Central Roman Empire | Roma Centrum

 * Government: Imperial Monarchy
 * Emperors:
 * Justinian II (r. 720-) (b. 700)
 * Military: 190,000 in total, weariness has started to take toll of the military. Despite Leo IV's efforts to keep morale up, the Persians had finally broken through the front in the Assyrian campaign - leaving much of the Central Roman Empire in distress, not to mention that the fall of Roma Oriental had also crippled the reason to preserve the Roman Empire's greatness, it seems that it had already been so. Tactics and experience from the Byzantine-Shapurid War had greatly changed the Central Roman army permanently.
 * Economy: Currency exists in the Central Roman Empire and is minted with riches like silver and gold, although it is slightly crude by modern standards, it bears the Emperor still on every coin when it was minted, of course. Trading by Central Roman merchants, especially Constantinople itself now spreads across Europe and the Arabian peninsula after changing opinions over the decades of "barbaric nations" that were coined a century ago, although once the war finally ends, trading with the east will greatly be maximised. War has not greatly impacted the Central Roman economy as much of the conflict is in Assyria - but it has dramatically shaped trading as many European traders (from the west) had come through the north in order to get to the east and into Iran, that is if they could survive the steppes or to the south. When peace comes, the balance would be restored and that the Silk Road would thrive again and make profit with the Central Roman Empire.
 * Demographics: (Does not include Nabatea)
 * Population: 22,490,000 (approximate)
 * Constantinople: 700,000
 * Large cities: 1,620,000
 * Small settlements: 5,170,000
 * Rural areas: 15,000,000
 * Religion: 88% Christian, 3% Zoroastrian, 4% Neo-Hellenism (around the boundaries of Atlas), 1% Judaism, 4% Other
 * Culture: 40% Greek, 10% Armenian, 10% Illyrian, 15% Thracian, 5% Assyrian, 1% Jewish/Israelite, 19% Other
 * Diplomacy:
 * Orientia: (see the treaty)
 * Grane: Time to end the war, if you don't want to lose more.
 * Muscat-Oman: Time to end the war. Diplomats have been withdrawn by some amount, in the case that the treaty is not accepted by the Iranian Empire or they need amendment.
 * Iranian Empire (I hate to write this treaty with detail but who cares): "We ask for peace under these conditions: Any parties participant of the ongoing conflict (Central Roman Empire, the Iranian Empire, Assyria, Orientia, Assyria, Sumer, Grane and Muscat-Oman) will not wage any war for the 100 years against each party, if any party attacks the other, then it would be considered the violation of this treaty and that all parties will be forced to declare war on the offending nation that waged war. This will bring peace to the region. Another clause is that the Iranian Empire shall vassalise Assyria and Sumer as they wish as part of their own gain, annexing as much land so long both have their own sovereignty intact for the next 100 years and that the Central Roman Empire shall vassalise Orientia as they are the remainder of what is left of the Eastern Roman Empire itself and indeed of the Roman Empire, if the Iranian Empire accepts that proposal that the Central Roman Empire respects their own sovereignty with the same duration, along with the already vassalised nation of Nabatea."
 * Events:
 * Byzantine-Shapurid War (606-[730?]):
 * The Fall of Roma Oriental: As the war raged on, the fall of Roma Oriental on 727 was a detrimental one for the Central Roman Empire, their casus belli had annulled as a result. With Justinian II being in charge of the empire itself and that he grew up to be almost entirely obsessed with his grandfather and his own poisoned death, he pulled some of the troops out but not entirely on orientalia, should Persians mark an offensive on them.
 * Weariness: The Assyrian campaign was marked with massive failure. Perhaps the most embarassing thing is that the casualties of the Central Roman Empire is very high, marked with failure thanks to the Persians managing to collapse the Eastern Roman Empire and created that high war weariness and lower morale. Troops are still garrisoned with few reinforcements arriving, but not much as Justinian II had ordered, much to the generals who were dismayed - Leo IV was seen by them as a war hero.
 * Preparations for Future Attacks: With the luck that the Khazars are not willing to join the war, Justinian II however needed to prepare for any future, unsuspecting attacks that can come from any direction. Fortresses are being built across the Central Roman Empire, not just in the boundaries of the east, but also along the Danube river, since the Northern Roman Empire no longer exists by name, but a Germanic Christian Imperium (or the Holy German Empire) where much of the Roman influenced waned but Latin scripture and language being used religiously when interpreting the Bible.
 * Emperor Justinian II: After the sudden death of Emperor Leo IV, his eldest son, Justinian II became the Emperor of the Central Roman Empire. He grew up to learn about the mysterious assassination of his own grandfather and eventually came down to the conclusion that his father had probably been involved in a conspiracy to assassinate him, though he and his own generals and soldiers, along with those involved in that plot had done everything to clear that up. It is not decisive that he did carry out the poisoning of Michael, but he believed his father did. He saw that the Central Roman Empire needed humility when he was just 18 (two years before the death of his father) when he talked to the governor of the theme of Macedonia. He was suppressed by his own father from publicly speaking out about his opinions, as he would've faced being no longer the heir and pushing his own legitimacy away from the throne. Thankfully the death of Emperor Leo IV has allowed him to usurp the title. The nobles were in support of him to end the war, once and for all when he wrote a new treaty, with some amendments that were deprived from the 'torn' peace treaty that was sent to Emperor Michael, hoping to fulfil his own grandfather's wish: to end the war 50 years or less after his own death.
