The Empire of The Latin State is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Constantine XX with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 25.81 billion Latins 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 Environment, with Industry, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Administration are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castellum ab Alba. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Latin economy, worth 883 trillion Lire a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,245 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Skateparks can be found in every city, The Latin State has designated Castellum ab Alba as its capital city, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and Constantine XX has just been declared ruler of The Latin State in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. The Latin State's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Latin State is ranked 188,598^th in the world and 22^nd in Ajax for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,608.99 Standard Monetary Units.
