Empire is ranked 274,025^th in the world and 17^th in New Hyperion for Most Primitive, scoring -270.49 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
