The Empire of New Olympus-Rome is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Zeus with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 26.631 billion New Olympian-Romans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parntheon State City. The average income tax rate is 71.1%.

The thriving New Olympus-Romean economy, worth a remarkable 2,589 trillion Drachmas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,251 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Parntheon State City Natural History Museum, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Olympus-Rome's national animal is the Minotour, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity and Greek.

New Olympus-Rome is ranked 13,145^th in the world and 2^nd in Region of Hetalia for Nicest Citizens, with 27.03 average smiles per day.
