The Roman Protectorate of Isle of Melitae SPQR is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Caesar 'Octavian' Augustus with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.197 billion Melitaens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Valletta. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Melitaen economy, worth 928 trillion Denariis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 129,069 Denariis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and complaining about Christmas music in October is a ho-ho-horrendous crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle of Melitae SPQR's national animal is the Binu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jupiter.

Isle of Melitae SPQR is ranked 242,973^rd in the world and 4,042^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 481.33 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
