The Roman Empire

The Roman Empire (Βασιλεία Ῥωμαίων, Basileia Rhōmaiōn), commonly known as Rhomania (Ῥωμανία,Rhōmanía) by its inhabitants is the christianised, hellenic continuation of the classical Roman state of Julius and Augustus Caesar. The Empire includes most of the Balkan and Italian peninsulas, as well as Anatolia, the western Transcaucasus, Tauris (Crimea), the Levant, and Egypt.

The Empire is a theoretically autocratic monarchy, that is in practice governed by a Senate which operates under the Psaran system, with its seat of government in the Imperial capital of Constantinople. It is divided into sixty three semi-autonomous Themata and three "Grand Duchies", in addition to extensive overseas holdings, primarily located around the Indian Ocean.

Rhomania is a highly developed state, being one of the first to industrialise, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. It is widely recognised as one of a handful of global superpowers with huge economic, political, millitary and religious influence. Its millitary spending is ranked at third in the world, while its space programme is widely thought to be the most expensive on the planet.
