The Holy Roman Space Empire of Byroms is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Darth Tiberius Caetronius with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.471 billion Space Imperials are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Seoul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 3,641 trillion Won a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 347,814 Won, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,575,762 per year while the poor average 47,105, a ratio of 33.5 to 1.
Every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Neo Seoul, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Byroms's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sith.
Byroms is ranked 216,188th in the world and 7,285th in Lazarus for Most Politically Free, scoring 13.29 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
