The Federation of New Roman Republics is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.511 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.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

International tensions are high as New Roman Republics threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Roman Republics's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the denario.

New Roman Republics is ranked 139th in Europe and 2,184th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 96 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
