The Federation of Roma Meridium is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President David Holomius with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.976 billion Meridians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The Meridian economy, worth 312 trillion Meridium Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,265 Meridium Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, Christianity has been named as Roma Meridium's national religion, and President David Holomius has just been declared ruler of Roma Meridium in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roma Meridium's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Roma Meridium is ranked 85,457^th in the world and 3,477^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 25.88 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
