The Empire of The Western Roman Empjre is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Augustus Caesar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.078 billion Romans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth 603 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 195,982 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, strategic bombers are being converted into preschools, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and immigrants who don't like the taste of Roman Turnip Chips are immediately deported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Western Roman Empjre's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.

The Western Roman Empjre is ranked 6,451^st in the world and 10^th in The Socialist Syndicalist Union for Highest Poor Incomes, with 122,312.81 Standard Monetary Units.
