The Federal Empire of Romaco is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Petrus with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 13.056 billion Romaconians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City of Romaco. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Romaconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,872 trillion sestertiuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,413 sestertiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Petrus got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, the government has an "easy come, easy go" policy on youth crime, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Romaco's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lupanism.

Romaco is ranked 308,252^nd in the world and 4^th in The Empire of Mare Nostrum for Safest, scoring 5.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
