Republic of Byzantium (note italics is you don't know in gameplay, also im kind of getting myself screwed up by strength so)
 * Military:
 * Technology:
 * Project Constantine [Lengthy process of replacing men with drones, say around 20 years estimate]: A full term plan to replace human soldiers with mostly drones, but it is a lengthy process since industrial levels for them aren't that as good. This is what they've wanted, a full swarm of drones. Factories of those drones are built at Callipolis, Adrianopolis and Constantinopolis mostly, with one of the factories are capable of getting an experimental small-scaled 3D printer facility now only printing at least few dozen as tests. Research is also prioritised for the drone sector but not so much compared for lasers and larger equipment.
 * Industry: Byzantium's military industry on most of the equipment is still being built by automated robots which their production rate is quite as fast but still slow when it comes to putting all weapons into a land drone or an aerial drone. Most came here for salary if they were unemployed and this is to benefit economy and reduce unemployment for citizens in Byzantium, this include the range of repairing equipment (has the most amount of income) to manual labour on production (probably low but sufficient). After a decision was passed, Byzantium has started expanding the industry by building a small scaled 3D printing facility at one military factory. This is an experiment to make sure it functions and produces properly however if it is successful by the end of the year, it could produce at least ~1k more per year. It's speed is nearly as slow but their plans is to intend improve the system and make it as fast as possible without draining resources. Much of land factories are currently in Chalkedon, as well with the aerial ones but navy ones are both in Chalkedon and Thraki.
 * Summary for Military:
 * Personnel / Byzantine Army (VS): In preparation of Operation Lacerta, they began resortfully increasing their numbers higher than 0.02% (probably the "enough military part") to mobilise, but however in a plan for Project Constantine they plan to slowly replace men with drones to avoid getting further casualities given. It goes from 372,000 to 430,000 men for the active personnel.
 * Land / Legion / Legeon: At least 39,000 robot troops are in service. For tanks, 1,500 railgun tanks and 1000 laser tanks are currently in the Legion itself. For artillery, around 220 are known to be in the Byzantine Army and are near fast at loading and can shoot at least 450 shells into the air within 10 minutes. Still, there are a lot of EMP grenades stocked and stored at military bases at Chalkedon at numbers of 530 in total and producing more would take a long time but industrial capacity is increasing to do so as third priority. Drones are also in use and their ambition is to increase their numbers for a future attack but takes a long process since they are way far behind, with light attack drones number around 1,900 and medium attack numbering at 130 and are reserved as they are quite more valuable.
 * Navy / Classis / Naftikon: Navy is still operated as usual, approximiately around 5,500 are in service with most ships are part automated and operated by crew but as imperiaism grows, the theme of Chalkedon is planning to expand their military onto navy as well but is not a top priority. 25 military ships (can hold 300 soldiers) and 140 transport ships (they are a bit smaller than their older counterpart and can hold only 500 each) are in the fleet to this day.
 * Air Force / Caelum / Aeroporia: Replaced by mostly drones for defence, however there were automated and self-driving aircraft in presence at a majority but let alone only few men are in operating in those aircraft if self-driving or automation of attacking being malfunctioned. Around 800 air drones exist and are reserved while the active ones are aircraft numbering at 102, with it mostly doing most of the job than the drones for now and is currently being decommissioned or put away into reserves as they begin to use air drones quite more often than aircraft as part of Project Constantine.
 * Conflicts (Type of Conflict/Intervention/Casus Belli; Region; Duration)
 * Operation Lacerta: (for now you don't know but will change)
 * Government:
 * Political Parties:
 * Byzantine Revivalism:
 * The Church Enforcement:
 * Project Theodora:
 * Regions: The regions of Byzantium are basically split into themes.
 * Theme of Chalkedon: Core region of Byzantium and is in absolute control by the President of Byzantium and the government although a governor exists here. The region itself is closed away from immigration due to a huge progress of the so called Hellenisation progress and an ideology of purity is growing. The region is now designated for huge industrial purposes, especially in military as they are planning for the worst.
 * Imperial and Pious City of Constantinopolis: Population goes from 15.72 million to 16.01 million. It is the Imperial Capital of Byzantium and the Theme of Chalkedon. Tourism grows but it isn't used to be as much as modern day has, but it could sure do a huge income benefit if they attract enough tourists. Military industry continues to grow at the outer regions of Constantinopolis but businesses and services began to solidify and aimed as goal. In terms of that, population boom is now passed as law to boost their economy. At least one couple must have three children by the age of 40 and will start to take effect by next year and overpopulation will be covered up without any exceptions with excuses saying it is a normal thing.
 * Callipolis: Population goes from 0.22 million to 0.38 million.
 * Adrianopolis: Population goes from 0.49 million to 0.58 million
 * Autonomous Theme of Thraki: An annexed region of what's left of Thrace and is autonomous to reduce further rebellions until order is restored. The region itself is currently being rebuilt, although a minority of Turks and Romani exists here, they were tolerated for this year.
 * Alexandroupolis: Capital of the Autonomous Theme of Thraki.
 * Xanthi: a
 * Philippi/Drama: a
 * Cavallopolis:
 * Serres: Population grows from 0.19 million to 0.22 million and is a border town. New fortifications are built around it in case of an invasion by the western neighbour and is designated as an agricultural city but military industry is built in the city itself just like Callipolis when it comes to unemployment growth.
 * Economy: GDP goes from 13,850 USD to 14,790 USD ($0.292 trillion in overall; nominal and PPP is likely to be ~$0.680 trillion). Industrial growth continues to expand exponentially as military factories are built, mostly in towns but major cities such as Constantinopolis has a large and modern facility, especially when a growth of 3D printing has started on Byzantium.
 * Demographics: Official language is Greek, however does not call themselves Roman like last time but otherwise have loaned Latin words entirely and the government enforces avoiding any other foreign words apart from Latin since Greece collapsed but any words before Greece collapsed is acceptable but anything after is not allowed and the law is still carried by Byzantium to this day. Population is currently 19,748,244 this year (an extra ~1.12 million is from the integrated Thrace) and the largest city is Constantinopolis. Life expectancy is in average 88.54 years.
 * Culture: The heavily imposed Hellenisation is starting to finish it's marks as assimilation is now proven to be successful and most Turks have being assimilated. Later that year, Byzantine Revivalism is shifting the existing Greek culture at Chalkedon towards Roman as a plan to restore the ancient culture and modern Greek combined but would take at least next few years or so to proclaim the artifically-made Greco-Roman.
 * Religion: Continued conversion of Muslims continue, more children are being taught with Christianity through television/holographs even more in Chalkedon but the irreligious population grows as Muslims do not want to get in their way of being forcibly converted, as a result more Muslim people are becoming irreligious than what propaganda has being sending in the Theme of Chalkedon. The Byzantine Republic does not care on irreligious people and are considered tolerated. By the end of the year, 18.39% of the population is Sunni, 70.81% is Orthodox and 10.89% are irreligious.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Persia: Accept alliance
 * Israel: K for that railgun trade
 * Greece in general: Cut ties with them (Greece/Attica, "Hellenic Macedonia" and North Epirus; they are "Greek" according to Byzantium's point of view of former Greece) except Aen's country (GRPAE) as they want to spare GRPAE for now
