Establishment of the Omnimodus Pax Romana

This is my first story, it is in RFC RAND

High Earth Likeness (with a slight modification to "Italy" on the map)
Monarch Difficulty (modified to have much lower inflation and upkeep costs)
Modification: No global warming from nukees.
(No, I am not that good of a player)

I do not know how to post the larger pictures, so I will use thumbnails.
This is inspired by all the RFC stories I have seen recently:

Here it goes:

Teacher: Good day class, and welcome to World History 101. Out first topic... is Rome. This part of the course will cover the rise of the mighty nation of Rome and how it reached its position of global dominance in the late 1900's, almost 200 years ago, but not how this position has been maintained, that is a future lesson.

Our story begins with the king of the Roman people, Marcus Magnus, founding the city of Roma. He ordered a great lighthouse to be constructed to celebrate the new city and all he believed it would go on to achieve. See figure 1 for a computer model of this.

Expansion over the Italian Penninsula began immediately, to the south, villagers were contacted, and they, under their leader Chief Alaric, agreed to guard the new Roman settlement of Neapolis. Image 2 on your screens displays this.

To the west Rhegium was founded to acess the rich metal desposits in the region. Rome's first contact was with the Greek people, who were friendly enough. Peaceful relations followed. To the east, a hostile village was encountered by a legion sent to explore. See image number 3 please.

Student: Wait a second, Rhegium was too far away to acess the copper and gold, why was it founded there?

Teacher: Marcus Magnus had great foresight, he knew that in time, the settlement would be able to acess all of the resources of the region, as well as the sea. This idea was applied by his successors throughout time, and is still used today on our colonies in Alpha Centurai.

Where was I? Oh yes, the hostile village. The Roman legions were far superior to the barbarian military in dicipline and supply, and they were easily defeated. For a picture of this battle, see image number 4.

This military success, though small, was the first battle fought be the Romans. Naturally, it was exagurated by those that spoke of it, and this made the Romans considered to be the third most powerful civilization in the world at the time, according to the historian Livy. See image 5.

The lighthouse whose construction was started by Marcus Magnus was completed around this time. The architect was Marcellus Maximus. Materials were imported from the arcoss the empire and its neighbors. It was an extremely effective method of navigation in ancient times, and it increased Roman trade by a significant degree. Merchants from around the Mediterranean Sea came to see the lighthouse and trade. The lighthouse still stands today, and is currently a museum. Image 6 contains a good picture of the lighthouse.

As the calander did not exist in Rome yet, we only know the order of events, but not their exact dates. We do know that a medical plant or herb was discovered after the lighthouse's completion and that extensive tests were done to implement it. The scienntist that discovered it was called Julianus Flavius. He laid the foundation for modern medicne, and doctors today still take the Flavian Oath. The origin of this plant and its use in treatment has been attributed by modern historians to the trade that passed through the empire, introducing new ideas and methods of doing thiings. Image 7.

Here we have a strange occourance, artisans refusing to continue to work. The reigning king, Romulus Tiberius, was a very supersticious man, and he wanted an oracle built to consult with. But about halfway through its construction, the srtisand working on it felt that its artistic value had been lost, that it was somehow less origional. An artisan, whose name has been lose, wrote:

For months my fellow artisans and I have laboured on this great monument, toiled to build [the king's] greatest monument. But suddenly, where satisfaction with the work once was, only emptiness remains, we cannot continue.

Image 9 contains a map of the world known by the Romans, it was drawn by Julius Crassus. The Romans could have easily expanded into this territory, but at the time, expansion was not valued. The mindset of the leaders and people was that the land was not worth the effort, that they already controlled the best land there was. This would later have huge consequences for the Roman Empire.

The explorer Augustus Varro describes a settlement off the Roman and Greek boarder, inhabited by people called Celts. The settlement was called Ak Ink, better known to all of you as Aquincum. See image 10.

