“Quisque faber suae fortunae”

The Senatorial Republic of Conserative Morality is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Senate with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.532 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, criminals are thrown to the Ravens to repay their debt to society, nine out of ten citizens of Conserative Morality answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Conserative Morality's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Denarii.

Conserative Morality is ranked 15th in the region and 49,249th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
