Roman Republic

 * Government:
 * Consuls:
 * (49) Gaius Creliores Beto (203 BC to 196 BC)
 * (50) Cato Felix Maxim(196 BC to 188 BC)
 * (51) Lucius Salernus Acadius (188 to 178 BC)
 * (52) Rufio Gallus (178 BC to present)
 * Policies: Seeing as Rome basically controls all relevant land of Atlas, the declared annexation of Atlas and the Punic War coming to an end after many decades of warfare. Following the annexation of Atlas, Atlasii became the majority of the Empire. It is dangerous but assimilation is well underway so long as Atlas populous were treated well, according to the Romans.
 * Military: There is approximately 15 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.
 * 80,000 Legionaries
 * 30,000 Auxiliaries
 * Economy: Gold and silver coins are minted around the Republic, with a new coin minted for every new Consul.
 * Demographics (I probably have to modify some cities since I don't have syracuse anymore)
 * Population: 8,000,000
 * Rome (Capital): 350,000
 * Neapolis: 250,000
 * Caralis: 200,000
 * Atvasium: 100,000
 * Other cities: 3,000,000
 * Rural areas: 4,100,000
 * 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, 8% other.
 * Religion: 80% Cult of Romulus, 20% Other
 * Literacy rate: 20%
 * Events
 * Annexation of Baleria (187 BC): Hearing rumors of war on the resource rich Iberan peninsula, the Romans sent an expedition to the west in 190 BC. Rufio Gallus (the leader of the expedition of the time) became the first official Roman to set foot on the Balerian Isles. Unbeknownst to him, the island was populated at the time. After an encounter with the Balerian locals, who did not take too kindly to Romans, they decided to leave to set sail further westward. When the Romans left the island, they were attacked by pirates off the coast of Baleria. Rufio Gallus, who was one of the 12 survivors, managed to land off the North African coast in 188 BC after roughly 2 years of exploration and survival. Rufio Gallus (now as part of a survivor group of 6) told their stories that they were attacked by Balerians (Balerian Pirates, not technically local Balerians but Gallus doesn't know that.) off the coast. Angered by this, the Romans sent 3 legions to the island, and demanded the populace to submit. Realizing that rumors of more land were further west. the Romans realized that they needed the islands and decided to try to annex it. Rufio Gallus retired to politics in 186 BC, becoming consul 8 years later.
 * Incursion onto Carcaros (177 BC): Expeditions to Iberian peninsula went on for another decade. Upon election of Rufio Gallus as Consul, the Romans began to understand the peninsula. However, their encounter with Carcaros was supposedly not friendly. As they, in the past, had invaded Valencia (a kingdom that was considered friendly to the Romans from time to time). Carcaros, according to reports, were a bunch of tribes with swathes of unclaimed "no man's land" in between each. Seeking glory of his own, Gallus sent volunteers of colonists, assisted by 6 legions, to Carcaros. Hoping to settle Romans there and exploit resources.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Baleria: We shall annex you, Baleria. We need you.
 * Carcaros: I suppose we should join in on the action against you.
