==== Winter Conflicts ====
From December 2022 through February 2023 the SPQR would be in a state of almost constant conflict both with rogue raiders and established civs.
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.

Also arnen.
On December twentieth the S.P.Q.R was party to the coalition that interceded to destroy [[Arnen]] in what would come to be known as the [[Four Hour War|Four Hour War.]]
 
===== Winter Raids =====
The peace after  of the winter wars was short lived.
On December 15, ch1pr would raid a chest vault in Cordoba.
 
On December 24, while Romans were busy celebrating Saturnalia and Christmas Eve, Planecanvas2056 harassed a frontier region on the southern border where they broke into the newly completed stables and attempted to steal a horse before fleeing south to safety.

On December 29, Highroll would become the first hostile actor since the end of the Rhode Island war to attack the S.P.Q.R. Their rampage began in the residential district where Highroll destroyed the first private library in the city before moving on to smote about the outside of the Praetorium where he was killed but not pearled. Later the next day Highroll was apprehnded in Civmarket and brought to S.P.Q.R. to stand trial and serve a brief sentence.
=== Time of Unification ===
 
On December 30, Naed87 and overkill209 would attack the farming colony at Lugdunum where they pillaged agricultural storage before moving on to griefing the rail station, breaking loadstones and castle gates before being confronted. The pair made to surface and split up. Overkill209 was pearled, but Naed87 was able to escape.
 
===== The Invasion of Cordoba =====
A period of hostilities existed between Cordoba and Gang Shi and their allies between January thirty-first and February sixth. Beginning with Gwua's opening tnt salvo in Cordoba and ending when the Cordoban bunker was handed over to a third party. Although the consequences of this would last for months.
 
===== The Purple War =====
The month of January was dominated by tensions between the Elyisian Pact and Kallos.
 
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 ====
On March 29 the city of Cordoba was officially voted into the S.P.Q.R. by a near unanimous vote of the Concilium Plebis to become the new province of Hispania. Several senior Cordobans were welcomed into Roman aristocracy to help administer the state with BradoTomato and Jcor213 rising to the rank of Senator that spring. It was after this that the City of Cordoba, which has been abandoned and picked over by Gang Shi since the invasion, was repopulated, restored, and secured.
 
==== 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.
Line 162 ⟶ 178:
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. Electionswith returnedelections returning 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 JcorJcor213 in April.
 
As a check to the all-powerfulpower of the 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.
