Through this period of reconstruction much of the initial forum was laid out and constructed by Alberl and security was restored and enhanced, first with the restoration of the vault, then with expansion of strategic infrastructure throughout all Roman lands. Beyond its borders... The S.P.Q.R. Assisted with the relocation of Jorvik and Bruma into southern territories and the consolation of many other post-war territories including the abandonment of Baile and the settlement of the Taiga Kingdom.
==== Winter Conflicts ====
Near the end of the reconstruction the Winter Raids between Christmas and New Years of 2022 took Impendia by surprise as various groups of small perry raiders moved through the area. Highroll, and others were pearled for a time until peace was restored.

==== Northern Conflicts ====
Early July opened up with the great pursuit of PUSS7D3STR073R fleeing from Nara. After raiding Shiroyama they fled north sparking a massive manhunt. After landing in Impendia, a joint Elysian Pact forces fanned out across most of the continent, converging on the target in the area formerly claimed as the S.P.Q.R. province of Memphis. The target was killed even though not pearled; the incident is minor in Roman history and only worth mentioning here as it relates to a renewed focus on security along the northern frontier.

The ultimate result was an expansion of borders of SPQR to the Danuvius River to incorporate border territories already patrolled and maintained into the nation.
It’s also the time S.P.Q.R. had settled its first new settlement since the end of the Generic War in Tenochtitlan, the temple city founded by Ancom_ThePolpot.
== '''Politics''' ==
The Roman citizenry have remained unified and remain above factional politics that have divided other groups, there are no national parties or political sects driving national decisions.
The Principate was effectively dissolved and the Republic restored on October 5. Since then Consular government has reigned over the S.P.Q.R. Elections returned in spring of 2023 with the elections of the People's Tribune which coincided with the slow expansion of the Senate. Through it all the Concilium Plebis, the peoples assembly, remains as a place where all citizens can vote and have their voices heard.
===Government ===
The state is administered by two chief magistrates, Alberlb96 and Mark_Antony, who as Consuls wield Imperium across every spectrum, making them effectively the heads of state, chief judges, commanders over military matters, and the presidents over legislative proceedings. With this authority comes the responsibility of maintaining and organizing the whole of the state.
The Consuls along with three others make up the Senate, a secure advisory council consisting of the greatest citizens across the state. The first 3 Senators to fill these positions were chosen via election to the Tribunate; First BattleofSky and Bradotomato in March 2023, then Jcor in April.
As a check to the all-powerful Consuls, Since the end of February there has always been a Tribune of the People, elected by all citizens to represent their concerns to the Senate and curtail any of the worst tendencies of the governing elite. Thankfully the position has proven unnecessary and remains under utilized, but the position exists to promote political activity and enfranchise all citizens with say in the government.

The S.P.Q.R. has always generally been an areligious society, recognizing the traditional Roman pantheon as patrons of the city with various shrines and temples dedicated in their honor, but there is no official state religion.
The earliest settled religion goes back to the coming of the cave spider. Deemed Saturninus, this gift from Ahrimane on June 18, 2022 was given divine importance and the creature was brought forth from around the area of the oak farms today through the forests, by boat, and into the Temple of Saturn to be set there as an object of wonder. Saturninus the Spider has since gained a cult following boasting several prominent Romans. The spider is considered one of the most sacred objects in all the S.P.Q.R. and is kept under high security.
===Mountains and rivers===▼
Early in 2023 another religion emerged, Ancom_ThePolpot acclaimed Romanum Tshola as the Flamen Tsholalis. This Romanized belief centered around a great creator and sun deity had a very strong if brief burst before subsiding into the background as just another god acknowledged within the Roman Pantheon.

In July of 2023 the City of Cordoba was acknowledged as an official Diocese by the Catholic Church and Gray9111 was anointed as Bishop to be the head of the Church in Hispania, an area overwhelmingly inhabited by followers of the Holy See.

== Provinces of the S.P.Q.R ==▼
The S.P.Q.R. can best be described as a tiered commune with capitalist elements.
All citizens gain access to factories and farms as well as basic bulk storage, the contents of which are not actively monitored or maintained and persist on a sort of honor system. Government officials, typically of the Senatorial class or higher maintain a large pool of resources with which the state is maintained and projects are funded. And all citizens are encouraged to maintain and grow their own private wealth.
===Solis===▼
Central to the Roman Forum in the capital is the great market basilica which is home to some of the exchanges and a few other shops, namely the Citizens Exchange and the XP exchange. The Citizens exchange is just a simple ore and item exchange more convenient to new citizens, and the XP exchange is a typical exchange where Spruce Saplings, Pumpkin, Nether Wart, Crimson Vines, Wheat, Spider Eyes, and even Essence can be exchanged for emeralds.
===Gallia===▼
Beyond the exchanges, the S.P.Q.R. maintains several private shops in Roma, Pavia, and Suramir. Roma Corp shares a plot with Blob Shop in Suramir while Roma Corp shares a shop with Cordoba in Pavia, and both have locations in Roma city. Blob Shop specializes in mob drops while Roma Corp is a miscellaneous goods merchant with an emphasis on Brews.
Roma Corp engineers CherokeeIndian and BattleofSky achieved greatness when they became the first to discover 5 star Blue Sky Meth on July 19.

A current census is always maintained with new citizens added to the rolls regularly. It is on the Kalends of each month the Census is reviewed and published (for the previous month) if there are sufficient changes from the prior month, with that census being copied over to the new month to record changes from there forward.
There is are no strict requirements for Roman citizenship, instead it is up to the discretion of the two Censors, (both Consuls) to exercise judgement on a case by case basis on the extending and revoking of citizenship, movement between the classes of citizenship, and reclassification between active and inactive. Citizenship is generally liberally extended and seldom revoked. Inactive citizens retain citizenship but are kept in a separate category to avoid inflating overall citizenship numbers. Another thing of note is the lack of distinction between primary citizens and dual citizens.
Within the citizenry there are several classifications: Patricians, Equestrians, and Plebeians. All new citizens are inherently Plebeians until such a time that they are judged to have somehow earned the higher rank of Eques, which could more be considered a "full" citizen. The Patrician class has fallen out of use, originally an honorific for founding citizens, the classification is more akin to the senior political class of permanent Senators.
