Rumas (EthanConquistador's AHOW)

''This page is about Rumas in Ethan's AHOW. For other uses, see Rumas (disambiguation).''

Rumas (ROO-mas) (Ruman: Rumae, Italian: Rumas/Ruma), officially called Kingdom of Rumas (Ruman: Rumae Kilvesche, Italian: Regno di 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 and plays a role in the Congress of Rome and United Nations.

The nation spans over most of the Italian peninsula as an unified Italian nation but entirely not based off Italian culture or at least it's a Germanic-Italian culture with modifications. The largest city is the capital itself, Rumas.

Kingdom of Rumas was formed by a band of Rumans from Germany and took over North Italy and then loses all of mainland Italy to only just Corsica. 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, with autonomy in just around at least 245 hectares and it still has autonomy and even created a small province to this day.

It fell under Hungarian personal union, and then united into the Ruman-Hungarian Empire and collapsed after having a struggle with administration across most of Middle East and Caucasus. Rumas lost most of North Italy (until Genoa) to HGE (including the Archduchy of Austria), and slowly being influenced by Germans. In the Fourteenth century, the Ruman conquest of Austria and Switzerland starts as the Ruman-Austrian War, where they have created a duchy named as the Ruman Kingdom of Austria. It then attacked Kingdom of France and slowly fell to the Holy German Empire, with the Siege of Rumas taking place, making Rumas surrender and the king is abdicated.

Rumas has created a colonial empire in 1455 CE, just after the English settled in the New World, they were used as their settlers to gain wealth and military on the Americas, also the first country to conquer a proper tribe called the 'Happy-Hungrians' (soon to be Happy Hungry Kingdom). The Renaissance has made Rumas more cultural than warfare but the traditions of warfare stays the same and a new era dawns in Rumas, resulting in a drastic art changes as well as science being prioritised.

The Karpateicid Dynasty inherited the Ruman Kingdom, which lasted for few decades until a succession war started. The succession war is where the Siaevintine pretender demands to overthrow a foreign dynasty out of Rumas, claiming Rumas should never be owned by any other foreign nation. The slave trade in the Americas grew as Rumas has colonised Africa to gain slaves and other nations as well to build plantations, which the colonial nations are fighting against the Pannonian dynasty and standing up with the pretender, it ended up with a victory against the Karpateicid dynasty.

The Ruman Empire gradually became powerful when the formation of the Pact of Constantinople is in place and ended up in a victory, effectively annexing Ancona and Ionia, Ancona was then reverted back to Illuccia in a separatist revolt in the early 18th century. The Iron Wolf Alliance was disbanded in Treaty of Euboea in 1673. The reforming of the government turns Rumas into a republic in 1709 after the overthrow of the king, then fell into a revolutionary empire in 1745 after a general Avgustine Franz Koldirligi took over as leader.

Etymology
The word Rumas deprives from the Ruman word Rumae which literally meant to be 'Ruman'. Rumae Kilvesche would've known as 'Ruman Kingdom'. It is also said that Rumae is deprived from Rome.

History
Main article: History of Rumas (Ethan's AHOW)

The Roman Empire
The city of Rumas (former: Rome) is founded by the legendary brothers, Romulus and Remus. Around 400 BCE, the Roman Kingdom invaded the Etruscans and formed the Roman Republic. The Italian peninsula was then engulfed by the Roman Republic through force and expansion and covered Italy. A Carthaginian general named as (name WIP but will behave like Hannibal) in 190 BCE attacked Rome through a long path in the 'Punic Wars' to reach Rome and failed despite that his soldiers were exhausted upon reaching there.

The city of Rome became a large trading centre and military quarters after the conquest of Macedonia. The city Aquileia serves as a port of the Roman Empire and a major centre of trading, until the early 5th century, the Ostrogoths, Burgundians and Vandals raid the province of Italia but never had a full control over it. The Ruman barbarians from Germania migrates towards The Kingdom of Ostrogoths in 418 CE led by the chief Alaric.

