The Romantic Matriarchy of A Little Romance is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 34.205 billion Romantics are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 50.4%.

The Romantic economy, worth a remarkable 1,024 trillion Franks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 29,952 Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is moderate. A Little Romance's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

A Little Romance is ranked 238,507^th in the world and 1^st in La France for Safest, scoring 37.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
