Ulthran Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) The Charter of the Roman Empire Preamble: In ante annis, olim imperium a spodio urbis casis et labore uni viri surget fieri unus maximi potestati in terram. Imperium ob gloria et potestate affectebat crediens fortissime in gravita et industria et dignita. Imperium multos annos abhinc ceciditet multos res occurebat in absentium suum sed iam Romam Imperium iterum surgit. In exemplare veti praedecessi et potestate novi inventi, Romam Imperium appropinquans vincere, subicire, et ducere novam terram. In earlier years, an empire once rose from the ashes of a fallen city and the work of one man to become one of the dominant forces in the world. The empire strove for glory and power believing strongly in the virtues of gravitas, industrias , and dignitas. The empire fell many ages ago and much has happened in its absence but now The Roman Empire (TRE) rises once more. Upon the principles of its ancient predecessor and the power of new technology, The Roman Empire is come to conquer, subjugate, and rule the world anew. Article I: Gravitas- Only the most serious and ambitious Romans can hope to gain a foothold in the harsh world in which we live. The principled can shoot through the ranks of social, political, and military life and will rule with confidence and authority once there. Industrias- One cannot go far in life without working hard to get there. The Greeks see life as a series of rolling hills but a true Roman sees life as an infinitely high mountain needing to be crested. Those who can keep going up will get the closest to success. Dignitas- With strength and fortitude, one can go far in life. However, there comes a point at which one can go no further without the easy grace of nobility. Any Roman plebian aspires to be noble with hard work and ambition while every nobleman aspires to work as hard as the working man. Article II: Citizenship- Any and all are welcome into The Roman Empire but to gain citizenship they must be allowed by the Emperor. To request citizenship, one must first enter The Roman Empire and then make themselves known at the public forums. Soon after this announcement the Emperor himself will welcome the applicant into Rome with full citizenship should they be worthy of such an honor. Promotion- Any Roman citizen has the right to appeal to the Emperor for a place of power in the Senate of Rome. Only those citizens who follow most rigorously to the ideals of The Roman Empire will be granted the position of Senator. That means they must be active in the forums, lucrative in trade, and a prospective for greatness. If deemed to be worthy of this honor, one should hold true to these values with the utmost effort, for none are safe in the Senate and to put an aspiring new Senator in, one dying must be removed at the Emperor’s behest. Should a Senator show themselves to be extraordinarily dedicated to Rome, they may be granted a seat on the High Council of direct advisors to the Emperor. Only five may hold such an esteemed post at any one time. Expulsion- The Emperor holds the sole right to revoke the citizenship of any citizen at any time and for any cause. While this power is to be used sparingly, it is applicable to any situation. The same is true of demotion from the Senate or High Council and even expulsion directly from these venerated ranks. If a citizen is expelled for treason against Rome, they are to be branded an Enemy of Rome (EoR), and will be persecuted against for eternity. The Emperor may excuse a citizen of treason and remove their EoR status if it is necessary. Article III: Civil Rights- Any citizen that is true to Rome is entitled to these rights. These are the only things a Roman citizen has that are inalienable by the Emperor. By law, Roman citizens are allowed Freedom of Speech. Although they may not break the laws set forth by the great Adminus Moderatus, all is allowed to be spoken by any. They are also guaranteed protection by the state if ever they are threatened or attacked. This protection will invoke the full diplomatic powers of the Emperor to come against the attacking nation and their alliance (should they have one). In addition war will be made upon the aggressor by any within range if diplomacy fails to settle the matter satisfactorily and aid will be given to the besieged. Article IV: Defensive War- Should any citizen of The Roman Empire be attacked, the above civil right shall come into effect. Offensive War- Should there be need for a foreign power to feel the wrath of Rome, the legions will be set upon them. Each legion shall consist of 8 citizens led by a general. The general will organize his men for an attack against enemies within their collective strength ranges. I hereby announce the creation of The Roman Empire and my resignation from SCAR.

Joseph Black Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Salutations, You have a fine charter. I suggest a forum and protectorate as well. In these dark times its not advised to go alone. If I can be of assistance to you or the Roman Empire, please do not hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Joseph M.

Ulthran Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Oh did I not put the forums on there? Here they are: http://theromanempire.freeforums.org/index.php As for a protectorate, I was hoping to instead get an MDP or two with larger alliances. I am trying to not have a protector.

WarriorSoul Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 At your size, you'd be better off finding a protector. Signing an MDP at your size (1 nation) doesn't really happen, due to the fact that in the event of a war, asking a one-man AA to jump in is a suicide mission. :P There's no shame in finding a protector. A lot of the larger alliances you see today were once protected by another alliance. It's just part of the cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Harkonnen Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 It'd be very difficult to find a willing partner for any MDP treaties at your size. Right now if you want to survive, you're looking at a protector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulthran Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well the plan atm is to grow. But I see what you're saying. Perhaps a protectorate with the agreement of it turning to an MDP once TRE reaches a certain size... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorSoul Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well the plan atm is to grow. But I see what you're saying. Perhaps a protectorate with the agreement of it turning to an MDP once TRE reaches a certain size... That's typically how it works. You sign a protectorate, then it matures into a two-way treaty once you grow large enough, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulthran Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yeah I'm not making much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Black Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Ulthran, The protectorate agreement really exists for your bennifit. It allows you the protection of a MDP w/o the obligation to follow your protectorate into a loosing war. Once upon a time, alliances at war with your protector might even step in during your protectors rebuilding. Its the communities way of protecting its self from stagnation. I am not a member of the govorning counsel, so I can not offer any guarantee, but visit fellowshipofwolves.com and request a diplomatic mask. I know from personal experience that this community does all it can to ensure the protectorates are successful. Sincerely, Joseph M.

Xavier Harkonnen Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 You know, at this point it's almost best to not post a DoE before you've got a protector. Just an FYI to future micros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
