Roman Empire

 * Government: Imperial Dynasty: Neo-Claudian. Absolute Monarchy.
 * Ruler (Emperor):
 * Nera Claudia (445 - 476)
 * Sportacus (476 - 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: ~110 Million. 20% Latin, 15% Greek, 10% Celtic, 15% German, 5% Persian, 35% Other.
 * Religion: Pagan 5%, Christian 90%, Other 5%.
 * 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: 200,000+. 25 Legions, 6000 men each (150,000). 30 Auxiliary legions, 4000 men each (120,000), mercenaries/pioneers: 10,000.
 * Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Roman Expedition (280 to 495): Between 480 to 494, Emperor Sportacus has led full conquest of the Afasevos in order to keep relevance next to his late aunt, whom past away in 476. It wasn't until the year of 494 when the mysterious plague has popped up around the eastern regions. The plague has wiped out the half of legions in the region, as they are hit the hardest. 6 of the 12 legions remained.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Afasevo: We would like all your tribes to join in our Empire. There are plenty of riches to behold.
 * Therivingi: We ask again to join us as Foederati, and as mercenaries to help replace our lost legions. It's not originally your land, so if you want to live here we need to set down a few rules.
 * Events:
 * The First Plague: Of this year, Rome's population has reached approxamitely 125 million when the plague has started in 494, the deadliness  of the plague has wiped out 15 million people this turn (last 5 million next turn once plague effects wear off). However, it won't be until the year of 504 when the plague has peaked out and has mostly weared off. But the Plague has wiped out over 50% of Rome's standing army, forcing local powerful (and perhaps colonial) families to hire mercenaries to protect their territories.
 * The Five Heirs: With Sportacus' marriage to the women of 3-5 different families, he had produced 5 children by the year of 495. 5 heirs born in robes of different colors; one in Red, one in Purple, one in Blue, one in White, and one in Green. All whos origins lie within the now legendary Neo-Claudian Dynasty. They are young, however, they are given to 5 guardians before the year of 500 to be taught how to fight and rule. However, when the plague spreads, Rome became unstable. And the 5 guardians, who were given a role in the destiny of the 5 heirs, has been given the fate of the Empire on their hands, as Sportacus has been growing old as well.
 * Rise of Christianity: The deadly plague in cities has forced most of the Christian population to flee the cities to the countryside, spreading their religion among the remaining pagans (who were mostly wiped out from the plague earlier, reducing their population from less than 20% to around 5%), although sometimes fleeing Christians were also the cause of the plague's spread to areas of Pagans and other religions.