The sacking of Rome happens again and looted the remaining valuables from the destroyed Rome with them winning most of Italy until the south of Neapolis, which is owned by the East Roman Empire that soon to be Byzantium. However their lack of organisation led to the shatter and most of the Ostrogoths cause a conflict against Rumas for Italy.

Formation
The natural rivalry against the Ostrogoths and Byzantines led to a full conflict for around three centuries over the land, each century or half a century having an actual war. Rome is mostly razed with only of the 12% of the city having the classical buildings of Rome, Aquileia is mostly damaged by the Ostrogoths and Rumans and Italy was mainly a destroyed and razed piece of land until Rumas finally took over most of Italy.

Administrative divisions
The Ruman Kingdom is divided to at least 30 cohorts (koharte)/regions and is divided to provinces. The eight major cities/municipalities (Rome, Milan, Venice, Naples, Syracuse, Palermo, Genoa and Turin if dominating the Italian peninsula) are named as municipalities but have cohort rights than regular provinces and also can be capital of a cohort. The definition of the cohort has one more term in Ruman, which meant to be 'province' but the term for the Roman unit exists.

Colonies
The Ruman civilisation had a long expansionist history, ranging from the rise of the First Ruman Empire to colonial expansion. It colonised chunks of areas in the world, from the United States to the northernmost Western Australia by the 19th century. Most of the colonies were usually led by themselves but still in Rumas since the early 20th century, where most of America is now independent from their country.

Earlier versions of colonial Rumas can be seen here: 1580 CE

UEAL
Main article: United States (Ethan's AHOW) 

Most of the colonies in the region of the Thirteen Colonies merge into a union, including the Ruman colonies in the region, it was named as the "Union of East America", similar to the United States of today except only confined to modern East United States. Louisiana was still part of France until 1830, where UEA acquires it through a purchase, renaming themselves to "Union of East America and Louisiana, which makes it easy to attack HHK from both sides but were unsuccessful, they were only able to annex few parts of it.

The UEAL splits into at least seven regions, Texas, Louisiana, Matrikaou/Matrion, Podgatsko/New England, Sude/Lowlands, Lustrikion/Lustria/Southeast and Appalachia/East and which are split into states (not counting Matrikaou) which were based from colonial lands but some are created by UEAL.

Military
The Royal Ruman Armed Force is consisted of four divisions, divided to air, land (usually used for offensive attacks), defence and navy. It is under the command by the Ruman Emperor (currently name WIP) and the Defence Council of Rumas. The military spending is around at estimated $219.44 billion, nearly halfway against OTL United States and is around 4th largest of military spending in AHOW and around ~7-8% of the national GDP. The army has a strong force of almost a million, enough for large operations against a nation.

Statistics

 * Population: ~92,237,050

People
They claim to be descandant of the Romans which is false, but the Ruman government deny any claims to this. They seem to have Germanic origins since the Ostrogoths are Germanic.

Science and Technology
Since the 11th century, Rumas has changed science, they created plans and concepts but most were not used by Rumas until the 17th century. The emperor also supported some ideas that would strengthen Rumas' military and begins to prioritise science. They were able to provide such information about astronomy, yet changing how everything yet works.

It also played a role on inventing flight, theorised some particles, discovery of ancient creatures, creating more formulas (mathematics) and lasers. They also opened a university in Rumas since 1720 called The University of Lypse where it focuses on biology and Luepuseans to discover . Around 1822, natural selection, is purposed because of the fossils being dug in Rumas and comparing the bones to modern animals, yet is still being condemned in Rumas but gradually becomes almost accepted and remains a theory worldwide. This discovery was not made in 1822 but in approximiately 20 BCE, where a Roman mentioned, "The strange bones from the ground were found ..." but they purpose that theory.

During the authoritarian rule, Rumas had still continued refining their new technology. Today, Rumas had their first university still intact with it's architecture being remade to fit modern buildings, yet it was used for new purposes such as computers and programming, completely turning it into a place for the ones who are interested on more modern technology but also still accepts other parts such as biology.

