The Protectorate of Romongam is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Carol II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.767 billion Romongamians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novasalem. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.

The thriving Romongamian economy, worth 240 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,932 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, and photographs that show ladies' ankles are considered risqué. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romongam's national animal is the Golden Main lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sacred Protestant Christianity.

Romongam is ranked 45,384^th in the world and 1^st in The White Citadel for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 69.19 Effective Tax Rate.
