Roman Empire

 * Government: Imperial Dynasty. Absolute Monarchy.
 * Ruler (Emperor):
 * Valentinian III (423 - 445)
 * Nera Claudia (445 - 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: ~95 Million. 20% Latin, 15% Greek, 10% Celtic, 15% German, 5% Persian, 35% Other.
 * Religion: Pagan 20% (mostly countryside), Christian 60% (mostly cities), Other 20% (cities/countryside).
 * Military: NOTE: THE NEW TERRITORY BOLSTERED NUMBERS AND PROVIDED NEW MANPOWER. 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: 400,000+. 45 Legions, 6000 men each (270,000). 30 Auxiliary legions, 4000 men each (80,000), mercenaries/pioneers: 10,000.
 * Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Roman Expedition (280 to present): The expedition is slowing down to a halt as most of the Roman legions are pulling out of the region. However, specialized auxiliary forces on horseback called Cataphracts (idea borrowed from Bactrians and Persians) are set up to maintain order in the region with quick responses. 5 new legions are raised as well among the local populace to help manage the cities. Total of 12 legions are stationed in areas between Persia and Bactria. Along with a dozen more auxiliary cavalry forces. Consolidation is underway.
 * Umoric/Daevite invasion (?? to present): Total of 250,000 size force (half of the Empire's standing forces) is now responding Romans do what they do best, they adopt new techniques and ideas, importing the cavalries from the east in order to counter and rapidly respond to the Umors. The Romans counterattacks by pushing through Caucasia in order to divert the Daevites away from the main front in order for the Roman troops to push towards Lutsk much more easily. The Roman Empress challenges the Daevite leader to a duel of fates.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Betmant tribes: We attempt to appeal to the tribes to join us as an autonomous province in promise of riches and "modernization". But in exchange, we'll need your hand to lend us some forces on horses.
 * Scythia: The Daevites are pushing East, I suggest for you to join us as a RAR in order to provide protection and prevent further spread of Umors.
 * Everyone in Germania: Considering Daevites are a threat and you are migrating into our Empire anyway. We shall absorb your lands to make a better front and fortify against the oncoming invaders, already?
 * Umors/Daevite Empire: If we win, you will leave "Europe" (we will absorb your conquests and you will become Ukraine + RAR as you said okay/agreed with earlier).
 * ALL ROMAN AUTONOMOUS PROVINCES: If you wish to stay and fight, you can. But I reccommend to pack up most of your valuables and travel deeper into the Empire. Any forces  you can muster to stay and help push back to Umors will be appreciated. After all, it is me standing in between them and the Mediterranean.
 * Events:
 * Tibetan RAR: An attempt at organization of an autonomous province in order to "civilize" the Proto-tibetan tribes is made.
 * Absorbing the Afasevo, Germanians: After taking time to consolidate territory over the years following the Bactrian War, the Romans wish to absorb the Afasevo and Germanian tribes to the north in rumors of resources and good horses that may work for the war against the Umors along with a combined effort (since Daevites are attacking, we could have a good say for this).
 * THE SPATHA: By the 400s, the Spatha (a longer version of the Gladius) was common amongst the bodyguards of Rome. However, as the Romans were continously on mountainous terrain, along with dense forrests which tall grasses requires cutting. The Spatha was adopted into regular Roman legions, favored for its longer range.
 * Nera Claudia: One girl, whos original name was lost to history, from a Roman province in Gaul was amazed at the Roman soldiers marching through her village with the occasional recruitment wagon, her family was one of the poorer ones. She was the eldest of 3 sisters, no brothers, she was born in 410. Upon hearing that there was a war to the east against the Daevites, a people that may seriously threaten her home, she disguised herself as a male to join up the legions, her voice was deeper than most women, so she may have a chance. Successfully fooling the recruiters with her deep voice. She was assigned to the Thirteenth Legion and was trained for about a year before being set to the front in early 430s. She constantly isolates herself and separates from the legions during times such as bathes. However, her legion was separate from the rest of the army in the dense forrests of Germania, and was ambushed by Daevite patrols. Her cohort almost broke, but her leadership skills were duly noted when she took charge of survivors and successfully rescued whats left of the legion and escaped. She later rose through the ranks much quicker than anyone would expect, probably because of Thirteenth Legion's bad luck of getting ambushed almost every year, and survivors are constantly promoted. She became a Legatus, the leader of the Ninth Legion in 439. In 440, however, she was discovered to be female after a soldier had walked in on her bathing in a secluded area. It wasn't until Emperor Valentinian III, who took notice of her and fell in love (he never had a wife despite being 21, and he wasn't that interested in romance until he met her). He offered her marriage to save from her execution, she agreed and took on the royal name of Nera Claudia. 5 years later, Valentinian III dies for unknown reasons and without a successor. Before anyone could take over, Nera Claudia prevented this and strengthened her hold over the Empire by executing anyone who challenged her position. With her rule intact, she turned to challenge the Daevite leader to a duel of fates.
