[edit] Rebuild
After the brief scare on May 26, 2008, (the mass ejection and invitation of people to be the group's owner, the abandoning of the group's land, etc.) New Rome's Emperor Kharne Spyker (Darckk Trilam) has proposed to rebuild Rome, borrowing a sim (Dugley) from MichaelRyan Allen, a high-ranking Roman.
[edit] Founding
New Rome is one of the leading military superpowers on the Teen Grid. It was founded circa the second Gridwide War, also known as the Furry-Human Total War. After the ban of Darckk Trilam, New Rome had a period of governance under Junkfooddog Zwiers, and is now led by the resident Kharne Spyker, allegedly Darckk Trilam.
[edit] History
New Rome was founded by Darckk Trilam shortly before the second Gridwide War, or Furry-Human Total War. New Rome was an aggressive army, developing in the sandbox. They built new technology including many of their signature weaponry, like the Demeto, the Sparus, and the original suit of armor. They also recruited excessively here. They soon engaged the Dragon Honor Army of LEO Damone, and after several battles sabotaged the D.H.A. The Dragon Honor Army returned shortly after as Valkyrie Alliance, however, around this time the second Gridwide War erupted. New Rome sided with the Furry Plateau forces under Reggie Clifton, and their allies, in the war against Black Talon and their allied human armies. At this time, New Rome declared war on Black Talon, creating an ages-old rivalry that exists to this day. The Furry Plateau surrendered after a Black Talon onslaught, and at the end numerous groups were obliterated.
New Rome soon had their first base built in the simulator of Carroll, the Arx Complex. Arx was the sight of many battles, and the aggression with Black Talon and the Valkyrie Alliance multiplied continually. Soon, New Rome built their second headquarters, their most famous one. The Nox Complex in Rowling marked the age of New Rome's actions as a imperialist major army, the apex of their development and power. New Rome then began the third Gridwide War, or the New Roman War. Other enemies soon included Chaos, a army made after the first Gridwide War, British Military, a army developed during the second Gridwide War, and Spartan Empire, a army that had just founded. Adversity soon mounted after the ban of Darckk Trilam, however, and the revival of Black Talon activity. Betrayal from Kion Kuhn led to a period of New Roman depression, as Junkfooddog Zwiers took power as Legatus. New Rome soon incubated for some time, weakened by the loss of Nox Complex. The birth of a loyal ally, [ASR], and coming of the Omnissian Kharne Spyker (Rumored to be Darckk Trilam,) New Rome returned and built their fourth major headquarters, Noctus in Rowling. New Rome now continues to fight Righteous Iron Fist, Black Talon, and Spartan Empire.
A recent truce has been struck in a coordinated effort with major Grid leaders to stomp out the Spartan Remnant forming within the borders of Black Talon. The members of this Coalition include the Roman Empire, Ne'tra, BM, Valkyrie Alliance,Arditi, and ASR, - which constitutes as the first major joint-powers War in Teen Grid History. The group is known as the Grid Factions' Treaty Organization, GFTO.
[edit] Culture
New Rome's culture is based on the concept of the Roman Empire never falling. An imperialistic nation, New Rome's designs were heavily based on the book "The Myriad", a book about the Palatine Empire, a nation representing a never-fallen modern version of Ancient Rome. New Rome is governed by a monarchy form of government, being ruled by the Emperor. New Rome also has been criticized as being anti-religious, based on some of the biases supposedly held by Darckk Trilam. Recently New Rome has taken on a Warhammer 40k-esque feel, with several battlecries and other details making allusions to it.
[edit] Hierarchy
New Rome's ranking system has remained the same for some time. Trainees are called recruits, and civilians are called citizens. New Rome is ruled by an Emperor, or in his stead a Legatus or Omnissiah. Almost all ranks are in Latin; these ranks including Legius, Triarus, Desturion, Centurion, Praetor, and more. The rank for scripters, builders, gunsmiths, and armorers is Mechanicus.
