The Free and United Isles of Novos Romanos is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Oye Shiro with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.558 billion Novos Romanosians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novos Romanosian economy, worth 216 trillion Novos Romanosian Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,937 Novos Romanosian Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Novos Romanosian Yen mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novos Romanos's national animal is the Suspiciously human cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Novos Romanos is ranked 80,094^th in the world and 47^th in 21st Century Rome for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 1,431.4 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
