Roman Empire

 * Government: Imperial Dynasty: Neo-Claudian. Absolute Monarchy.
 * Ruler (Emperor):
 * Sportacus (476 - 502)
 * 5 Guardians Council (502 - 509)
 * Romulus II (509 - 510)
 * 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: ~105 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: 330,000+. 30 Legions, 6000 men each (180,000). 30 Auxiliary legions, 4000 men each (120,000), mercenaries/pioneers: 30,000.
 * Wars and Conflicts: 
 * Roman Civil War: 
 * 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 5 Sectors: In order to combat the plague effectively, Sportacus created 5 major sectors of the Empire and gave them to each guardian to help maintain order easier. (see Civil War section)
 * The Plague: The plague has left the colossal Roman Empire changed for the worse. While its size is well maintained for external threats, it does not contain a disaster as devastating as this. As the Plague ends in Rome in 504, 5 million more people has died. Leaving the population of Rome on the decline starting with 105 Million people.
 * Civil War and Finale: As mentioned in the plague event, the devastated Roman Empire was not able to recover as well due to its colossal size. When Sportacus died choking on an apple in 502, the 5 guardians (as the 5 heirs are not yet of good age), decided upon themselves to maintain order in the Empire through a council, although the effort to maintain order conflicted with each guardian's agenda and the Empire quickly fell into a civil war in 504 shortly after the plague left. After fighing for roughly 5 years, the Empire was left between 2 Guardians, Augustus Romulus Augustus (yes Augustus twice) of the West (controlling Southern Rome, West, and North) and Julius Remus Augustus in the East (Central and Eastern), the both sides met in the Battle of Teutoberg Forest. Where Romulus successfully ambushed and killed Julius Remus. Romulus declared himself Emperor as Romulus II after marching through Constantinople. Leaving the 5 heirs to govern (despite their age) their respective sectors. However, Romulus II suddenly contracted the plague and shortly died after, being the last known major victim of the plague in Rome. The Senate (whatevers left of it after centuries) voted to officially divide out the Empire into 5 pieces with the 5 brothers. Rome of the West (Aka Red Rome, its official colors, or officially Roma Occidental), Rome of the North (Aka Green Rome, for its diverse and vast untamed forests that was tamed by them, or officially Roma Borealis), Rome of the South (Aka Blue Rome, for its formidable navy, officially Roma Australis.), Rome of the Middle (aka Purple Rome, for its royal colors, officially Roma Centrum), and Rome of the East (aka White/Grey Rome, lighter colors absorb heat less and blends in a little, officially Roma Oriental). Finally ending a united Roman Empire, and left the hands of fate to its successors
 * Adoption of Crossbow: The new invention of the Crossbow has quickly spread throughout the Empire during the Civil War. Since entire legions were devastated and crippled the Roman forces, crossbows are utilized to fill in some gaps within archery as it allows a quick field of men with little training. The deaths in the Roman Army did also left a surplus of supplies and equipment, so there is little decline in that asides from some equipment being used to try to protect against bolts of the new crossbows.
 * 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.
 * Birth of Legate Arturia (or King/Queen Arturia depending): On 520 CE, a Great Hero may have been birthed. Her name is Arturia, being Celtic in origin but born in the Western Roman Empire. She may grow up to become a great hero that leads legions, or a freedom fighter. Either way, she may become the protector of Britannia.
