The Still Not a Republic of New Republic of Roman is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Rolen Owlwrath with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.152 billion New Romanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baronston City. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Romanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion Romas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 198,600 Romas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, commemoration of the Great The Black Hawks War costs almost as much as the war itself, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Republic of Roman's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Republic of Roman is ranked 4,898th in the world and 15th in The Black Hawks for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
