Roman Republic

 * Government:
 * Consuls:
 * (53) Rufio Gallus (178 BC to 162 BC)
 * (54) (162 BC to 160 BC )
 * (55)  (160 BC to 152 BC)
 * (56)  (152 BC to present)
 * Policies:
 * Atlas Question: Many historians looked to the question of annexation of Atlas as a fabrication for propaganda. Despite this, Atlas became very well Roman, to some.
 * Rein of Rufio Gallus: Rufio Gallus enacted "dictator" policy after the Punic War to better manage future provinces and to lead future conquests.
 * Military: There is approximately 15 legions, each contains 5000 to 6000 legionaries each further divided into cohorts with 500 to 600 men each. There are about 10 auxiliary legions as well (3,000 each) also containing equipment like archers and artillery. The number of legions remained the same after the Punic War.
 * 80,000 Legionaries
 * 30,000 Auxiliaries
 * Economy: Gold and silver coins are minted around the Republic, with a new coin minted for every new Consul.
 * Demographics (I probably have to modify some cities since I don't have syracuse anymore)
 * Population: 8,000,000 (disputed)
 * Rome (Capital): 350,000
 * Neapolis: 250,000
 * Caralis: 200,000
 * Atvasium: 100,000 (disputed)
 * Other cities: 3,000,000
 * Rural areas: 4,100,000
 * Ethnicity: Remaining latins in the region are exceptionally rare over the past centuries and were held in high regard within the tribal population, sometimes ruling as the regional nobility class. Latin language in the region itself is extinct but names and ethnicity still lives on in pockets. Explanation for nobility is that Latins were employed in elite units that were held in high regard and retired veterans commonly built a nobility status. They were absorbed into the Roman identity, but they make up a lot of the ruling class since their overthrow of the monarchy.
 * 42% Roman, 50% Atlasii (disputed), 8% other.
 * Religion: 80% Cult of Romulus, 20% Other
 * Literacy rate: 20%
 * Events
 * Roman Colonization of Southern Gaul (163 BC) : As Italy began to see effects of overpopulation growth, the Romans looked for more lands nearby to try to incorporate.They began to see desire of a popular port in the western mediterranean called Nimer in Gaul. The Romans sent 2 legions to diplomatically pressure the port into joining Rome, thus giving Romans a casus belli for claim of Southern Gaul to also connect with its colony in Carcaros. In 159 BC, the Romans sent 6 legions into Southern France to secure territory, using tribes friendly with Rome to lead the incursion, despite possible cries of protest from more hostile tribes in Southern Gaul.
 * (continued) Incursion onto Carcaros (since 177 BC): Tensions between the colonists of Rome and natives of Carcaros had reached a boiling point when Roman settlers attacked a band of Carcaros that tresspassed onto their territory. Fearing an invasion force, Rufio Gallus sent several legions into Iberia to take Carcalonar.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Gaul: We will annex your southern portion.
 * Carcaros: We would like to request that you should join us, lest you want to be finished off by neighbors.
