The Holy Romalian Empire is a sovereign state in western Halkeginia. Romalia shares a land border with Gallia to the north.
History
Romalia was founded by a disciple of Brimir. In the beginning, Romalia was a single city-state. Romalia expanded as it annexed neighboring city-states. During emperor Giulio Cesare's time, it conquered half of Gallia, but it was soon expelled from the land.[1]
Geography
Romalia is located south of Gallia on the Ausonian Peninsula.[1]
Politics
Romalia is a collection of city-states. Regions of Romalia went through a cycle of rebellion and reannexation; as a result, the regions developed distinctive indentities from Romalia.[1]
Government
Romalia is an elective monarchy, in which the monarch exercises considerable authority. The aristocracy consists of the clergy.[1]
Foreign relations
Romalia was expelled from Gallia after making territorial gains. Rebellions in its annexed regions made Romalia weak militarily.
However, due to its status as a theocratic state, it has become a center of Brimir's religion that's practiced in the rest of Halkeginia.[1]
Military
The Knights Templar constituted the military of Romalia. Others were not permitted to carry arms when entering the city.[1]
Economy
Romalia is a center of pilgrimage for followers of Brimir's religion.[1]
