The Democratic Republic of Romacula is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.731 billion Romaculans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Romaculan economy, worth 663 trillion Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 140,183 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romacula's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Romacula is ranked 287,287th in the world and 11,012th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -19.03 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