In the year 110, calander has been obtained from a distant people, the religion Christanity emerged. It-

BUZZZZZZZZZ

Well, that's all the time for today, homework is to review your notes, there will be a test once this unit has been completed.

Student: *whispering* Can you believe this guy? This is soooo boring, we all know that Rome dominates the world-we live in the capital after all!

Teacher: Welcome back class. I trust everybody studied? Well, where was I? Hmmmmmm.... Oh yes! The emergance of Christanity.

Christanity emerged in the year 110, in the city of Neapolis. Now, do you remember the village that existed before the Romans came? Well, this was their religion. It had remained secret for many years because the villagers were not sure if the pagan Romans would accept them if they knew they practiced a different religion. But in 110, that changed, the secret rituals were discovered; and the Roman people eagerly embraced the religion. It even reached into government and became the state religion under the king Gnaeus Claudius. It spread beyond Rome to Carthage and Egypt because of the trade promoted by the Great Lighthouse. See image 11.

(As a note to the reader, if I have offended you with the portion about the emergance of religion I am sorry, I used aspects of the story so far to attempt to present a historical sounding explanation, and I mean no offence)

In 455, the Carthaginians declared war on Rome, starting the Punic War. The accounts of this declaration are often biased in favor of the Romans, but it is commonly accepted today that the Carthaginians were jealous of Roman trading dominance, and sought to conquer them. Rome at this time had never fought a war, only a few scattered battles against semi-nomadic peoples, and as a result, it had a small military. See image 12.

In the year 575, a great church was constructed in Roma under the orders of the king Lucius Julius, called the Hagia Sophia. He was not aware of the dangers posed by the Carthaginians. The architect Claudius Auerillius constructed it with such efficiency that all workers in the empire adopted his labour saving techniques, that remained in place until the coming of the steam engine. In Neapolis Claudius Auerillius constructed the Apostolic Palace, under Lucius Julius' orders. Lucius Julius wanted to unify Christanity, and saw this as a key step in doing so; however, his dream quickly took on a political rome to serve Rome's interests. See images 13 and 14.

Lucius Julius died soon after, and his sucessor was Nero Suetonius. He was a military-minded ruler, and he conquered the Carthaginian stronghold of Hippo, renaming it Hippo Regius. Upon doing so, he took the title "imperator" meaning "victorious general" and reformed the government to an empire, becoming an emperor instead of a king. He also organized religion in his reforms, claiming some extent of divine right. After the conquest of Hippo Regius, a peace was negociated with Carthage, in which 165 talents were to be paid to Rome.

The conquest of Hippo Regius warrents further study, as it was the first conquest of a foreign city by Rome. There was a carefully laid out battle plan:
First the Roman atrillary, catapults called onagers, smashed the defenses into rubble.

Next, the artillary attacked the defenders, causing heavy casualties, but losing many crewmen due to a sally by the defenders.

Then the infantry advanced. The first legion was lost, but the following ones butchered the defenders. Some Germanic auxillary soldiers, fighting with large axes, caused fear in the Carthaginian ranks. Finally, the triarii spearmen advanced and finished off the defenders. The city was occupied, with pillaging of the homes of the now dead defenders, and Roman culture works were held to assimilate the population. See image 15.

This war had more consequences than just the defeat and destabilizaton of a foreign power, it was the beginning to Roman looking outwards, the beginning of thoughts like "Hey, maybe that land out there isn't so bad after all!". However, such thoughts were still young. An academy was established in Roma at this time to celebrate the end of war with knowledge. This is the same academy you are currently in.

Now let us shift our focus to the semi-nomadic people to the north. They had been settling down while the Romans and Carthaginians fought. The Romans took no interest in them at first, until a group called the Dutch settled. They settled close to the Roman boarder, and immigrants swarmed into Roman land, and claimed it for themselves. This sparked a war, as shown in image 16.

Even as this happened in Rome's western holdings, the large Sistine Chapel was constructed in Roma, by an architect whose name eludes us. This shows that arts can still esist during wartime.

