The Warbird of Balance of Romulan Terror is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Commander Mark Lenard with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.371 billion romulans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romulus. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Balance of Romulan Terrorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,637 trillion denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 231,945 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Concussed eagleball players cannot remember their lineup position, tourist operators promise visitors tours of live burning shipwrecks and plane crash sites, veterans in wheelchairs are left waist-deep in rice paddies to gather grain, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Balance of Romulan Terror. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balance of Romulan Terror's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Mars.

Balance of Romulan Terror is ranked 11,695^th in the world and 8^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Corrupt Governments, with 141.82 kickbacks per hour.
