The Roman Republic is a sovereign nation-state in Earth X, a polity centred around the Eternal City, Rome, with signficiant territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa and West Asia, with a history dating back over two thousand years. The modern Roman Republic is a democratic state, with a written constitution first codified in 1350, centred around the city of Rome and the Italian peninshula, although democratic sufferance is universal across the Republic's territory for all citizens. Administrativly, there is a substantial distinction between Italia and the provinces; historically this was underline the dominance of Rome, however more recently this has become a egalitarian distinction allowing for a Provincial Assembly, representing all inhabitants of the province, citizen or non-citizen, to exist under a Roman Governor, thereby ensuring represenation for all inhabitants of the Republic, and a signficiant degree of autonomy in some provinces. As such, the modern Roman Republic is a diverse, multi-cultural polity, with signficaint regional traditions and languages, all under an overarching sense of 'Romanness' and an alliegance to the Eternal City.

The Roman Republic has remained largely stable for the majority of its history since the end of the Empire in 1349 at the height of the Black Death, with no major political conflict. The Republic has faced some unrest in provinces, newly acquired at the time, the most recent being a reborn Zealot movement in the province of Judea, however successful Romanisation (or in many cases, re-Romanisation) has largely resulted in a peaceful and prosperous modern Republic. For much of its history, from Ancient Times up until the last hundred and fifty years, Rome stood as the main obstacle to the advance of Islam into Europe, with the City of Constantinople being at the front-line for centuries. As a result of this, and in keeping with it's martial traditions, Rome has maintained a strong, professional military since ancient times, with Rome's Legions retaining their prestige and renown.

Due to Rome's vast extent, which included numerous overseas colonies during the Age of Discovery, and endurance, the instutitons and cultures of Rome hae had a profound and lasting influence on the development of language, religion, art, architecture, philosophy, law, and forms of Government all over the world. As such, the modern Roman Republic is one of the world's Great Powers, boasting the largest economy and population, and is a permenant member of the Security Council of the World Congress.
