Romulus, or ch'Rihan to the natives, was the homeworld of the Romulan people and the capitol planet of the Romulan Star Empire until it was severely damaged by a supernova in 2380. Romulans from this planet enjoyed a higher standard of living than those on the colony worlds and had better healthcare, better jobs, more opportunities in the Romulan Star Navy and Tal Shiar. On the other side of this coin, the Romulus population was under much more scrutiny from the Senate and the Tal Shiar. The people have been moved to another planet whose name the Federation does not know and it is unknown whether the population continues to at once enjoy both a higher and lower standard of living than the colonists.

Economy

Romulus' economy greatly included farming and livestock for the population to make into food, as well as taverns, several shipyards, and many military installations as well as government offices. Needless to say, included in the economy are restaurants, clothing manufacturers, and other areas needed for a functioning society.

Food and Liquor

See also: Farmer Gurri

The making of liquor and farming, both crops and livestock, employed some 38 percent of Romulan workers. This did not include their children who assist with the chores after their studies are done, as every set of hands is needed. Crops included aleberries, fruits, and grains, the aleberries made into Romulan Ale by the people who grow them, similar to winemakers on Earth and other planets. The farmers and drink makers of Romulus typically lived in smaller townships, due to the amount of land needed for the plants and animals. However, after the supernova, most of these crops and animals were lost and now are in the process of being replaced with others such as cows, chickens, or wheat.

Government Employees

Government employees, including those in the shipyards, make up around 37 percent of the workforce on Romulus. Perhaps the largest parts of this group are the Tal Shiar and the Star Navy Shipyards.

Tal Shiar Headquarters

The government offices made up around 43 percent of the economy of Romulus. The location of the Tal Shiar headquarters was unknown, however it was believed to have employed around 900,000 people who did not dress in their uniforms until they showed up to work for their own safety. The R&D Division was the most populous as it was full of scientists and engineers working on projects for use by the Tal Shiar. There were also prisoners of war and captured civilians from other powers such as the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Cardassian Union, the Gorn Hegemony and others for experimental study for bioweapons against these peoples to be used by the Tal Shiar and the Romulan Star Navy. The Mind Warfare Division was the smallest division given the sensitive nature and ethical questions surrounding it and its members were selected very carefully. Also, Tal Shiar agents out of uniform constantly walk the streets of Romulus, ensuring the loyalty of the population, creating a mood of paranoia and suspicion.

Local Governments

Governments of the many cities and provinces of Romulus did not have much power considering how close they were to the heart of the Imperial government. The Imperial government often overrode orders of the local governments and did not give them prior notice. However, the local governments took their frustration out on the local people by adding to their already high taxes. This does not mean that the local governments were all well run; some of the city and provincial governments allowed situations like hovercar garages or roads in disrepair to become extreme before actually handling the situations, and then took a longer time than necessary finishing the job.

Senate and Imperial Government

See also: Romulan Senate The Senators themselves are born to their positions although they are a small fraction of the government. Indeed, it is their various aides, secretaries, janitors, and other employees that make up most of the senatorial staff. The aides have some influence with their employers, though not much and must be careful to not overuse it as they may be killed for doing so. The secretaries know much about what happens in each senator's day, however, they do not always know the details as half the time it is not written down out of self-preservation. Each aide and secretary keep their silence to keep themselves alive, unless they happen to be a part of the dissident movement.

Romulan Star Navy Shipyard

The shipyard found in orbit of Romulus was destroyed at the time of the supernova but when it was there it employed some 3 million Romulan workers in positions of engineer, secretary, and administration jobs among others. Many of the Romulan warships in the Star Navy were built here, though the ones that were in progress in 2380 were also destroyed.

Gurrhim tr'Sedhri

Gurrhim tr'Sedhri owned around 60 percent of the farms for both crops and livestock on the planet, causing many to call him Farmer Gurri and criticize him for being a simple farmer when he could have been much more. However, his family and clan were large enough that they consolidated under one person to take care of everyone in the family, and that was Gurrhim. Gurrhim and his clan became so rich that he opened his own research and development office, officially for the genetic engineering of plants and animals. However, he also created technologies such as a device that cloaked itself, its carrier, deadened any listening devices, stored around 500 petabytes of information, along with several other functions. However, Gurrhim died when Hobus went nova and it is unknown whether any of his property survived.
