The Power of Holy Roman Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Emperor with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.172 billion Holy Roman Empireans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Regensburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Holy Roman Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 4,350 trillion Marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 166,210 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,723 per year while the poor average 36,177, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

It is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, and every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries. Crime is totally unknown. Holy Roman Empire's national animal is the Adler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Holy Roman Empire is ranked 132,076^th in the world and 6,358^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
