The Theocracy of Senatus Popules Romanus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Great Caesar Julius Augustus IV with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.192 billion Romans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The thriving Romanus economy, worth 104 trillion SPQR Aurelias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 87,280 SPQR Aurelias, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 517,645 per year while the poor average 6,773, a ratio of 76.4 to 1.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, prudishness is on the way out, Great Caesar Julius Augustus IV can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, and several inches are being added to first class seating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Senatus Popules Romanus's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Senatus Popules Romanus is ranked 43,790^th in the world and 1^st in Regio Catholicorum for Most Patriotic, with 30.41 flags saluted per person per day.
