The Empire of Roma Augusta is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 339 million Romans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Welfare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth 44.4 trillion sestertiuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 131,095 sestertiuses, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Grim instructresses lead the unwillingly impregnated in chants of "it's all my fault" and "blessed be the fruit", class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, the Roma Augusta Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Roma Augusta's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Roma Augusta is ranked 303,639^th in the world and 62^nd in Texas for Largest Black Market, with 14.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
