The Still Not a Republic of New Republic of Roman is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Rolen Owlwrath with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.52 billion New Romanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baronston City. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Romanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,800 trillion Romas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 211,307 Romas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton, the navy plans patrols according to how many pubs nearby ports have, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and concussed Bearball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Republic of Roman's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Republic of Roman is ranked 8,368^th in the world and 8^th in The Black Hawks for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,134.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
