Imperium Romanum

Imperium\_Romanum, more commonly known as the Roman Empire or just Rome, is the biggest and oldest nation in KineticMC. Its Emperor, emaminek, has been playing on the server since day 1. Rome has got an interesting story of rises and falls, and can be divided in the following periods:

1) The Golden Ages

2) The Darkest Hour

3) The (flawed) rise

4) The 2nd fall

5) Today

Imperium\_Romanum was founded on the 23rd May, 2020. Its first capital was Florentia, which was the biggest town of MCPH era KineticMC. In the Golden Ages, most of the server population was united under the Roman Empire, which was the major power of KineticMC, expecially after the crushing victory against its only competitor, the IBC, on the 24th May, 2020. After the downtime of MCPH, a good chunk of Roman players quit the nation or quit playing Minecraft. The Roman Empire was experiencing its darkest hour: its population shrank from 20 to 9 players, and the nation was overshadowed by other powers like the American\_Federation or the Jesus\_Empire. But Emperor emaminek had various plans to bring Rome back to its ancient power: he started pushing for a merge with Zenith, which eventually accepted the offer, marking the start of the era of (flawed) Roman rise. Even though Rome was arguably a major power again, emaminek had to grant a veto power to Zenith on all of his decisions, decreasing his power drastically. During this period, Zenith started dragging Rome into a war with the Jesus Empire. During this period, the city of Cagliari was formed as well. Zenith eventually went inactive, and Cagliari got "purged" by bans from the server admins, thereby dethroning Rome from its status of major power. The nation was experiencing a period of stagnation and slight unrest, and emaminek was worried for its future due to the low stability and activity of the Roman Empire of the 4th era. All Cagliari members joined The\_SCP\_Foundation, rendering Rome essentially as a one-man-nation. But not all hope was lost, Asterrock666 a well known and influential player and a former old Roman member, joined back the town, alongside zuchinni191. Following the San Diego Nuclear Incident, the American\_Federation merged with Rome. After Japan experienced a period of unrest, JessieHart quit the nation and joined Rome. Even though today the balance of power in the server may not be entirely in favour of Rome like it was in the MCPH era, Rome is finally a power to be reckoned with, with a centralized and more powerful government, a quite active playerbase and able to produce god armour. A nuclear reactor for the city of Rome is currently under construction. As of the 1st July, 2020, the nuclear reactor has been built, but Ireland has broke off from the Roman Empire, forming the Gaelic Union. As the playerbase is slowly shrinking and there isn't a substantial growth, Imperium\_Romanum, alongside many other nations, is experiencing a period of demographic stagnation. After the SCP\_Foundation joined Imperium\_Romanum on the 5th July, 2020, the nation has been ruled by a dual leadership composed of Bazmiku and emaminek and is arguably one of the strongest nation if not the strongest nation in the server.
