Rumas, officially called Kingdom of Rumas is a nation situated in Italy and South France (Occitania) (this will change over time as this is a rough concept). It is a highly developed nation, plays a role in the Congress of Rome and United Nations.

The Germanic Rumas was formed at the 6th century, made by an Ostrogoth who refuses to be part of the Ostrogothic Kingdom and sets up his own nation, then it conquers Italy and calls it Rumas. The Carolingian Empire tries to conquer Rumas, splitting Rumas again to Sicily or Sardinia. It plays a role of the First Crusade during 1002, taking over Tunis (Carthage). It's also responsible to have a pope inside the nation without being a theocracy.

Dark Ages
Main articles: The Dark Ages (Rumas) and Carolingian Period (Rumas)

During a rebellion in 513, a group of poor people led by a militia attacked the Ostrogoths while the Byzantine Empire invades the Ostrogoths, due to poor defence in North Italy, they gain their independence by 529 after the Ostrogoths are exhausted from the war with lack of soldiers to fend off the rebellion. The militant is named Alaric who died in 529, converted to Chalcedonian CHristianity during his death, his son was Arian and Arianism took over Rumas until he converted to his father's religion in 531.

Provinces
Rumas is divided up to 30 administrative regions and 8 city regions (municipality?). Each is led by a Governor of the Region (for administrative regions). This includes (wip since map isn't finished)

Laws
It does not have any laws of other ideas, instead they rely on their own laws. The country should only allow permament residents and citizens to speak Ruman, many language schools have being closed, foreigners (excl. tourists) are forced to speak Ruman or get fined for 200 fraci.

Elections
It may seem to have little or no election to the head of state, but there is an election on regional areas of Rumas.

Foreign Relations
Rumas had maintained some relations to fascist governments, it still maintains relations with almost all of the countries (except Muslim ones as they think Rumas is a terrorist organisation) and 30 embassies established in foreign nations at a slow rate. Some nations terminated the diplomatic relations with Rumas because they have being designated as a terrorist organisation or fearing that they will take over the world.

It is part of the Pact of Christiania (also known as the Pact of Oslo or the Alliance of Autocratic Nations [AAN] since it has fascist totalitarian nations). It's members are the Norse Kingdom, Rumas, Kingdom of Arabia, Germany (until fall of Third Reich), Kingdom of Hungary (until 1954), Russia and some Asian nations (not described) (unconfirmed), it's also the leader of this. Also the one who controls the United Nations (The Global Council of Earth [GCE]) and founding member but it lost control after the fall of fascism with most nations (but some) are becoming democratic and 3/4 are kingdoms.

Religion
While a document claims "... The Ruman government has no association with any religion and may be allow to practice religion.", it wouldn't be that secular when it comes to a foreign religion such as Islam (Sunni and Shia), Hinduism and all of these other than Catholic. It banned religious practices on Islam in 1987 AD as a fear that it would create Eurabia, while terrorism and unstability arises, refuge and immigration comes to Europe, it also had public executions if practicing religion other than Catholicism. Religious schools were closed to drift it's religious status away.

In 2005 AD, houses inhabited by religious foreigners were demolished in Rome (which is called Rumas). This angers most of the Jewish and Muslim population and caused a massive riot in Rome. In Pavia and Salona (a colony), protests came along as well. Around 2006 AD, a small group created a neopagan faith on Romans.

Education
Education is usually only available to males as they want to know basic things, such as writing and so on. However, females can join if they have a large form to sign. However, very poor people can't afford to join since they require money to pay (most of them were Muslim and some are Rumans) this results a literacy of males about 93.5% and females around 45%, average is 69.25%.

Poor people usually resign at ages 9-10 to learn writing. Rest can move on to learn mathematics, science, history and subjects.

Music
Pop, punk, rock and any kinds of genre other than instrumental, baroque, medieval and classical ones are banned. They enjoy music from large orchestras and are considered as 'bands' in their language, because they are weird and more interested to make tourism around their own music.

Media
Media is usually propaganda, mainly praising Rumas and it's authoritarian leader. Everyone can listen to television, radio and all that in foreign languages as long it does not contain entertainment.

Sport
Sport is prohibited in Rumas and only running is sport according to everyone. It never attended in the Olympics. Usually anyone who watches sports on television and all of that will be fined for around 800 fraci (608 USD?).

Punishments and Executions
Most reasons about execution is treason, practising foreign religions or being homosexual. It is also responisble amputating hands when it comes to stealing, a year prison when making mistakes on the press even the tiniest mistake could make a worth of a year prison, breaking contracts and finally becoming a slave when someone becomes bankrupt.

The UN claims (which is actually true) that Rumas is violating human rights as other followers, homosexuals and poor people were innocent. The government of Rumas ignored the warning to abolish execution laws.
