Nation/The New Roman Imperial Empire

The Republic of the New Roman Imperial Empire

Corporate Bordello
"In Deo, speramus."

The Republic of The New Roman Imperial Empire is a huge, devout nation, ruled by Asma Akremar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 827 million Imperials are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperia. Income tax is unheard of. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports industries.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, Asma Akremar has just been declared ruler of The New Roman Imperial Empire in an international press conference, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is crippling. The New Roman Imperial Empire's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its currency is the Za.
