The Imperium of Romae in Perpetuum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Gemellus Caesar with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.194 billion 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth a remarkable 6,932 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 428,102 Denarii, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,363,039 per year while the poor average 39,189, a ratio of 60.3 to 1.