At the time of this war, the emperor was Gaius Attius. He began extravagant building projects in Roma, and recruited heavily from other regions of the Empire to fight the Dutch. This caused discontene withen the army, that their emperor was so unfair, and many soldiers deserted to the Dutch as a result.

When Gaius Attius died in 1020, a new emperor took the throne-

Student: No, really? A new emperor? I never saw that coming...

Teacher: You, go to the principal's office, now.

*student leaves, others laugh at him*

So, in 1030, there was a new emperor Constantius Dio. He abandoned construction of Gaius Attius' Norte Dame and started to recruit from Roma. He agreed to open boarders with Carthage in order to get a fleet to blockaid the Dutch coast. He also changed the organization of the state to be feudal in nature, due to the war and the need for good recruits. Also at this time, Carthage fell into civil war. It is suspected that Constantius Dio ordered the monarch of Carthage assassinated, because he had many possible successors and an unstable country; but we simply do not know. See image 18.

These military endevors were continued after his death, in 1070, a legion that had deserted was beaten, and all prisoners were executed. In 1030, plague broke out around the world. In 1140 the Dutch capital was captured and occupied, as shown in image 19.

In 1160, the fleet sent to blockaid the Dutch was defeated, but such a setback was minor and only prolonged the inevitable at this point. The city of Rotterdam, more of a fortress actually, was conquered in 1210. The defense was led by the great general Leonidas, but it was a lost cause. Rotterdam was razed, the first time the Romans had burned down a captured city. See image 20

BUZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well, that's the bell, review your notes again, be back here tomorrow.

Student: *whispering to another student*Didn't they make a movie about that Leonidus guy?

Other Student: *whispering back*Yeah, I think so.

Teacher: Welcome back, yesterday we left off with the conquest of Rotterdam. Today will start with Rome's first vassal stare.

In the year 1260, the kingdom of Mali asked to become a vassal state under Roman rule, and was accepted. This is the first time diplomatic means were used to completely dominate a kingdom rather than war. It shows how Roman leaders were adapting to the idea that not everything could be solved with a sword.

In 1290, war was declared on a kingdom in Iberia, Portugal. It had taken control of former Carthaginian lands and settled western Ibreia. This is shown in image 21.

Image 22 shows the conquest of the Portuguese capital, Lisboa.

And image 23 shows the retreat of Roman forces to a nearby fortress and the founding of the settlement of Arretium. Roman expansion had truely started by this time.

Another example of Roman expansion is the oceangoing explorations of the 1300's. A ship in 1330 reached a new land, and made contact with those living there. Diseases were accidently introduced by the sailors to the native population, who had no immunity. The sailors believed that the land they had found was full of disease, and left quickly. This is shown in image 24.

In the year 1350, the once strong state of Persia decended into civil war, but this did little to affect Rome, so it will not be covered any further.

In 1370, the English, a people from the island of Britannia, founded a city in Iberia. The Romans declared war and conquered Bristol, renaming it Eburicum. The Romans chose this time for two reasons: the first was because their army was in the area and the city was lightly defended. The other was because England's vassal Japan revolted, meaning that the war would be against only 1 foreign power. See image 25.

Peace was established in 1400. England was forced to pay 20 talents, all map information, and1 talent tribute every 10 years for 100 years.

In 1410, the Portuguese city of Oporto was taken and razed, through extensive use of cannons and macemen. The use of such non-traditional soldiers meant that the Romans were open to new ideas. After this, a peace settlement was reached with Portugal: 20 talents payment, map information, and 1 talent every 10 years for 100 years. See image 26.

The general who masterminded the conquest of Iberia was Cnaius Julius. Upon returning to Roma, he celebrated his victory in a lavish parade, displaying all of the wealth and prisoners he had obtained. He called this parade a triumph.

In the year 1435, Portugal collapsed, with such loss of territory and payments to Rome, its government could not retain control, and it entered anarchy.

