Chaos 2020
January 1st, 2020
As the world wakes up to a new decade, a quiet tension accompanies it. Continuation of age old policies continue to threaten the fragility of a world already careening down the wrong path. Spiraling debts threaten the sovereignty and livelihood of several nations. Rising nationalist threats have become exponentially relevant and global climate change has forced errant immigration further towards the equator as temperatures continually drop, making the life near the poles less plausible. Reports of a new and dangerous viral infection in the undeveloped world has also given many a cause for concern, as a worldwide pandemic could toss the world into chaos.

[b]Brief History[/b]:Rome, the Republic
Rome.
Hannibal, freshly defeated as Zama, remains fresh in the mind of many back in the Eternal City. Pushed nearly to the brink of defeat, the Republic not only remained as one, but were unified and victorious. The provincia of Sicilia, Sardinia, Corsica, Hispania Ulteria and Hispania Citerior have all been added to the protections and services of the Republic. Her navies rule the sea and her legions are battle hardened. The future of the Republic is limited only by the ambitions of her Great Families and the keen blessings of the Gods.

Her navies rule the sea and her legions are battle hardened. The future of the Republic is limited only by the ambitions of her Great Families and the keen blessings of the Gods.
Rome, the Republic is a faction and nation based roleplay where players take on great, albeit fictional families that seek to expand power into Rome. Whether Rome remains a Republic or not is determined by the actions of the players. Power can be established by hoarding wealth, earning the loyalty of Legions, gaining popularity with the masses and consolidating legislative power within the Senate.
The game begins in 197 B.C., approximately four years after the official defeat of Hannibal of Carthage and the consolidation of former Carthaginian territories into the Republic--specifically the Mediterranean islands of Corscia, Sardinia as well as the coastal territories of Hispania Ulteria and Hispania Citerior.
Each player controls a Faction, which could also be considered a family, though certain characters will not be directly related through blood. The base personality is considered a Character and every Faction begins with 3 randomly generated Characters. During each turn, which represents approximately six month, each player takes a turn assigning a single action for their character.
Additionally, every other turn, their Character will age. Over the age of 50, there is a 10% chance of death every turn. Characters will each have a Popularity rating which determines how popular they are with the Masses, a Wealth rating, indicating how much money they have to spend, an Influence rating if they are in the Senate, as well as can develop traits based on actions taken. There is a Corruption level as well, known only to that player unless revealed through Prosecutions or Events.
Example Character
Mettius Avidius Novellius [44] (Senator) [?]
- Location: Roma.
- Popularity: 5
- Wealth: 14 [+2/Turn]
- Influence: 13
- Trait: Gambler (10% chance every turn of losing 3 Wealth).
