Overview
The Roman Imperium count's itself among China and Japan as one of the oldest civilizations of the world. It is a conservative constitutional monarchy and though the Emperor holds no temporal power, as defender of the Orthodox faith his influence is great. The Roman Imperium is but a fragment of it's ancient height and though the city that birthed it remains within it's borders, (something known as the 'The Last Gift of Belisarius') the capital lies within the great city of Constantinople, known to it's residents simply as 'the city'.
The Romans are one of the major powers of the Sol system, the leading nation of bloc known as the Union of Europa. The first nation to reach space, they have a storied history of spaceflight and maintain a number of inner and outer system colonies and remain rivals of the European Union.
It is a major producer of industrial and agricultural goods as well as being a pioneer of cybernetics due to highly restricted laws around genetic engineering. It's largest colony is Alexopoulos in the Arcadia Planitia region on Mars, though the most important colonial facility is probably Pallas, a major hub for Roman mining activities in the asteroid belt.
History
The Roman Imperium has a long and byzantine history, stretching back two millennia. The most significant periods concern the rise of Christianity in the 300s AD, the reconquest of southern Italy in 540 and the defeat of the Islamic armies of the Rashidun Caliphate in the 600s. Some historians point to the Battle of Ajnadayn, when a Roman Army under Theodore a brother of Emperor Heraclius crushed the Army of the Rashidun Caliphate as a defining moment and speculate without the subsequent collapse of the Caliphate, Islam may of come to dominate Eurasia.
600s to 1800s TBD.
Throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, the power of the Emperor was gradually curtailed by the Senate and in 1933, with the establishment of the People's Assembly and universal suffrage.
The Romans fought on the side of the Allies in World War 1 against the Holy Roman Empire in 1920, sparked by the assassination of an Elector Prince and again in 1939-1947 against Germania.
