History

Founding and Kingdom

Main Article: Roman Kingdom

Romulus and Remus in 753 B.C founded Rome. The city was formed as an Etruscan-controlled city. Until 510 BC, Brutus and his fellow revolutionary members banded together and drew up the Declaration of Independence which formally announced their sovereignty from Etrusca and their renunciation of the current King.

Republic

Main Article: First Republic

In 509 BC, the Republic was born. Although there was no written law to prescribe the governing of the country, they distributed the executive powers into separate ministries of check and balances. The Senate and Roman assemblies remained the same, but their powers shifted to once side after another.

The Romans soon eliminated other tribes in the Italian peninsula, becoming a threatening force in the Mediterranean. The Roman gain further importance with the capture of strategic ports. During the Third Century, the Romans butted heads with Carthage not once, but three times all Roman victories. Gaining further colonies, Rome went to further subdue other nations in the Mediterranean.

The wealth earned from the colonies created a money struggle inside the social and political classes. Money was not the only thing, clashing of the classes gave way to reforms for power and land. The military itself transformed to a professional one with the ability to respond faster than a ragtag citizen army.

During the 1st Century, a Triumvirate consisting of Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, split the role of dictator. But Caesar won over the people during his conquest in Gaul. He was granted every executive office and the role of dictator for life. This gain of power annoyed a select group of Senators and in 44 B.C, Caesar was murdered. The action became an earthquake to the fall of the republic. Octavian, Caesar’s heir, gained absolute power when he defeated his opponents in the second Triumvirate.

Empire

Main Article: Roman Empire

The aftermath of the civil war, rose the Empire. Founded by Octavian, he was granted the de facto office of Emperor. Still offering the existence of the republican government, he took away all their powers. It was not long until, the Julian dynasty, rose the Flavian after the demise of Nero. Vespasian rose to power and was popular to the people, but his followers soon fell to the dagger. The last Flavian, Domitian fell to Nerva who began a dynasty of competent successors which extended Rome’s borders.

The end of the Nervan-Antonian Dynasty found more unsuccessful leaders during the reign of the Severans. The empire then fell into the largest turmoil since the transition from republic to empire. The throne was fought over by generals, but Diocletian won over his troops and the people during the Crisis of the Third Century. His reign publicized the true identity of the emperor. He transformed the empire by introducing a new line of heirs and the most revolutionary, splitting the empire into two. The new system called the Tetrarchy, which called for two co-emperors and two co-junior emperors worked for sometime until emperors competed for supremacy for a united empire. Constantine I united the Empire for a brief amount of time and moved the capital to Byzantium, when officially solidified the Empire’s division.

The Western portion of the Empire fell to constant invasions, which led to its decline until 476 when barbarians forced the last Emperor out, however the Eastern part continued to flourish until the re-resurrection second republic.

Second Republic

After a decade of the Western Roman Empire's demise, the citizens of Italy and other 12 provinces announced their independence and revolt against the Germanic tribes. They graciously presented a Declaration of Independence to the Germanic kings, but received the same response from the Etruscans in 510 BC. The Romans asked their counterparts in the East to help, but left to fend for themselves. The Roman Government formed up a Congress and resurrected the Roman Army.

After a decade of war, Rome eliminated the Germans from their territorial earnings. The Romans restored the First Republic’s form of government. The first year of the new nation was an unsteady one. Groups of Romans revolted against the state of Africa, because of a dispute of taxes. This alerted the government that the government system is not working. A Constitutional Convention was called, but many of the provincial representatives would not show up. They asked the popular Narendra Parmara (L•VLPIVS•L•F•L•N•TRAIANVS) a famous and loyal military and civil commander, farmer, Emperor Trajan's descendant and a supposed heir to the Imperial Throne. After the war, he quelled the Army revolt that could have made him emperor. Seeing his leadership, he denied several offers from Congress to be part of the Convention, but accepted the offer when the Convention drawing out their original intent. Months of debating came to a conclusion with the creation of U.S. Constitution. The provinces almost acting as their own during the revolution, were renamed as states. With some luck the US Constitution was ratified by every state, creating the Federal Constitutional Republic. Navendra Parmara returned to his home, briefly. He was again begged at by Congress to lead the country. On April 29th, 0515 AD, he was elected unanimously by Congress. He was given the power to set up the executive branch to his liking so long as it didn’t violate the constitution.


Government and Politics

The United States is the oldest living federation. It is a combination of a representative democracy and constitutional republic. The government follows a regulated system of checks and balances defined by the Constitution of the United States of Rome, the supreme law of the land. This system also traces it history to the First Republic.

The seat of power is located in Rome, DT. The District is named after its first President.

The Government is split up into three branches, in which they check and balance each other's power:

  • Legislative: The Congress, made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
  • Executive: The President, who appoints, with Senate approval, the Cabinet and other officers to help administer federal law.
  • Judicial: The Supreme Court and lower federal courts

House of Representatives

The House consists of 3562 members who represent their congressional districts for a two year term. Representatives are apportioned by their states from the size of the population each fifth year.

Granted to him, by the Constitution, he is given presidential power if the President is on state visits or if he leaves office.