If you look at image 27, you will see the invasion and conquest of the capital of France. This began in 1475 under the emperor Flavius Nero, who sent his general Marcus Hadrian to conquer France. The invasion took Lyon, renamed Lugdunum, and pushed onward to Paris, taken and razed in 1545. Around this time, to celebrate victories, the Church of the Nativity was constructed in Neapolis in 1490.

In 1590, the secondary capital of France, Marseille, was taken and razed; shown in image 28. Peace was established in 1595, France had to pay 20 talents and give map information. Peace was also established with Japan, another people on Britannia, that had declared war on the Romans but did little to pursue the war; they had to pay 80 talents for the peace.

Marcus Hadrian was hailed as a hero for these victories and conquests, he founded Pisae between the ruins of the two capitals and encouraged people to settle there, giving out land. This increased his popularity further. Image 29

Time is almost up for today, 1 last thing: In 1620, if you look at image 30, you will see the Congress of Ur, the first world congress held. The English asked for the Roman city of Eburicum, and the vote was 'yes' by most of the nations invited. Rome refused the decision, and war with England and Greece followed.

Homework is to read pages 123-125 about the workings of the World Congresses.

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Student: *whispering to another student* I wonder how the congresses were decided...

Other Student: *whispering back* I think that the strongest nations were invited to vote on what cities were exchanged between themselves.

Teacher: Welcome back once again class. Today's lesson will focus on the time period from 1625 until 1870. During this time Rome went from a significant power to the nation that dominated the globe.

Class: *various questions*

Teacher: Wait, wait; all of these questions will be answered in the lesson. Let's begin.

The year 1625 was the year when the remnants of France fell into civil war, the loss of much of its territory and the heavy payments to Rome were too much for the government to handle. Such decents into civil war are common throughout history.

The invasion of Greece also began at this time. Greece was a world leader at the time, though it was showing signs of decay. It came to be known as the "sick man" of Europe because of this. Greece and Rome had, for centuries, been in a "friendly" competition with each other. There was no apparent desire for war, but each wanted to do better than the other in some way. Because Greece was older than Rome, it focused on cultural, intellectual, and economical developement, but neglected expansion to match it. The Romans, after a time, focused on military expansion, and less so on other aspects of civilization unless they supported this.

So, the invasion... General Fabius Brutus was appointed to lead the army. He was a respected and able commander, and knew what he had to do to win. This is an excerpt from his war plans:

The Greeks, being unstable and with a largely untrained and ill-equiped military, must be defeated with the quality of our soldiers, as they can win through a drawn out war... our government is not established with room for significant military defeat as an option. To win, we must take cities quickly and hold them, the instability of the Greek government should then be enough to destroy them, sending them into civil war; where out conquest will be made much easier. It is believed that they are beginning to use new military technologies... we must develope measures to counter this, and try not to rely on the large number of antiquated soldiers that form the majority of their army to dilute this power.

Click to expand...

As you can tell, each side had advantages and disadvantages, the determining factor was where the war would be fought: Rome had never been invaded to any significant degree, so it had an offensive strategy; and Greece's government could not handle the loss of territory.

In 1650, the Greek boarder town of Miletos was captured and razed by the Romans. At this time, a resolution by the Apostolic Palace forced peace between Rome and England, much to Rome's benefit, as it could not focus on Greece.

In 1655, plague broke out in Spain, but it did not spread much beyond there.

Image 31 shows a picture of the Statue of Liberty, built in Roma in 1675 by the people, who wanted to celebrate their quality of life brought on by Roman rule.

1675 saw the capture of Knossos in Greece. It was a small town, but it contained a large portion of the Greek army. The defeat of the army and the razing of the city went a long way in destabalizing Greece.

At this time, a new method of fighting was adopted by the Greeks: cuirassiers. They were cavalry units that were armed with superior rifels. They caused many deaths withen the Roman army. With the improvement of guns by the Romans, and the adoption of rifels instead of muskets and maces, the cuirassiers were effectively neutralized.

Image 32 shows the capture of Argos, it occupied. Notice the ruins near it, those were the towns burned by the Romans. Argos was captured in 1703.

