The Imperial Federated States of Romandeos is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Caroline I Lockeheart with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 39.792 billion Romani-Mar'si 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vesta. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Romani-Mar'si economy, worth a remarkable 2,166 trillion Krons a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,440 Krons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Empress Caroline I Lockeheart is rumored to have teleportation powers, in a fit of passion Empress Caroline I Lockeheart has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romandeos's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Romandeos is ranked 37,654^th in the world and 25^th in Greater Dienstad for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
