Roman Empire

 * Government: Imperial Dynasty. Absolute Monarchy.
 * Ruler (Emperor): Aurelian (270 CE - 284 CE), Diocletian (284 CE - 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: ~75 Million. 25% Latin, 20% Greek, 15% Celtic, 15% German, 25% Other.
 * Religion: Pagan 30% (mostly cities), Christian 55% (mostly countryside), Other 15% (cities/countryside).
 * Military: 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: 300,000+. 35 Legions, 6000 men each (210,000). 20 Auxiliary legions, 4000 men each (80,000), mercenaries/pioneers: 10,000.
 * Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Roman Expedition (280 to present): During the closing of a century, Emperor Aurelian gathered allies for the conquest of Shurapids, the new target from Arashena. The emperor calls for complete conquest, which is to be completed between 325-350CE, if not EARLIER. The first goal is to get to the Shurapid capital of Yzid? The process of integration is slow as limited conflict is to be expected and pressure is used. The absorbtion of the entire empire at once may be dentrimental to stability, which is why the Emperor would like it slow. Sending 10 legions along with several auxiliary units  (80,000 men give or take) to PLAN to slowly take land, city by city, every year. RAR of Vedena, Agoustos, and Westria is expected to participate, along with allies that may tag along (so long as they give land to Rome). The death of Emperor Aurelian had slowed the process, but Emperor Diocletian is expected to pick up on it post 284.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Gerrha: Rome would like to develop a closer relationship to Gerrha. If possible you could join us as a autonomous region in exchange for future benefits of extra land over Persia.
 * Shapurids: your administration seems a little stretched. We would like your lands in Northern Persia and your tributary states. In exchange, goods from our conquests would pour directly to you and you will recieve compensation in some Bactrian land if we so get there
 * Events:
 * Absorbing irminonics (Munichians) and Esceosians: Encouraged by their autonomous regions' encouragement local tribes into the Empire. The Romans assist the Westrians in territorial expansion into Irminonics and Esceoians, giving land to the RAR along the way.
 * Border dispute with Shapurids (expedition)
