The Kingdom of Land of the Rum is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 497 million Romans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Land of the Rumian economy, worth 18.3 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,906 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, genetic researchers have been expelled, and customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Land of the Rum's national animal is the Eagle.

Land of the Rum is ranked 126,130^th in the world and 28^th in India for Most Primitive, scoring -38.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
