The Empire of The Latin State is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Constantine XX with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.726 billion Latins 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 Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castellum ab Alba. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The strong Latin economy, worth 774 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,353 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Skateparks can be found in every city, The Latin State has designated Castellum ab Alba as its capital city, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and Constantine XX has just been declared ruler of The Latin State in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. The Latin State's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Latin State is ranked 40,576^th in the world and 11^th in Ajax for Most Beautiful Environments, with 741.74 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
