Olympic Games (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

The modern Olympic Games are an international athletic competition designed to foster a friendly yet challenging endeavor for the world's best athletes.

The modern Olympics were revived by the Roman Senate Olympic Committee, designed to organize and create new Olympic games after suggestions from Reman diplomats. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was created by the Roman Senate in 1890 and began to make preparations for the first games.

Sparta, 1892
The first modern games were chosen to be hosted in the city of Sparta, close to the location of ancient Olympia and also known for its historic focus on athletic ability. The Roman Empire also wanted to celebrate its recent victory in the intervention in Africa and figured the military renown of ancient Sparta would do nicely. The city was approved by the IOC in the winter of 1890 and the Roman Empire constructed the various facilities and stadiums needed for the games.

Attending Countries
Because of the Roman Empire's refusal to deal with the People's Republic of France, French athletes were forbidden from attending unless they were citizens of another country. As a result, Poland, also a Communist country, boycotted the games.
