The Res publica of Romanus Americanus is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 4.404 billion Romani-Graecis 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novum Mediolanum. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Romanus Americanusian economy, worth 356 trillion Solidis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,883 Solidis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Straitjackets are a common religious garb, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Romanus Americanus's national animal is the Italian wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hellenic.

Romanus Americanus is ranked 93,352^nd in the world and 87^th in Anteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,640.88 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
