Roman Empire (Superpowers)

The Roman Empire (commonly referred to as Rome or in Latin, the Imperium Romanum) is the largest country in mainland Europe and the oldest surviving empire on Earth. Owning extensive lands in North and East Africa, India, Oceania, and the East coasts of North and South America, the Roman Empire is often called a Global Nation.

As one of the three members of the Foedus Terrae (Alliance of Earth) Rome also holds a prominent position in all matters of terrestrial, and spatial, significance.

Founded as a kingdom in 753 BCE along the River Tiber, the nation was eventually changed into a republic when the old Etruscan Kings were overthrown in 509 BCE. Though the republic saw many periods of unrest and dictatorial rule, it was able to maintain its core principles up until the Great Civil War from 49-45 BCE. Following several more decades of upheaval, the nation was finally reborn like a phoenix from its ashes into a true Empire.

Throughout the two millennia of imperial rule Rome has fought many wars, both internal and external, and had even fought in both World Wars. The Empire's armies have proved incredibly disciplined and throughout this time have never conclusively lost a single war, except of course against itself. There was however only one of these periods of full scale Civil War, and that was from 1006 to 1066 AD. Though there was first a Civil War from 68-69 AD. This Second Civil War ended when Pope Aegranus I called for all the Christians of the empire to unite behind him, placing him on the imperial throne. This combined the title of both Pope and Emperor, only serving to solidify the Emperor's position for millennia to come.

Provinces
With such a large area under the Emperor's control, administrative divisions have always existed to facilitate the overall functioning of the Empire. The largest of these divisions are the provinces. Each province is led by a Viceroy who is chosen directly by the Emperor himself. Whomsoever is chosen will keep their position until; their death, the death of the Emperor or after having fallen out of the Emperor's favor, things which each happen all too frequently. This differs from the old practice of simply placing a high-ranking senator at each provinces head, and is a change implemented following the taking of power by Pope Aegranus after the Second Imperial Civil War.

The provinces themselves are divided into several Regionis, the number being dependent on the province's own size. When these were added by Emperor Aegranus, it was decided that each Senator would have to be given administrative responsibilities of one Regio, with an additional 100 Senators having no control of a Regio. This was seen as sort of a comprise state between the old Imperial and Proconsular Provincial system. Though many rich individuals were kicked out of the Senate to make these changes, the formation of the Concilium Imperia gave them a new equal high-status position to suit their egos.

Originally, the Senators had free reign over their region and could implement any provincial laws only restricted by the Roman Constitution, however in 1783 Emperor Alexander II dissolved the Senate, combining it with the Concilium into his new Discateria Imperia (Imperial Bureau). This put the Senators, now Consuae, under complete submission to the Emperor. Furthermore, this ended the federal system of government enjoyed by the Empire for over half a millennia and forced all Regio to exist under the universal laws of the Empire, enforced by the appointed Viceroy of their parent province. Though the regions still had their own Consua as a leader, they purely had the job of maintaining the finances and what-not of their respective region, as well as the job of bringing forward their own regions concerns to the Bureau's, and therefore the Emperor's, attention.

A more federal system was reinstated by Emperor Sulla II following the end of a state of emergency caused by the Global War. This again allowed regional, as well as provincial, laws to be put in place by the Consuae and Viceroys. Little has changed in this matter over the past few decades and the Empire seems on the path to continuing as such for many centuries to come.
