[The Senate and People of New Rome]

NATION INFORMATION
Nation name: The Roman Empire

National goals: To expand the Empire for the Glory of Rome

Nation's Leader: Caesar Augustus IX

National Government: A mixed bag, it has aspects of both a republic and an absolute monarchy, though it is functionally the latter. The Roman Senate holds sway over most domestic matters while the Emperor exercises sole authority over foreign affairs and the military.

National history: The Roman Empire was formed in 1261, following a series of civil wars in Riverside. The country was united under the leadership of the first Emperor, Gaius I, who proceeded to invade the neighboring state of Imperiat Dominion, fighting for two decades to bring the nation under his control. In 1289, he invaded High Hammer, completing its conquest just before his death in 1301. His son, Gaius II, would invade Rockfell in 1310, conquering it in 1322. In 1330, he would launch an invasion of White Harbor. It would take forty years of fighting to conquer it and it fell in 1375, three years after his death. In 1376, Gaius III died of smallpox, leaving no heir. The Senate appointed Augustus I as the new Emperor in 1377 and in 1385, Augustus would invade Redland, which fell in 1390. In 1400, he invaded Skyhelm, which collapsed under his attacks in 1429. He died a month after the conquest of Skyhelm. Augustus II launched an invasion of Dartmoor in 1440, however it ended in disaster after seven legions were wiped out in the Battle of the Dark Forest in 1457. In 1470, he launched another attempt, though he died three years afterwards. Augustus III would see Dartmoor fall in 1530. In 1545, Augustus III died of fever. Augustus IV invaded Solsthem in 1560 and had the entire country under his control by 1575. Augustus IV died in 1589. Augustus V would launch a series of invasions against the outlying islands of Tamir starting 1610. For the next 260 years, Emperors conquered tiny islands and engaged in trade with nations to the West and South. In 1870, following the death of Augustus VIII, Augustus IX began a policy of aggressive military expansion, particularly of the historically overlooked Roman Navy. His goal was to outshine all of his predecessors by being the first to conquer a land that was not a part of the Tamir Continent.

Territory: Riverside, Imperiat Dominion, High Hammer, Rockfell, White Harbor, Redland, Skyhelm, Dartmoor, Solsthem

Language: Latin, English

National Religion: Imperial cult polytheism

National Culture/Identity: Essentially a 19th century version of Ancient Rome

National Passtime: Gladiator sports

National holiday: The Emperor’s Birthday

Nation's Population: 70,000,000

Allies:

Enemies:

Political issues:

Chance of revolt: Small chance of slave revolt

Greatest Victory: Battle of Lakeshore, where a single cohort held off 40,000 Imperiat troops for ten days in 1270.

Most Embarrassing Defeat: Battle of the Dark Forest, where seven legions were completely wiped out. It is considered the worst loss in Roman history, both in terms of prestige and casualties.

MILITARY STATISTICS

Head General: High Marshall Manius Titus Aegidius

General Staff: Marshall Acilius Glabrio, Marshall Aebutius Elva, Marshall Lucius Barbatio, Marshall Quintus Caecilius Brutus, Marshall Gaius Flavius Maximus, Marshall Lucius Octavius

Military strength:
1. 184,800 legionnaires in 35 legions, 400 Auxiliary cohorts totaling about 200,000 men, 10 Praetorian Guard cohorts for a total of 15,000 men.

Weight: 9.24 lbs
Length: 49.5 inches
Barrel Length: 30.2 inches
Cartridge: .303 Mk. 1
Caliber: .303 inches
Action: Bolt Action
Rate of Fire: 20 rounds per minute
Muzzle Velocity: 2,040 ft/s
Effective Range: 800 yards
Maximum Range: 1,800 yards
Feed System: 8-10 round magazine
Sights: Sliding leaf rear sight, fixed post front sights

Secondary Weapon: Jupiter Single Action Army, Model 1875
(Image)
Weight: 1,048 grams
Length: 12.5 inches
Barrel Length: 7.5 inches
Cartridge: .45 Jupiter
Caliber: .45 inches
Action: Single Action
Feed System: 6-round revolving cylinder
Sights: Blade front sight

Melee Weapon: (Image)

Uniform:
Legion, Ceremonial Dress consists of a red cotton tunic, black cotton trousers with red stripes on the seam, black leather boots, a steel picklehaube with a black cotton cover, and a white leather ammunition bandolier.
Legion, Field Dress consists of a black cotton tunic, black cotton trousers, black cotton boots, a steel picklehaube with a black cotton cover, and a dark leather ammunition bandolier.

Pack gear: 30 kilograms, including 15 days rations, 200 rounds of ammunition for the rifle, and 60 rounds for revolver.

Greatest Strengths: Legionnaires are elite soldiers and expert marksmen.

Greatest Weaknesses: Legions are commanded by aristocrats, usually senators. While this is, sometimes, advantageous, it can also be problematic, as anyone who knows about the Battle of Isandlwhana can attest.

Tactics: Auxiliaries would be used to harass enemy forces on horseback or at range in skirmish lines while the better trained and better equipped legionnaires would be used to mop up the hopefully disorganized enemy.

Specialty: Fortifications. Each legionnaire is also a combat engineer, capable of erecting powerful fortifications if given enough time. Give a legion a day at the top of a hill, only the best equipped army will force the off. Give them a week, no army will force them from it.

Specialty: Fast horses and skilled riders make for highly mobile soldiers

[Skarten]

I dun understand

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Type_U_93_submarine Skarten says he can have this U-boat in 2-3 months when I waited a full year IC between starting development and launching my own submarine, which is based on the Plunger class.

I said i needed 2-3 months to add minor things.
Which already existed.

If by minor you mean a 2,400 horsepower gasoline engine and a 1,200 horsepower electric motor, then yeah. Minor AND IMPOSSIBLE. Not to mention that U-boats of this size and speed won't be built until 1915 so until like 1905 at the earliest. Get an earlier design. Like the Holland.

[The Imperial Warglorian Empire]

A new Roman Empire and the World has engaged in a sudden armed peace.

That being said, it's quite laughable that your three ships are getting into a battle with state of the art Warglorian warships

for the 18th century!

Well, since most destroyers have a single 76mm gun and a few smaller guns, the larger wooden ships have a chance. Destroyers have virtually no armor.