Remember the plague outbreak in Spain? Well, it started to spread. In 1715 it reached Edo in Japan.

1718. Remember this date. This is the year the monarchy was overthrown by Tiberius Gracchus and replaced with a democratic government. Universal Sufferage, Emancipation, Free Market, Free Speech, along with a militeristic expansion policy, were all adopted.

1727 saw the Congress of Istanbul, in which the Greeks recieved the Babylonian city of Kesh, Babylon recieved the Chinese city of Yangzhou, China recieved the Mongolian city of Kasgur, and the English recieved the Viking city of Oslo.

1745, this was the year Greece fell into civil war. Rome was not the superpower of the world, and only becoming stronger. During the plague, Rome had recruited many new soldiers. War with Germany was coming. The Germans had refused to allow Roman soldiers to pass through their land to finish off the Greeks, and the Roman people wanted revenge. A diary of an unknown roman citizen exemplifies the general feeling of the time:

The Germans refused reasonable demands of open boarders. Why would they do that? It would also open trade I believe. [My friend] Valens thinks that they are going to invade us! If that is so, we must attack first...

Click to expand...

War did come, the Romans invaded Germany in 1760. Unlike previous times, there was not 1 general, but a council of them. This reflected the new democratic organization principals of Rome's government. They would discuss strategy before a battle, and take individual control of portions of the line, this was effective as long as the generals either got along well, or if they were educated enough to overcome their differences. In this case, both conditions were met.

Image 33 shows the conquest of Munchen, it was razed to prevent the Germans from ever regaining control of the boarder, even if Rome lost the war.

Now, remember the Celtic settlement of Ak Ink? Well, Germany conquered it, and renamed it Budapest. The Romans then conquered it in 1793 and renamed it Aquincum. Image 34.

A military academy was established at Rhegium. One of the generals had been wounded in battle, and decided to teach the next generation of leaders. This time also saw the golden age of the Senate and People of Rome.

The city of Artaxata was taken in 1793. The Germans had many cannons and other artillary in the city, so the Romans attacked as quickly as possible. The city was razed. See image 35.

Image 36 shows the World Congress of 1802 in Brisbane. Mali, Rome's vassal, recieved Egyptian Per-Wadjet, and England recieved Russian Astrakhan.

Berlin, known to you as Berolinum, was taken in 1805 after a massive artillary bombardment. Shown in image 37.

A side attack was made around this time on Korinthos. It was captured and renamed Corinthus. The German garrison was weakened by rioting. Image 38 shows its conquest.

In 1829, a plague began in Germany. Romans were safe though, because the perfection of medicne, and the attack continued.

1835: Germany collapses under the combined weight of invasion, loss of land, and plague. Image 39 shows the divided Germany.

1844 saw the resurgance of plague, Rome was, once again, safe.

In 1858, Rome succeeded in unifing Germany, Hamburgum had Roman cultural works to bring the population into Roman rule easily and peacefully. To see a map, look at the one in your textbooks labeled "The Province of Germania", on page 245.

Also during this time, Athenae, the former Greek capital, was captured and razed; the ruins of its great Norte Dame are still visited today.

Also in 1858, Persia re-emerged from civil war, and came to be a unified country again.

In 1866, the World Congress was held in Gaza. This is shown in image 40. In it, England recieved Russian Rostov-na-Dono, Arabia recieved Egyptian Henen-Nesut, China recieved Mongolian Nanjing, and Mongolia recieved Russian Ilion.

1870, this is the year industrialism began. Rome began to construct factories, and weapon improvements were made. Production levels soared to unpresidented levels, as did pollution. This will be important for tomorrow's lesson.

That is all for today, homework is to review all of the notes taken so far, the unit is almost half over. You may talk amognst yourselves until the period ends.

*students begin talking*

BUZZZZZZZZ

Teacher: welcome back, today's lesson might run a little late, so your homework for the weekend is to read the chapter up to the point we cover. Here we go.

