The Kingdom of Byzantinumus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vlad I with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.316 billion Byzantians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladinopol. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Byzantine economy, worth 998 trillion Solids a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,549 Solids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mathematicians are hated by children across the country, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, the nation has been sent to bed early for unspecified naughtiness, and undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Byzantinumus's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ianism.

Byzantinumus is ranked 81,760^th in the world and 465^th in Europe for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 172,578 Standard Monetary Units.
