The Great Empire of Roomengoo is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Roomengoo I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.996 billion Roomengoos 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roomengoo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Roomengoo economy, worth a remarkable 1,458 trillion Libras a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 243,204 Libras, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 850,367 per year while the poor average 50,549, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

Poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, the country is preparing for war, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roomengoo's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Universal Church of the Creator's Kingdo.

Roomengoo is ranked 241,940th in the world and 1,122nd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