In 1874, Roma constructed the Channel Tunnel, called the Chunnel, in order to better facilitate scientific knowledge across the Gulf of Neptune to the south. This is shown in image 41.

1876 was the year of the Roman conquest of Rhodos from Babylon, destabalizing the already falling apart empire. Image 42.

1878 saw the collapse of Rome's enemy: Babylon. Babylon had grown strong in Mesopotamia, and had taken some of the former Greek cities, which was the cause of conflict.

(As a note to the reader, I recieved the "wounded soldiers" peace event that turn... AFTER they collapsed! Image 43 )

In 1880, airships scouted the collapsed Babylonian Empire; image 44 shows this map.

Urushalim, now known as Aelia Capitolina, was taken in 1882, with little resistance due to the constant fighting around it. It was the Jewish holy city, and was partially taken to make Roman rule more appealing to the Greeks.

(As a note to the reader, if I have offended you with the portion about the conquest of a holy city I am sorry, I used aspects of the story so far to attempt to present a historical sounding explanation, and I mean no offence)

In the year 1888, the former French city of Burdigala asked to be accepted into Rome, the citizens were acceptes, but the city was destroyes to ensure loyalty.

A great artistic achievement occoured in Roma in 1890: Mount Rushmore. The four greatest Romans were carved into the mountains: Marcus Magnus, the first king of the Romans; Nero Suetonius, the first emperor; Constantius Dio, the creater of feudalism and militarism; and Tiberius Gracchus, the creator of the democracy. Image 45 shows this.

Image 46 shows the offer of vassal status by Russia, the nation that boardered Rome to the northeast. Russia had taken on too many wars, but was acepted. Peace was made with the new enemies as soon as possible, except for a few that Rome wanted to conquer.

Egypt was attacked in 1896. The reason for this was to train the army, and help relieve pressure on unstable Mali. Khaset, a small town, was captured and razed in this year. A militia emerged from the populace, as shown in image 47.

Neapolis in 1900 built Wembly, a popular place for sporting events, a photo is shown in image 48.

1904 was a year of two important events: 1, the construction of the Pentagon in Lugdunum was completed, shown in image 49, it was built to serve as a was to imporve the military, because of all of the wars Rome was fighting. The strategy was to hold the line everywhere, and move the attacking army around, disabling 1 opponent at a time. The other important event was the capture and burning of the Egyptian capital.

(Note to the reader: I accidently pressed the occupy button, I meant to raze it, and did so in WorldBuilder)

There was a World Conference in Kharakhorum in 1906, it was the last one to be held before the United Nations Abolished them in 1940. Mali recieved Indian Cochin, and Russia recieved an independent city-state: Larsa. The fact that only vassals of Rome recieved cities was yet another event that showed Rome's growing influence, even among the strongest countries. The congress also sparked a world war, the congress is shown in image 50. Also at this ti-

BUZZZZZZZZZ

Students: What? What else happened?

Teacher: You'll have to wait until Monday to find out. Enjoy the weekend!

Teacher: Welcome back. Where did I leave off before?

Students: The Congress of Kharakhorum!

Teacher: Ahh, yes; I remember now.

Well the second thing that happened in 1916, as shown in image 51, is that the Eiffel Tower was built in Roma. Not what you were expecting huh? Well this was the tower that started the radio towers in every major city, which were the prototypes of today's instant mobile communication units.

1918 was the year that a peace treaty was signed with the United States, the price? 230 talents, map information, and 7 talents every 2 years for 20 years. Egypt at this time also collapsed.

2 years later, a treaty was negociated with Spain: map information and 5 talents every 2 years for 20 years.

In 1924, construction of the Cristo Redentor in Amsterdan was completed, as shown in image 52. The architects were very wasteful in what they spent money on, so extreme was it that the government took control over the economy in the very same year.

It was known by this time that the Roman economy and industry needed oil. The best nearby source was in Britannia, the home of England and Japan. To conquer this island, a blockaid was established, to cause starvation and instability. See image 53. The Roman navy used advanced destroyers, powered through uranium, to defeat the coal-powered ironclads of the Japanese and British.

