Roman Empire

 * Government: Imperial Dynasty. Absolute Monarchy.
 * Ruler (Emperor): Diocletian (284 CE - 305 CE), Constantine (306 CE - Present)
 * Economy: Roman coinage. Based around trade regarding farming, fishing, mining, and various other things. Major hubs around the Empire help provides for this. being at peace for centuries has allowed the Romans to slowly build their vast treasury (although inflation is also a problem).
 * Capital: Rome
 * Demographics:
 * Population: ~75 Million. 25% Latin, 20% Greek, 15% Celtic, 15% German, 25% Other.
 * Religion: Pagan 30% (mostly cities), Christian 55% (mostly countryside), Other 15% (cities/countryside).
 * Military: The Roman military boasts one of the largest and most efficient militaries in history. The library of Alexandria never burned down, allowing the Romans to learn and copy important military knowledge that would've been lost. Their armor is heavy, and almost impenetrable at close range, their formations (especially fast cavalry through selective breeding, 500 per legion) has allowed them to keep up with any army. Their vast population, roughly half of which are men and a large percentage of which is fit for service, allows their numbers to be filled quickly. Consolidation and border disputes with local tribes in the past still allowed veterans to be produced despite being relatively at peace for centuries. PIONEERS are a new breed of Roman troops, mostly from autononmous regions that came into the empire proper, these are survivalists and adventurers from rough travels outside of the Empire that joined Roman military and separated from the rest of the pack due to their more loose nature. They mainly guard caravans and other merchants, but they are loose and ragtag enough to infiltrate enemy lines.
 * Soldiers: STANDING: 330,000+. 40 Legions, 6000 men each (240,000). 20 Auxiliary legions, 4000 men each (80,000), mercenaries/pioneers: 10,000.
 * Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Roman Expedition (280 to present): After the exchange of land. Rome prepares for its next task of invading Scythia by turn 325-350 (pretty much spending several decades consolidating). Rome prepares 5 new legions to be trained in the newly acquired territory, to help inspire loyalty in the population and propaganda value of having legions representing them. They spend this interval consolidating territory. They sent 10 legions and 5 Auxilliary units (total 80,000), not including allies, to the Northern Persian territory in preparation, adding onto the existing 5 new "persian" legions there.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Gerrha We have offered you Mari as an alternative to losing Nineveh, but it was denied. Us losing Nineveh, with Shapurids and you exchanging land for it and several other cities, were enough as you had originally asked for. How about this; You can commit troops with us, but you will need to be attached us for the duration. In exchange; we promise to not attack you within 200 years but you'll need to promise the same as this would be considered trust.
 * Scythia: We wish for your southern territories in our journey Eastward. Please do so, to avoid complications.
 * Frisia: Really? Please ask next time.
 * Events:
 * Absorbing irminonics (Munichians) and Esceosians: Encouraged by their autonomous regions' encouragement local tribes into the Empire. The Romans assist the Westrians in territorial expansion into Irminonics and Esceoians if they want.
 * Succession crisis: Following the death of Diocletian, he was left with no heirs. After a brief (and intense) debate, the successor was chosen to be Constantine.
