The Empire of The Western Roman Empjre is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Constantine with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.893 billion Romans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roman economy, worth a remarkable 4,058 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 372,571 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has become increasingly militant, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and Emperor Constantine claims to be the epitome of family values. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Western Roman Empjre's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Latinisiaa.

The Western Roman Empjre is ranked 1,374^th in the world and 49^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 421.04 kickbacks per hour.
