The Allied States of Romansar is a small, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 20 million Romansarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.9%.

The Romansarian economy, worth 888 billion Romsarian lyres a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,414 Romsarian lyres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is considering changing the Romansarian flag to one with more glitter, street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romansar's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Romansar is ranked 4,186^th in the world and 16^th in Edoca for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 12,344.87 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
