The Empire of Quintus Roma is a titanic, pleasant nation, ruled by Id with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.087 billion Quintus Romans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Una Civitas. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Quintus Roman economy, worth 380 trillion sals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Retail. Average income is 31,488 sals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, the sal is said to only have value in antique shops, Max Barry finally has time for writing books after NationStates was recently outlawed, and the nation's biggest export is stupidity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quintus Roma's national animal is the imperial lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Monergism.

Quintus Roma is ranked 125,577^th in the world and 5^th in Sumerian Coalition for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,155.26 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
