As its in the very close to world powers octavia historical stragedy is two to keep neutral and expand its colonial holdings that it has done very succesfuly since the 1700. Not all the colonial ventures were succesful, lately the province of Venturas was considered too difficult to maintian and defend even though it was resourse abundant, it was decided to sell it to Orosetto. Also an treaty was made with rema nova and we exchanged the province of razeh for Bab, Gangapur and some money.

## **History:**

* After the fall of the empire The legate julius Belisarius commander of the 71st legion and governor of the island and the remains of his Legion garrison of the island, and 10 reman senators decided to establish a new republic because they believed that the old empire had become corrupt and over extended. So they had to preserve the ideals of the republic, of technology trade and army protecting the republic but without the expansion that had brought down the empire. The “republic” had a string of emperors and kings while the senate was mostly ceremonial.
* In 1850 the great romulus, the reformer transformed the modern Octavia state. First he reformed the bureaucracy, and drafted a constitution which gave the senate true power and the PC was elected among the senators. In this time it became a true democratic republic. Universal male voting was achieved in 1860. While universal women voting was achieved in 1890. For all citizens.
* Among other reforms the state was secularized and then it became independent from the church entirely.
* Primary education was compulsory for all in 1870 and secondary education was in 1890.
* Oil deposits were discovered in Octavia in 1870.
* The army was reformed into a permanent organisation, with proper ranks, supply chains and tactics.
* The navy was reformed into a permanent modern navy, leaving it ready for the modern age. And the first ironclads were commissioned during that time
* In 1905 Octavia had universal free compulsory and secular education for primary and high school, as well as free universal care for all citizens. As well as an adequate social security system only reversed for citizens.
* The Octavian government has a policy of colonial expansion for resources nowadays, and a strike first doctrine.

### **Octavian colonisation process:**

* In 1700 the first Octavia settlers arrived at Sagwaramand although complete control of the colony was achieved in 1760
* In 1780 we first arrived at: talabat. Although full control was achieved in 1800s
* After 1810s further inland exploration and colonialism was proposed by the senate and some extra land for resources was sought with the intention of forming a congo.
* The province of narth was aquried on the 1830s after an agreement with drak and firocco, that the colonisation limits were when each other’s outpost met.
* Ikcanto was colonised in 1850 after an agreement with celetica
* The province of Venturas was "aquired" in the 1850s but due to its difficult terrain control was sporadic
* Razeh in 1860 after an informal agreement with the remans
* Lilapur was the last colony’s in 1890s
* All colonies are under our full control and are considered long term colonies and treated as such.
* In 1904 an agreement was conducted that sold the province of razeh to the reman empire in exchange for the provinces of bab and Gangpur and 25 million Octavian pounds to the empire.
* As well an agreement with Orosetto was made in 1904 in which the province of Venturas was sold for 100 million pounds.
* Both withdrawls and ocupations were complete by january 1905

#### **2. Wonders**

##### Ancient:

The Octavian colossus: a huge statue 165f tall of an Octavian legion-ere is the attack position built shortly after it gained independence of the remans to show the might of Octavia. It is located near Nova roma the capital. Once upon a time the mighty colossus had colours, nowadays, only the marbles rock can be seen and the blade of the sword collapsed decades ago.

##### Modern:

The grand monument to Romulus founder of the modern octavia and the tomb of the unknown legionnaire modern wonder circa 1870 completed 1899.

A gigantic monument to Romulus that in 1850 reformed the country into the modern state it is today, truly transforming it into a democratic republic secularising the state, reforming the administration, the army into a proper permanent force and the navy into a modern organisation rather than the semi permanent militia it was before. He was a benevolent dictator that reformed octavia into what it is today.

The monument itself is Romulus in a horse in a gigantic building showing its accomplishments; also the victory’s of Octavia are recorded. There is also a tomb to the unknown legionnaire inside.

In contrast with the picture Romulus is in a horse but at the same level as the columns (not elevated) as he wanted to be buried with his soldiers.

##### Natural citizenship:
