Roman Republic

The Roman Republic is a sizable nation located primarily on the Italian Peninsula. It was founded on September the Fifth, 2021, and has a discord.
== History ==
=== Foundation Era ===
The Roman Republic can trace its roots to when _M3tt_ founded the city of Rome (and the nations Discord) on September the Second, 2021. Early on it secured alliances with the North Italian Republic, The Brazilian Empire, and Belgium. On its first day the cities of Rome, Neāpolis, Calaris and Syacruse were founded, expanding the nations territory to all around the Tyrrhenian sea.
=== The Naples Crisis ===
The flowing day a player named Zander made a discord for the nation of "The Roman Empire", which claimed to be the true Rome. In response _M3tt_ said on Discord:
"Because we are probably going at war against the false Roman Empire claimed by Zander (on discord), I hereby ask you to be prepared, gear up, and stay strong. Our allies already gave us their support, so we are not alone. However, due of the nature of the conflict, toxicity could be expected, so I ask you, to NOT be toxic like them, BE SUPERIOR. If they insult you, or are just very toxic, please, report them to the server. Thank you all"
Shortly after the town of "Naples" was founded next to the already existing town of Neāpolis, escalating the situation. The town suddenly gained many residents, and became one of the wealthiest towns on the server, raising eyebrows among the Roman Republic and their ally Belgium. They eventually came to the conclusion that the town must've gotten so powerful because because Zander used many alt-accounts, and promptly made a ticket to staff. Meanwhile Naples expanded rapidly and ended up joining Britain, but shortly after disbanded. Zander then settled in northern Germany and created the German nation.
=== Merger With the Northern Italian Republic ===
On the Fourth of September, the Northern Italian Republic was incorporated into the nation after negotiations as a autonomous region. The nation also made a new discord. The same day Rome, along with may other countries, including Sweden and Germany, levied an embargo on France. This came with much animosity towards France.
=== Creation ===
The Roman Republic was finally created in-game on the Fifth of September, 2021, after. Funds primary came from the whole nation, with people donating thousands to the effort. Most funds were raised by _M3tt_, with Scipio donating 13k to the effort.
=== Franco-Belgian War ===
The Roman Republic was a part of the First Coalition, and were a major part of the War on France. The Roman voice chat was an important advantage for the first coalition.
=== The Settlement of Italy ===
On the Tenth of September, _M3tt_ announced that via giving funds to towns to claim their area, 90% of the Italian Peninsula had been claimed, _M3tt_ said on discord:
"We would have never reached this goal without the support of everyone, active or not ... We are making great progress, and we shall become an example of a successful civilization based on trust and kindness."
=== Economic Boom ===
Due to the strategy of farming carrots with a Fortune III scythe, and trading with villagers, many citizens got incredibly wealthy. An example is Necronthunder, who got netherite armour and tools. At the same time, many projects were beginning to be undertaken, most notably, Roads to connect all towns, and the construction of government buildings in Rome.
=== Imperialism ===
Rome also made a few colonies. Ever since the nation was founded, Libya, Tunisia, and parts of the Ivory Coast were incorporated into the empire as colonies.
=== Recent Times ===
after the retirement of Mett, two Consuls were elected: Bigbash (Brindisi) and Dhet (Rimini). It was a peaceful period. After a short time Bigbash has decided to move elsewhere and leave Italy, and then Dhet also decided to retire after having full console powers for some time. At that point WokeUp (Calaris) was informed that he would temporarily take over the powers of the nation. Hispanic allies greeted him as the new Consul of Rome. It was precisely then that taking advantage of the transition phase of Rome, the Bosnians began to attack all the cities of the peaceful and thriving Italy. Brindisi and Calaris fell momentarily, Islamic Bosnia offered the Italian ruling class to annex the entire country under them in order to end the tiring conflict. Woke and the others refused, but the situation was not easy, they had to do something to defend themselves and the allies no longer seemed willing to intervene. Then in the conference room of the palace of Calaris with a diplomatic move the Latin union was founded (Italian and Iberian peninsula), with the Spanish and Italian leaders with the same title of Consul, but the major part of power resided in the Castilian capital. in Italy Woke established elections for the new Consul, and on the last day he was beaten by Xtra (Brindisi). At that point Xtra and Strike proceeded to merge with other nations, founding the Slavic-Latin union, which, however, did not last long. Then something shocking happened: the consul of the Iberian side fell and Xtra took full power, supported by the other Italian senators, and re-founded the Roman republic. However the Iberian region at that point began to be a bit abandoned and a series of attacks followed one another on its coasts. At the end the office of Consul passed to JohnRush (Abruzzo). Xtra and JohnRush decided that Xtra would remain king and he would be in the consul, but without the in-game role.
