Romaia (Greek: Ρωμανία), officially the Romaian Empire (Greek: Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορία), is a country consisting of a plato delimited by mountaneous catenaries. Romaia is located in Southern Estaria. The country covers a total are of 2012031 km² (776849,5 sq mi) and shares land borders with Euganeia and TBA. With around 60 million inhabitants, Romaia is the [TBD]-most populous state of Estaria. Due to its central geographical location in Southern Estaria, Romaia has historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures. In addition to the various ancient peoples dispersed throughout modern Romaia, the most predominant being the Indo-European Greek peoples, beginning from the Bronze Age, Greeks (Mycenaeans) established settlements in the Eastern Romaia, while Celts and Italics inhabited western and northern Romaia respectively. A Greek tribe known as the Dorians formed the Aistarian Union in the [century BC]. The Aistarian Union initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Eastern and Northeastern Estaria, eventually expanding and conquering western and northern parts of Estaria. Romaia remained the homeland of the Greeks and the metropole of the empire, whose legacy can also be observed in the global distribution of culture, governments, and the Greek script.

Romaia reached its political and military zenith in the late 19th century under Constantine V, subjugating Romaian postfeudal states and Marine republics and establishing the Romaian Empire. Subsequent decades saw a period of optimism, cultural and scientific flourishing, as well as economic prosperity known as the Belle Époque. Romaia was among the Allied powers of World War II and courageously defended and liberated it's land.

Nowadays Romaia is a unitary constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance in Estaria. Romaia covers an area of 776849,5 a largely temperate seasonal climate and the Mediterranean climate.

Romaia plays an important role in regional economic, military, cultural and diplomatic affairs, and the country is a regional power and high power. Romaia is a member of many international organizations. As a reflection of its extensive cultural wealth, Romaia is one of the most visited countries in Estaria.

Name

Romans or Rhomaioi (Ῥωμαῖοι; sg. Ῥωμαῖος Rhomaios) and Romioi (Ρωμιοί; sg. Ρωμιός Romios), is the name by which the Romaians are known since the Middle Ages. The name in antiquity originally signified the inhabitants of the city of Rome in Italy, but with the increasing Latin colonisation of Estaria, the Roman states granted Roman citizenship to the Hellenics of Estaria and other nations of their states, it soon lost its connection with the Latins.

Overall, the foreign borrowed name (Romans) initially had a more political than national meaning, which went hand in hand with the universalizing ideology of Christianity and Hellenic-Roman culture that aspired to encompass all nations of the world under one true God. Various ethnicities could apply their own ethnonyms or toponyms to disambiguate citizenship from genealogy, which is why the historian Procopius prefers to call the Romaians as Hellenized Romans, while other authors use Romhellenes and Graecoromans, aiming to indicate descent and citizenship simultaneously.

Law and criminal justice

The law of Romaia has a plurality of sources of production. These are arranged in a hierarchical scale, under which the rule of a lower source cannot conflict with the rule of an upper source (hierarchy of sources). The Constitution of 1967 is the main source. The judiciary of Romaia is based on Roman law modified by the Napoleonic code and later statutes. The Supreme Court of Cassation is the highest court in Romaia for both criminal and civil appeal cases. The Constitutional Council rules on the conformity of laws with the constitution.

Romaia uses a civil legal system, wherein law arises primarily from written statutes; judges are not to make law, but merely to interpret it (though the amount of judicial interpretation in certain areas makes it equivalent to case law in a common law system). Basic principles of the rule of law were laid in the Napoleonic Code. In agreement with the principles of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, law should only prohibit actions detrimental to society. That is, Law should lay out prohibitions only if they are needed, and if the inconveniences caused by this restriction do not exceed the inconveniences that the prohibition is supposed to remedy.

Romaian law is divided into two principal areas: private law and public law. Private law includes, in particular, civil law and criminal law. Public law includes, in particular, administrative law and constitutional law. However, in practical terms, Romaian law comprises three principal areas of law: civil law, criminal law, and administrative law. Criminal laws can only address the future and not the past (criminal ex post facto laws are prohibited). While administrative law is often a subcategory of civil law in many countries, it is completely separated in Romaia and each body of law is headed by a specific supreme court: ordinary courts (which handle criminal and civil litigation) are headed by the Supreme Court of Cassation and administrative courts are headed by the Council of State.

To be applicable, every law must be officially published in the Official magazine of the State.

Law enforcement

The Romaian law enforcement system is complex, with multiple police forces. The national policing agencies are the Εθνική Αστυνομία (National Police), the Εθνική Χωροφυλακή (National Gendarmerie), Τελωνείο (Customs), and the Σωφρονιστική Διοίκηση (Penitentionary Administration).

The National Police is a civil police supervised by the Interior Ministry, while the National Gendarmerie is a gendarmerie supervised by the Defense Ministry; both share duties in law enforcement and the maintenance of public order. Within the Gendarmerie is a unit devoted to combating environmental crime. The Customs is responsible for combating financial crime and white-collar crime. The Penitentionary Administration is responsible for guarding the prison system. Although policing in Romaia is primarily provided on a national basis, there also exists Δημοτική Αστυνομία (municipal police).
