Rome (Latin: Roma), officially the Roman Republic (Latin: Senatus Populusque Romanus), the Senate and the People of Rome, is a nation in southern Europe. As of August 8, 2023, it has 21 citizens.
Rome previously had direct territorial conflicts with France, a dispute which concerned Corsica, which remained unsolved until that nation moved to Ruthenia. It also previously had territorial disputes with Carthage, however that was solved with the Treaty of Malta.
Rome is currently allied with the Mali Empire and is apart of the Catholic Church.
The leaders of Rome are known as the Triumvirate of Rome, in which are Consul vyketype/proto, Quaestor gb, and Praetor XanaxDoctor1. However, the Senate of Rome is also a very powerful organ in the nation.
Territory
As of now, the Roman Republic has laid claim to Italy, Switzerland, Corsica, Austria, the Balearic Islands, Malta, most of Southern France, Greece, Eastern Anatolia, Crete, Cyprus, Bulgaria and a large portion of the Balkans.
History
Formation
The Roman Republic was formed on December 27, 2022 by vyketype/proto, Zenetty and gb, who were all previously members of La République française. They quickly gathered members from the old Turul Empire, including XanaxDoctor1, who would eventually become one of the three Triumvirs.
Treaty of Malta
The Roman Republic and the Empire of Carthage were strong rivals, as they each occupied one coast of the Mediterranean sea. After longtime disputes over Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, Corsica, Eastern Spain and the Balearic Islands, they finally signed the Treaty of Malta on December 29, 2022 with the following articles:
- Corsica is no longer claimed by the Empire of Carthage.
- Iberia is no longer claimed by the Roman Republic.
- Sicily, Sardinia, Malta and the Balearic Islands have been ceded to the Roman Republic.
- Neither the Roman Republic nor the Empire of Carthage may claim Cyprus until Pixlies starts. (This article was overridden sometime later)
- The Roman Republic and the Empire of Carthage maintain friendly relations with each other.
The fifth article would be taken with a grain of salt, as even though both nations would maintain friendly relations with each other, they would still be rivals.

Government
The constitution of the Roman Republic may be found here.
- Triumvirate of Rome
- Consul: vyketype/proto
- Quaestor: gb
- Praetor: XanaxDoctor1
- Senate of Rome (dissolved as of August 7, 2023)
- Triumvirate of Rome
- National Diet of Rome
- First National Diet (January 5-8, 2023)
- Second National Diet (February 2-5, 2023; annuled)
- Third National Diet (July 8-9, 2023)
Before July 9, 2023, the Quaestor position used to be called "Treasurer" and was occupied by Kotori. Due to him being permanently banned from Pixlies, gb took over that position on the same date. Additionally, before August 8, 2023, the Consul position was called "President" and the Praetor position was called "Head of the Armed Forces."
Since August 7, 2023, the Senate of Rome has been dissolved as the only Senators are the three Triumvirs. The Third National Diet failed to elect two Senators (only Zenetty was elected) and on August 7, 2023, Zenetty left the nation.
Political Parties
The three Triumvirs have agreed, as an "unwritten rule," that there shall be no political parties in the Roman Republic. According to them, political parties only divide up the population and create alternative goals by drawing attention away from national goals.
Economy
On January 15, 2023, the Senate of Rome voted to not implement any sales tax, with Senator gb citing, "Taxes are for the weak. If our nation has a high enough approval rating, government-funded projects should not be a problem, as members will readily donate. Resorting to taxes is a reflection of the state and the popularity of a nation itself."
