The Roman Imperium of Vulcravia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Julius IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.852 billion Romans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vulcravian economy, worth 337 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,377 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizen radio operators agree that the certification test can open up a world of hertz, nephews and nieces of the monarch resort to begging from relatives in palace halls, war is made in the name of love, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulcravia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Romana.

Vulcravia is ranked 214,050^th in the world and 311^th in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
