The Holy Empire of Roman food is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.81 billion Roman foodians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of lasagna. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Roman foodian economy, worth 77.1 trillion eruos a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,597 eruos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, die-hard fans excitedly cheer when the queen takes a rook, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and leakers release information by etching graffiti on bathroom stalls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Roman food's national animal is the sheep and cats, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Roman food is ranked 220,512^th in the world and 61^st in The Mood for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 44.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
