SPQR (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

| data4 = [[NovaCeasar]]Mark_Antony

TheTRhe S.P.Q.R. (''Senate and People of Rome'',) Isis a nation deep to the northwest along the world border. The capital city and initial settlements were established during the first days of the server, but the group's history stretches back much further than that. The legacy of the S.P.Q.R is a nation roughly designed upon periods of the 1st BC to 2nd Century CE Roman Republic and Empire. Roma, the capital, is built in a strict Roman style, while many of its settlements are also themed historically.

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 the civcraft[[Civcraft 1.0]] in January of 2013 at the end of the Great [[HCF WarInvasion]] and remained throughout the end of 1.0, through the entirety of [[Civcraft 2.0|2.0]], and through [[Civcraft 3.0|3.0]]. The Civ was revived and re-founded by former rivals under NovaCeasar and subsequently joined by old veterans on Civclassics[[CivClassic]].

Provinces are geographically unique areas with the designated governors being ultimately responsible for the administration of laws and power throughout the Province. Regions without governors are administered by the Senate through the Consuls. Some territories designated as Provinces have not had Governors and instead retain local governments if recognized by the Senate to govern the province as its own nation effectively. ''(Suchsuch as [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]] during its brief time in the SPQR, or Brynley before it throughout most of [[Civcraft 2.0]])'' .

The SPQR has a formal legal code in the fromform of its historic [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivSPQR/wiki/legal Twelve Tables].

While the Princeps is the formal ''Head of State'', The Consuls also take lead roles in representing the S.P.Q.R. and regularly conduct diplomacy with other entities and on many occasions have delegated specific missions to other citizens to act as emissaries to other groups. The S.P.Q.R. maintains many treaties with many groups and for a long time was a member of the [[UNC|United Northern Congress|UNC]] (UNC). After the collapse of the UNC the S.P.Q.R. has turned back to once again favoring unilateral treaties with individual civs and has taken the approach of being more western focused with its diplomacy.

While Rome holds no enemies by name it does insist on remaining neutral in the ongoing Mir[[NATO-NatoMir conflictWar]], and continues to maintain active and friendly relations with a number of other civs including [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]], [[Lusitania (CivClassic 2.0)|Lusitania]], [[Varkonia]], and more.

Throughout most of it's history the S.P.Q.R. has been completely reliant on foreign [[XP]]. Some citizens have participated in XP exchanges established in other civs such as [[Varkonia]], but the vast majority purchase their XP from foreign markets such as [[Commonwealth]] or [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]].

In July of 2019 an Economics Council was established under the joint administration of MuffinMan and Langly to finalize the organization of domestic [[XP production]] to establish a completely independent XP exchange within the S.P.Q.R. The effort is still underway in its final stages with hopes of finishing at any time.

With the primary goal of creating a sustainable food supply and creating farms for [[XP production]] the boundaries of Rome were pushed in all directions to encompass a diverse range of biomes. [[Langly]] and [[Bloodhbound98]] would establish settlements to the northwest in areas that would later be organized into the Provinces of Gallia and Germania while [[Mark_Antony]] settled to the southwest on the border of [[LuxembourgLuxemburg]] and Empasse[[Impasse]] in an area that would eventually become Hispania. NovaCeasar herself would continue in Roma to centralize the settlement efforts as well as overseeing Rome's sprawling rail development.

After sometime NovaCeasar worked with Empasse[[Impasse]] and agreed upon the [[Partitioningpartitioning of Luxembourg[[Luxemburg]] which had fallen to inactivity. asThere wellis asa establishingmyth claims onthat the island[[Lusitania|Lusitan]] chainnation towhom theSPQR southpartitioned of[[Luxemburg]] Italiawith inwas theborn areaout toof becomeSPQR, Achaia.however Novait alsois workedfalse, withas [[DaddyLusitania#History|Lusitan historians]] ofagree Limnadiathat toLusitania incorporatewas thesettled small Kingdom intowhen the S.P.Q.R.founder andof eventuallyLusitania, a treaty[[Metriximor]], was signedtravelling givingfrom the land[[Impasse]] to Romethe [[Commonwealth]].

Many more minor outposts, mines and camps, farms, and other unremarkable posts were left behind during the expansion. Much of what the Empire is today was established during this period, although work remained to be done everywhere including the capital. The initial Rail lines were completed connecting Roma to places as far away as [[Impasse]], [[Lexington]], and [[The Commonwealth]].

