SPQR (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

| data4 = [[NovaCeasar]]Mark_Antony

TheTRhe S.P.Q.R. (''Senate and People of Rome'') is 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 [[Civcraft 1.0]] in January of 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 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 [[CivclassicCivClassic]].

SPQR was occupied for much of the later half of the Infinity War and severely obby bombed by pro-NATO fighters however, after the fall of Best Western and Litterbox SPQR was successfully liberated by coalition forces and returned to their homelands to begin a long cleanup process. Today SPQR belongsis toa member of the UDF alliance.

NovaCeasarMark Antony currently presides over the Government as Princeps in perpetuity with many key functions reserved to ensure stability and continuity, perhaps the most important function of the Princeps being the enrollment and expulsion of Senators. In practice almost all administration is carried out by the two Consuls and the Senate.

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 (such as [[Kaltsburg-Leuven]] during its brief time in the SPQR, or Brynley before it throughout most of [[Civcraft 2.0]]).

While Rome holds no enemies by name it does insist on remaining neutral in the ongoing [[NATO-Mir War]], 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]].

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.

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.

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

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.
