The S.P.Q.R. (''Senate and People of Rome'') is a nation located in the South West of [[Impendia]], in the midst of the +,- quadrant and surrounded by the ocean to the west, and the nations of Moloka an New Jersey to the south and [[City of England|England]] and [[Jorvik]] to the east and north. Centered around its capital city of Roma established on the first day of the server, but the group's history stretches back much further than that. The S.P.Q.R. is a Roman themed build and trading civ Roma, the capital.
 
The S.P.Q.R. as a civ can trace its roots back to a small factions server some eight years ago and formally established itself on [[Civcraft 1.0]] in January ofearly 2013 at the end of the [[HCF Invasion]] and remained throughout the end of 1.0, through the entirety of [[Civcraft 2.0|2.0]] and [[Civcraft 3.0|3.0]], and Civclassics and CivRealms before being continued onto CivMC.

Line 84:
 
==== Foundation ====
The city of Roma was founded on June 2, 2022 by four Patricians: Alberlb96[[alberlb96|alberlb96]], Jerven1, Mark_Antony, and NovaCeasar. The spot for settling was chosen by Princeps Mark_Antony as it was a good place to build a city and had good biomes to grow enoughtenough food like wheat and carrots; it was also chosen as it was close to [[Jorvik]], a long lasting ally and friend of S.P.Q.R dating from back in Civcraft 2.0.
 
==== First Steps ====
Line 125:
Patrician Novaceasar was pearled the 28th of August<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/x09911/novaceasar_pearled_by_twigbranch/</ref> while she was working on the [[Free Danzilonan Republic|Danzilona]] nether by TwigBranch, and her pearl was transported to the Rhode Island nether bunker.
 
The war continued for another month with only minor fighting until the powers at be banished most of the antagonists in Rhode Island, effectively ending the war on September 17th. Fighting continued in [[Blockchainistan]] for several more days and Romans were involved in coalition operations on the 19th, which continued until most of the area was annexed by Titan, soon to be Gang Shi. The S.P.Q.R. officially declared a cessation of hostilities on the 22nd of November marking the end of its official involvement in the so called Generic War and the beginning of a transitionary period.
 
===Reconstruction Period===
Line 157:
On January 15 the situation escalated when a party of Kallosian and allied combatants attacked an Estalian bunker on the Kallosian border. Fighting broke out but all-out war was avoided. Tensions simmered over the following weeks, which were filled with snitch buzzing, border trespasses, and other harassment. The situation culminated in what would come to be known as the [[Purple War]] on February 11 when the Kallos vault was broken, but the cleanup operations would continue for weeks.
 
=== '''Unification and Expansion''' ===
 
==== Incorporation of Cordoba ====
Line 168:

In mid July a new commune of settlers came to Impendia and settled in the derelict territories of Terra Leporis Maximi, on the S.P.Q.R. border. After being pearled for  petty raiding, Zombie_Striker returned with Cewp to pillage the beaches of Hispania and Fempire, provoking a strong response. S.P.Q.R. forces occupied the settlement, pearled zombie_striker again, and recovered the sand. Weighing their past and present actions, their stated intentions, and the expected destabilization the group was bringing to the area, they were expelled and the area was officially occupied by the S.P.Q.R.

On December 12, Civil strife broke out into violence in Baile, with Romans responding with an allied contigent of Vinlanders to restore order. The response would see Renjii, cheatkoe, and AugustusVex pearled in an incident that nearly spiraled out of control when fighters from Gang Shi responded.