During the current Era, many Romans have returned and activity and production have increased. During this era, SPQR was invited by the Principality of [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]] to establish a protectorate over the nation, the first culminating in Roman support for Kaltsburg joining the United Northern Congress as an equal. The Second Protectorate of Kaltsburg eventually pushed for independence, and a vote lead to the separation of what we today call Augsburg from the Protectorate and becoming an integral Roman province, (the first possession outside of the original SPQR core), and the independence of Kaltsburg as a Roman ally.

===[[ Italia]] ===

=== [[Hispania]] ===

After the Partitioningpartitioning of Luxembourg[[Luxemburg]], Hispania's lands were expanded to incorporate the newly acquired territory to the south.

=== [[Corsica and Sardinia]] ===

=== [[Germania]] ===

Rome's frontier boundaries in the North along its border with [[Hallow]], Germania is intended to be a border province as well as a [[farming]] estate.

The province was the center of a crisis in early 2019, during which time the ongoing Mir-[[NATO-Mir warWar]] threatened to escalate into the area bordering Hallow; ultimately the [[UNC]] resolved the situation peacefully after establishing a presence along the river frontier with Hallow to enforce neutrality.

=== [[Gallia]] ===

One of Rome's frontier Provinces, Gallia is a vast region of land to the east bordering [[Corvus]] (formerly [[Impasse]]) and unclaimed wilderness. Bloodhound98 did much of the initial work surveying the Province and establishing its boundary markers and laying out the planned partitioning of the Province for its eventual settlement.

Langly is one of the prominent residents of Gallia, constantly working to work and expand the sprawling [[farming]] complexes there around the settlement taking her name ''Colonia Langly''. The Province remains one of the most productive in the Republic, producing melons, potatoes, carrots, and wheat. The settlement is connected to Roma by rail along the line that ends in Germania.

In September of 2018 a southern settlement was established, it is closer to the Impasse border (Now corvus) than the northern settlement founded by bloodhound98 and unlike it's northern counterpart has direct rail access to Roma and Limnadia. The area is known for it's llamas and quarry, the latter of which produced most of the stone used to construct the Eastern Road, which is the areasarea's most notable landmark.

===[[ Hellas]] ===

===[[ Achaia]] ===

Achaia is an archipelago of islands to the south of Latium acting as a border between Italia and the land of Kongisberg[[Königsberg]]. The land has no permanent settlements with no major features other than the east-west line connecting Latifundia to Valencia.

On August 13, 2019, the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LJWSk4kEheAxvSQjjD1PLSt1nMuYsavQRJJIuQksi3w/edit?usp=sharing Treaty of Kaltsburg] was signed, formally joining the Principality of [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]] to the SPQR and beginning a phase of eastern Roman expansion.

Shortly thereafter, Kaltsburg natives held a referendum on independence, the results showed that while most in Old Kaltsburg wished to be on their own, those in East Kaltsburg has chosen to stay with SPQR. Seeing this it was agreed to let E.Eastern Kaltsburg remain part of Rome, while Prince Deyan was allowed to retain his private residence there. Once the terms had been agreed to, Old Kaltsburg gained it's independence once more.

The arrangement was the formal creation of Eastern Kaltsburg as a Roman Province to be integrated into the SPQR and thatathat a local citizen would become Proconsular Governor of the province, which was renamed in the days afterward to [[Augsburg]] by the Governor [[Muffinman125]]. Augsburg began to grow and develop following the change, and is now one of the fastest developing provinces in the Republic.

=== [[Augsburg]] ===

All former territories of [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]] in the east are organized into the province offof Augsburg, governed by Muffinman125.

The older Kaltsburgian settlements of [[Bonn]], CelebacyCelibacy, and Feneror remained while the newly enfranchised Roman citizens continued to develop their own settlements of Essen, NeiderburgNiederburg, and Calais. At the time the settlements were the most active and the fastest growing in all of the SPQR with many western Romans coming to help build and rebuild in the east under NovaCeasar.

After the integration of [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]] in late 2018, the SPQR formally annexed the bordering territory to the North in January of 2019.

The primary feature of the region being the beautiful city of England with its surrounding farms and facilities. While the natives returned for a time during March and April after the annexation to join the SPQR..., the area then fell back into in-activity and remainswas protected under the SPQR until December 2019.

With no permanent residents Brittania iswas governed by the same authority governing the Province of Augsburg but they revolted in December 2019 when SPQR was experiencing internal troubles.

The S.P.Q.R. has the infrastructure to [[Farming|farm]] melons, cactus, wheat, potatoes, carrots, and nether wart as well as the territories to export nether and desert products. All infrastructure is in a constant state of expansion and being worked on.
