The Empire of UnitedRomanEmpire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Cristopher Reale with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, fear of technology, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.511 billion UnitedRomanEmpireans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantic. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient UnitedRomanEmpirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,609 trillion Sand Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,946 Sand Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

UnitedRomanEmpire isn't what it used to be, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UnitedRomanEmpire's national animal is the Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

UnitedRomanEmpire is ranked 24,727^th in the world and 49^th in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