The next significant occurance was the construction of Graceland in Berolinum, in the year 1926. This is in image 54.

1932, this is the year the possibility of nuclear war started, the Manhattem Project was constructed in Arretium, as seen in image 55. The scientists, after working on it and seeing the power of it, were consumed with guilt about the weapon they had created. One scientist, broadcasting on radio during the testing of the first nuclear explosion, said:

On today, July 15, 1932, we test the first nuclear warhead, in the hope that it will deter wars on the scale recentle experienced by nations arount the globe... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....*a large explosion is heard*........... What have we done?....

Click to expand...

As you can tell, nobody expected such a deadly explosion.

Two years later, in 1934, the Mongolian city of Ilium was captured and razed. It posed a danger to Roman boarder security, and the hope was that Mongolia would surrender. There were few defenders in the city, and the belief was that Mongolia's extensive boarders could not all be defended. See image 56.

Two achievements occoured in 1936: England collapsed under the pressure of the blockaid, and in Mongolia the small city of Khlkh Gol was razed. See image 57.

The United Nations was established in the midst of this fighting, image 58, 1940. This was the same year the first nuclear missile was used in war; against Ethiopia, image 59.

This encouraged Japan to break free from being Ethiopia's vassal, and peace was then made with Ethiopia and its remaining vassal, the Incas. The Ethiopians had to pay map information, 30 talents, and 8 talents per year for 10 years.

Image 60: this is a picture of Britannia before Roman conquest.

BUZZZZZZZZZ

OK, homework is to review your notes again.

Student: *whispering* I bet you my lunch money tomorrow that Mongolia gets nuked.

Other Student: *also whispering* I accept!

Teacher: We continue today with the time between 1942 and 1953, much happened in these years.

In 1942, Hollywood was constructed in Corinthus, today it is the place that makes holo-films, but back then it made 2-dimensional movies. Image 61

1945: This is the year that Rome got revenge for the slaughter of its army. Nuclear missles were detonated over the Mongolian city of Bukhara, image 62, the capital of Kharakhorum, image 63, Jaroslavl, image 64, and both Amarbayusgalant and Lhasa with 1 missle, image 65.

In 1946, Rome signed an alliance with the powerful nation of China; and in 1947 Rome's president became the Secretary-General of the Unnited Nations. Image 66.

In 1948, India agreed to a peace treaty with Rome, paying 170 talents, map information, and 2 talents every year for 10 years.

Nuclear missles were then dropped on the following places: Ulaan-Ude, image 67; Samarquand, image 68; and a Mongolian army and Bukara, image 68.

This was followed by a nuclear strike on Kharakhorum from a base in Carycin, as shown in image 69. This forced Mongolia to catipulate and become a vassal of Rome.

The United Nations then passed its first resolution: a singal global currency. In resolution #104, the Roman currency was adopted by the entire world, syimulating trade. See image 70.

BUZZZZZZZZZZ

Wow, perfect timing, homework is to read about the devestation done to Mongolia during the war, textbook pages 312-318.

Student: *whispering* Told you, pay up!
Other Student: *also whispering* Fine.

Teacher: Good day, the lesson will begin immediately.

A nuclear missle was dropped on the Arabian cities of Qarta and Kerkouane, image 71, forcing a peace treaty in which the Arabians paid 50 talents, map information, and 8 talents each year for 10 years.

As for the conquest of Britannia, it wenr well, but the Japanese capital of Kyouto had tough defenders, so a nuclear missle was launched to kill them, image 72.

In 1955, peace was made with Khmer, they paid 20 talents map information and 2 talents each year for 10 years.

Also at this time, nuclear missles were launched at the United States, hitting Boston and Providence, as shown in image 73. Peace was established in 1957, costing the Americans 80 talents, map information, and 6 talents a year for 10 years, this also made peace with the Aztec vassals of America.