Transport
The railway network connected through major cities and towns, there are also commuter rails which are only restricted to major municipalities and some major cities. The Ruman Railways maintains the railways around the Ruman territory itself, running most of the national railways except communal

Around 39 main airports (219 with minor ones and non-paved) exist in Rumas, including the largest and busiest airport called the Rumas 'Phirikschen' Airport. Named after a notable general during battle of Abraia in 1751 and leading the first units of the Skoldenengire (lit. thunderous/charging shield in Ruman), it is considered as the main hub of at least three airlines and the largest is supposed to be the Ladizian Airlines.

Demographics
Main article: Demographics of Rumas

The demographics are said to be having a high population of estimated 154,000,000 people and is still growing. It is said to be rising due to increased fertility and a program set up in Rumas to gain more children which meant to increase manpower. The eight municipalities are the most populous than any other territory with Rumas having around 4,980,000 people for the entire municipality.

The fertility rate is around 2.9 children per couple in average and is stabilising to 2.5, however the program is said to be run until the end of the 21st century where it will stagnant, the human population will drastically increase by the end of the 21st century but ends in some point, but the Luepuseans will still outrun humans in their territory.

Ethnic Groups
WIP

Education
The Ruman education system isn't that compulsory at the beginning, but after 5 years, school becomes compulsory, between 5-14. The system is similar to Italy's education system but it's modified.

Religion
The Ruman religious status is officially secular but Catholicism accounts for 79% of the population. Muslim population is only around 0.7% of the population, and is subject to rise by the end of 2020s to the project 2.5% due to their high fertility rates than Christianity at that time. The minority of Protestants which makes up 0.2% are mostly Summic immigrants which they are desperate for better jobs, meaning East Europe is poorer when communism was abolished in those satellite states.

The 9.4% of them don't believe in god based from a census in 2010, meaning that they are either agnostic, atheist or irreligious. The rest is either consisted of pagans, Eastern Orthodoxy or other religions such as Judaism, which has at least 190,000 followers. It is also known that there are 'human hideouts' connected underground and some were migrants crossing across North Africa. They believe in the 'Galopox', a so called daemonic god that basically is voodoo with chaos and daemons. The 2007 estimate shows that only 29,000 worship the Galopox and by 2015, the migrant crisis rose the adherents to 494,000 whom 280,000 were migrants.

Strange though, the ancient Ruman pagan (basically mix of Germanic and parts of Hellenism) religion believes that the 'End of Times' may come when daemons gain enough power (usually because of the so called magic in human bodies) to summon and create a huge army to ravage the world (or the Local Group in recent studies). There is lack of evidence to support this claim of human magic in recent studies but daemons are commonly being seen through a portal or the warp left by ancient technology before the Luepuseans even created civilisation with recent studies.

It is also home to the Holy See, the command of Catholicism. It is usually mistaken as 'the Vatican', the autonomous state in Rumas.

Languages

Media
Main article: Media of Rumas

Rumas started broadcasting radios since 1899. They were broadcasted throughout only in the capital city of Rumas and the rest of it wasn't heard until 1923, the media department in Rumas establishes a station that is used for propaganda and later expanded and created more of it. There is around 23 radios that are purely propaganda, mainly stationed in the capital city, major municipalities and some major cities.

The Ruman media is strict, almost similar with DPRK (North Korea) except they do it in a different way. Films were usually banned made by foreign media, setting in Rumas' controlled territory and it's sites, except their own media, where they are not banned and is only used for propaganda, in some occasions they allow some documentaries set in Rumas as long they follow their 'rules' such as not showing anything that Rumas lost any of the historical wars or discriminating the Ruman emperors, etc.

The press freedom is often limited. The press requires praising the emperor, the party and so on, however they provide some freedom in some places.

All of the television and radio is restricted to Rumas and some nationalist/fascist nations. The foreign radio stations and television are often limited due to the attempts to jam anything from television to radio and only allows Ruman ones.

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.

For those who want to travel to Rumas might reconsider their travel.

Although Rumas have landmarks such as the Colosseum, the canals of Venice and the old Italian traditions, it is also advised to follow the regime of Rumas (the Emperor of Rumas), anyone who insults the country, people and the emperor will be sentenced to death, a year imprisonment or lifetime imprisonment.
