Roman Republic

 * Government:
 * Consuls:
 * (56) Brutus Maximus Fulso (152 BC to 140 BC)
 * (57) Orbanus Victus (140 BC to 136 BC)
 * (58) Romali Illeniumus (136 BC to 130 BC)
 * (59) Gaulus Invictus Maximus (130 BC to 126 BC)
 * (60) Vetus Betum Bellus (126 BC to present)
 * Policies:
 * Military: There is approximately 18 legions, each contains 5000 to 6000 legionaries each further divided into cohorts with 500 to 600 men each. There are about 10 auxiliary legions as well (3,000 each) also containing equipment like archers and artillery. The number of legions remained the same after the Punic War.
 * 95,000 Legionaries
 * 30,000 Auxiliaries
 * Economy: Gold and silver coins are minted around the Republic, with a new coin minted for every new Consul.
 * Demographics
 * Population: +9,000,000
 * Rome (Capital): 150,000
 * Neapolis: 50,000
 * Caralis: 20,000
 * Atvasium: 100,000 (indirect)
 * Other cities: 1,180,000
 * Rural areas: 7,500,000
 * Ethnicity: Remaining latins in the region are exceptionally rare over the past centuries and were held in high regard within the tribal population, sometimes ruling as the regional nobility class. Latin language in the region itself is extinct but names and ethnicity still lives on in pockets. Explanation for nobility is that Latins were employed in elite units that were held in high regard and retired veterans commonly built a nobility status. They were absorbed into the Roman identity, but they make up a lot of the ruling class since their overthrow of the monarchy.
 * 42% Roman, 50% Atlasii (disputed), 8% other.
 * Religion: 80% Cult of Romulus, 20% Other
 * Literacy rate: 15%
 * Events
 * Roman Colonization of South Western Gaul (149 BC) : Seeing the dangers of Roman exclaves, 4 Roman legions of the original 6 in Southern Gaul were dispatched westward to try to connect the exclave with the rest of the mainland
 * (First?) Roman-Hellenic War (140 BC): Roman Consul Orbanus Victus had not forgotten the Hellenic take over of Sicily. He had read in history books that the issue of the takeover was largely dropped since it was overshadowed by other issues at the time. However, the effects of the takeover had been noticeable in an economic stance. Willing to get revenge for the fall of Sicily, the Romans dispatched 9 legions (~50,000 men) and 6 Auxiliary Legions (~18,000 men) into the Aegean mainland. Seeing Spartans has proposed a possible alliance with Aegeans and were likely to join the war on their side. So the Romans sent a blockade around the peninsula. The Romans started an invasion of Epirus via navy. During the "Battle of Epirus", the Romans has lost 1 legion (6,000 men) to the Aegean army (hopilites?). But young general Vetus Betum Bellus quickly figured a new flanking strategy against the Greeks. The Battle of Epirus has won in 139 BC, allowing Roman occupation of most of the region. But the war is not over yet. In 137 BC, the Romans sent 3 legions to Macedonia for a takeover, followed by a campaign southward from Epirus (such as Thessaly and Central Greece) to reach the Spartan borders in 133 BC. In 130 BC, the Romans sent 5 legions to Thrace after securing central Greece (and other lands). The Romans also used part of the blockade of Sparta to blockade the sea between modern Greece and Anatolia to try to cut of the Aegeans.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Seleucids: We would like to form a co-operative alliance, seeing your history with the Aegeans. We shall agree for you to only take lands no further into Anatolia.
 * Gaul: Any friendly tribes are welcome to join us peacefully, but we shall take South-Western Gaul to connect our realms.
 * Sparta: We wish for you to stay out of this war.
 * Aegeans: We demand surrender and hand over of all Balkan lands and Sicily.
 * Aegeans: We demand surrender and hand over of all Balkan lands and Sicily.
