Central Roman Empire | Roma Centrum

 * Government: Semi-decentralised Imperial Monarchy
 * Emperors:
 * Constantine III (r. 834-858) (b. 810-858)
 * Alexios (r. 858-) (b. 832)
 * Military: 256,000 in total. After the war against Atlas, the Central Roman Empire faces two threats, one imminent and one that would soon change the shape of history, the Hassanid Arzarkhate. The Arzarkhate would potentially be unstoppable and the Central Roman Empire is anticipating any possible invasion that was supposed to be from the Jaghatai Khaganate, but things have changed since the Century of Peace had passed. With that in mind, there is also the Avars in the north. Under Constantius, the number of troops have substantially increased to fight back the Avars after the war against the Avars, but not enough against the Arzarkhate.
 * Economy: The Central Roman Empire in the late 8th century and early decades of the 9th century saw itself having a trade and financial boom. But when the Avars came, trading with the north with Vedena has been significantly reduced. Tartary, the buffer and ex-Roman kingdom has now collapsed to its knees. This has put a huge blow to decades-old trade routes that are established by merchants of Vedena. In the East, the Silk Road is now under control of the Arzarkhate. The East can't be traded anymore, for now at least. However, the Central Roman Empire has obtained silkworms from the former Eastern Roman Empire or Roma Oriental, allowing them to continue producing silk and forcing everyone in Europe to buy silk from Constantinople, which is good.
 * Demographics: (Does not include Nabatea, Mussolinia and Orientia)
 * Population: 25,900,000 (approximate)
 * Constantinople: 700,000
 * Large cities: 2,500,000
 * Small settlements: 5,800,000
 * Rural areas: 16,900,000
 * Religion: 77% Christian, 1% Zoroastrian, 10% Neo-Hellenism, 0.5% Judaism, 11.5% Other
 * Culture: 29.5% Greek, 5% Armenian, 7% Illyrian, 10% Thracian, 5% Assyrian, 0.5% Jewish/Israelite, 20% Egyptian, 6% Escosian, 17% Other
 * Diplomacy:
 * Avars: See diplomacy.
 * Events:
 * Preparing for Defence: A network of fortresses are continued to be built as a fallback line and troops are being routinely enlisted and conscripted, all trained for the inevitable battle that comes forward. Numbers have been raised up to historical levels since the war with the Iranian Empire. The Assyrians, which they are the closest ally to the Central Romans, are the buffer state for what comes next. But it is vital to send thousands of troops there, along with support and trade of resources to ensure that they could never get pass the Fertile Crescent. It is best for them to support them in the most vital way, as they were a historical ally and backstabbing them won't lead to them winning the war at the time. As the Romans feared, if they break through, then the fall would come forward.
 * The Hassanid Threat: The Hassanids are bringing in tens of thousands of religious refugees to the Central Roman Empire. They are largely accepted, with increased the proportion of Persian people by some extent.
 * Avars: Despite the eastern front being the most concerning, the blowing up of the Danube bridges isn't going to stop the threat of the Avars from reaching the south. The best that they can do to support Escosia is to keep troops standing at the middle of the Carpathian mountains. Missionaries are being sent to negotiate a deal and hopefully convert them to Christianity in the hopes of stopping their continued invasion to the west, but they are likely to be executed by the merciless leader that leads the khaganate. Even so, this would be the last-ditch effort to bring diplomacy as a topic for both the Central Roman Empire and the Avars.
