The Empire of New Khemet is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 453 million Neo-Romans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Roman economy, worth 58.6 trillion denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 129,456 denarii, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,144 per year while the poor average 25,547, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

Popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Khemet's national animal is the imperial eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Khemet is ranked 305,598^th in the world and 61^st in THE W0RLD for Nudest, with 11 cheeks per square mile.