Image 74 shows the completed conquest of Britannia, except for a small spanish colony.This finally gave the Romans acess to oil, used for airplanes and tanks. Nothing could stand in the way of the Roman war machine not, and the nation knew it.

In 1959, U.N. resolution #503 was passed, open markets, allowing trade with all foreign cities. 75.

1963: the year the internet was created "in" Lugdunum. It is the basis for the interplanetary communications you know now. Image 76.

1963, even more important than the internet is the Apollo Program, the first human venture into space, its effects are obvious: the beginnings of intersteller colonization.

Parsa, the Persian capital, was then hit with a nuclear missle, image 77; and Persian Lagash was also hit, image 78.

In 1966, the Roman vassal Mali fell into civil war, nothing could be done to help, there were too many wars.

1967 is the year the United Ststes was invaded. War was declared, and a large war against Egypt, Khmer, India, Ethiopia, Arabia, and Spain followed because of it.

Sydney was hit with a nuclear missle, see image 79.

Image 80 shows the landing and capture of Sydney.

BUZZZZZZZZZ

Wow, time flies when Rome is being discussed huh? No homework today, be in class promptly tomorrow.

Student: *whispering* No homework, strange...

Other Student: *also whispering* I think it's a trick, I'm going to study anyway.

Teacher: Hello class, let's start right away, OK?


Sevilla, a Spanish city, was hit with a nuclear missle; the intention was to weaken them by killing off much of the population. This is shown in image 80.

Image 81 shows the dropping of a nuclear missle over Mayan capital Yax Mutal and city Xukpi.

Image 82 shows, yet another nuclear missle, dropped on Indian Dilli and Chittagong.

Image 83, at last some change! This is a picture of the Three Gorges Dam, located in Roma. It provides power for the entire European contenient, with virtually no toxic or harmful byproducts! It really set an example for the world at the time, before cold fusion had been developed.

Back to the explosions: image 84 shows the nuking of Spanish city Barcelona and capital Madrid.

At this time, the Spanish colony in Britannia, Campeche, was taken, and Britannia was unified under Roman rule.

This next image, 85, shows the nuking of the Mayan cities Lakamha, Oxhuitza, and Chichen Itza; all with 1 missle.

Image 86 shows more nuking of cities: Makkah and Al-Madinah.

*sigh* And there are still more nuclear missles in image 87, at Malaga and Santander.

In 1976, Arabia agreed to a peace treaty, paying 20 talents, a world map, and 7 talents every year for 10 years.

And there was more use of nuclear missles, on the three cities: Prey Nokor, Yasodharapura, and Chaudoc. Image 88.

Although this portion of history is tiresome and repetive, the various nuclear detonations were important. They decreased the populations of various nations, so that of Rome was a greater percent of the world. Population helps to win wars and dominate industry, but it is not entirarily dependent on the absolute number of people, it is also dependent of the ratio when compared to other countries. The Romans knew this, and exploited their technology to benefit themselves.

Image 89 shows the conquest of the American heartlands, achieved through elite mechanized infantry, airal bombings, and a few main battle tanks.

*the class starts talking excitedly*

Teacher: Ah! Here we go! The official announcement of Roman global domination: image 90!

Some more information is shown in images 91, 92, and 93.

BUZZZZZZZZ

Class dismissed, be ready for that test tomorrow!

Student: *Whispering* What is the test on? I slept through each class?

*The other students look at him strangely and then laugh*

Wow, that was a lot of typing! Hope you enjoyed it!

Excellent story! As always, RFC stories are truly epic and interesting to read through.

Edit: I think that 2 points per question and 50 points for the essay is a good way of counting score, or 4 points per question if the essay is not done.

Edit2: Newer score system below.

22 points for the essay, that way it is out of 50

(test revised into Part I, Part II, and Essay parts)

So 1 point per Part I question, 2 for each Part II question, and 22 points for the essay.

Part I

_____/20

Part II

_____/8

Essay

_____/22

Total:

_____/50
