"Ave Imperium!"

The Imperium Romanum (also known as Roman Empire, or Rome) is a nation that situation in Mid-Western Europe. It was founded in March 17th 2021 after the then Roman High Council seceded from the Holy Roman Empire, making Konigsberg its Capital City. The Empire is led by Imperator CosmicKingSimp, alongside the Roman High Council.

## History

### Before CCNet (2013-2020)

The Imperium Romanum as a Nation and Community existed way before their entry into CCNet, maining in other Geopolitical Servers with similar, if not inferior to CCNet. In around 2021, after a devastating war with their archnemesis, which lead to the fall of the old Roman Capital, the Imperator & his High Council decided to pack up & move to CCNet.

### Early CCNet era (March 2021 - Sep 2021)

Earlier on, despite having little to no Logistical Development, the Imperium Romanum managed to hold out pretty well against their Enemy, the Nordic Empire. Around September 2021, with the Founding of the Belkan Empire, the Imperium Romanum found itself a new enemy, and aggressions on both sides happened on the Daily.

Around December 2021, the Belkan Empire launched an attack on the Town of Germania. Despite fighting bravely, the Imperium Romanum lost against the combined Nordic-Belkan Forces and fell into Occupation. However, this does not stop Rome from revolting. ￼

The Coalition, consisted of Imperium Romanum, Thracian Dominions among others formed as a counterbalance against the Nordic Empire, which by this point has captured almost the entire Western side of Europe.

### The Coalition Wars (Dec 2021 - July 2022)

Starting from here, the wars between the Coalition & Nordic Empire with her allies happens almost consistently, with every siege the Imperium Romanum gradually got better at sieging. Losses slowly turned into Victory. However, close to Christmas day 2021, the Imperium Romanum fell into vassalage of the Nordic Empire. This continuted on for almost 2 months, causing Rome much damage infrastructurally & developmentally.

Post Christmas Truce, Rome manages to be freed itself from Nordic Rule, but was still relatively weak. However, around June-July 2022, peace talks began to happen with the Nordic Empire, starting with the people of the town of Celle, headed by Nordic Nobility JerryDuck as Rome found its allies, The Thracian Dominion, more and more obnoxious & demanding. Before this there were many attempts at Peace, which all ended in disasters & greatly divided the Roman-Nordic People. Around August, Rome officially signed the Neutral Pact with the Nordic Empire, ending its War with its Neighbor. This, however, did not sit well with the Leaders of Thracian Dominion, who accused Rome of betraying them & the Coalition, and so launched an invasion at the Fort of Ordenstaat Livland, kick starting the Livland Wars.

### The Livland Wars ( August 2022 - February 2023)

The Livland Wars is a series of Wars fought between the Imperium Romanum, Nordic Empire & Thracian Dominion, Teutonic Order. While the First Invasion wave was pushed out with relative ease, it became apparent with subsequences Sieges that Rome & Nordic cannot fought the entire Coalition, and so Livland fell to the Coalition around August 2023 & Rome was subsequently vassalized once again by Thracia for a month.

Many other attempts was pulled to rid Rome of its overlords to no success, however around November 2022, with the Arrival of a brand new Face, JerryDuck. The Imperator gathered his people & started to devise up plans to fight back against the Coalition. This subsequently led to the 4th & 5th Livland Siege, of which Rome finally pushed back the Thracian Invaders and removed them out of Livland, finally securing independence for Rome.

After this, the Fort of Incindium was founded to ensure there would be no more total Vassalization in Rome.

The Following Months, the Imperator worked closely with his newly independent nation, reforming the nation & improving the administration with the help of High Capal JerryDuck. Gradually, Rome began to grow & development started happening. Other Nations began to take notice to Imperium Romanum as people started flocking into the Nation.

### The Nordic Merge ( February 2023 )

Around February 2023, Vestfold, the Capital City of The Great Nordic Empire, fell to Coalition Forces. Following its liberation, the Nordic Nobility decided to merge their Empire into Rome. With the approval of both sides, the Nordic Empire merged into the Imperium Romanum, and its government dissolved. Overnight, the Imperium Romanum expanded its territory from just Central Europe to encompass the Entirety of Western Europe, excluding the British Isles.

### Post-Merge Golden Age ( March 2023 - June 2023 )

Following the Merge, Rome experienced a Golden Age of activity where mass projects are completed, more people joining the Empire, and many reforms took place to ensure maximum efficiency within the Nation. Konigsberg began developing, as well as Poznan, Ephesus among other ex-Nordic Towns.

Militaristically, Rome gained many Movecrafters, PvPers, Grinders & Gunners. Diplomatically, with the Fall of Nordic, Rome took over as head of the Imperial Alliance, consisting of Sahara Syndicate, Russian Empire, Carb Empire, Oceanic Empire.

However, bad things were to come, with the PvP forces of Rome seceeding to form their own Nation, Nordic Conquerors, and with increasing tensions between the Sahara Syndicate & Russian Empire, it was only a matter of time before the Collapse of the Imperial Alliance happens.

### The Collapse of the Imperial Alliance ( July 2023 - August 2023 )

On the 9th July 2023, the Imperial Alliance collapsed as Roman Naval Forces, led by Norvd, attacked Russian Navy, led by Ryuuichi, this led the Russian Empire to abandon the Alliance and signed a peace treaty with the Japanese Empire, formally joining the Coalition. Following this, Kievan Rus, lead by AlphaDarky left the Alliance. Rome itself also stepped down from the Alliance and remains isolated for the next month.

During this time, Rome's fighting capabilities was called into question as most of its PVP forces had left to join the opposite side. However, Rome still remains stable internally, with minimal changes happening as its development projects are still going on.

### Current Age ( August 2023 - Now )

As if stands, Rome has found itself a member of the new Alliance. Nation Development is still the main priority, as is training its soldiery for Defense purposes.
