Early History
Western Rebellion
After an attempt to sow dissent amongst the Eastern Monarchy is discovered, Marcellus Caesar is stripped of his title on accounts of treason. The former Caesar of the West declared himself in rebellion, and asserted sovereignty over Rome. After refusing to comply with the return of the town, he was declared an enemy of the state and purged from the discord, along with many of his supporters.

The nation used to have provinces as a subdivision, however that has changed. The senate voted to go from federal organization to a more unitary one. This change discontinued Governors, therefore rendering provinces impractical.

Foreign Relations
Friendly Relations
Bulgaria
We've known them for a while and get along well. There was a crisis over the town of Krasnodar which they let in but it has been resolved now
Romania
There have been clashes over the town of Aegyssus on the Danube but we've reached an agreement on borders and thus, we've become much friendlier as of late
Italia
With Italia now being recognized by us as the western half of our empire and their leader as an Augustus, it is safe to say we've become good allies despite our very shaky initial relations. I'm a huge fan of cities like Venice and Roman/Italian architecture so going to their country is always a treat.
Nazi Germany
I helped to fund the creation of their state and I like the ambition that Hitlar has for Berlin, still, some of their citizens have been rowdy and acted aggressively towards us so my thoughts on Nazi Germany are mixed. I hope that we can improve relations in the future though
