The Empire of Eastern Roman Empiree is a huge, safe nation, notable for its digital currency, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical population of 282 million Romans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constatinetople. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Roman economy, worth 26.4 trillion Soliduses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 93,674 Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, euthanasia is legal, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Eastern Roman Empiree's new capital. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Roman Empiree's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eastern Roman Empiree is ranked 87,778^th in the world and 78^th in Mitteleuropa for Most Patriotic, with 18.5 flags saluted per person per day.
