The Hegemony of Claudia Roma is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.821 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Woodchip Exports.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Claudia Roma's national animal is the Eagle, and its currency is the Roma.

Claudia Roma is ranked 8th in Renatia and 12,348th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
