The Theocratic Papal Legacy of Saint Romalia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Papacy Executive with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, avant-garde cinema, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.797 billion Saint Romalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy City of Saint Romalia. The average income tax rate is 90.5%.

The large but inefficient Saint Romalian economy, worth 478 trillion Papal Golds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 70,397 Papal Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water, this year's televised Budget Forecast has been cancelled because there was already one last year, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Romalia's national animal is the Mew, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saint Romalia.

Saint Romalia is ranked 13,396^th in the world and 255^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 61.26 flags saluted per person per day.
