HistoryEdit

Originally known as the Roman Empire, it started out as a Republic in -11000 (11660BCE). During the time of the Romans, it fought against a whole bunch of tribes, mainly the Germanic tribes and the Persian tribes. Throughout most of it's history (as well as during at least 2/5ths of during the Byzantine Empire) it focused mainly on expansion. It's expansion ended around 2179 (1519CE), when they finally gave up due to the desert heat in Afurika. Later, it played an important part during the World Wars, as the lands it had in Afurika and Ajia were difficult for the Enemy Powers to invade into thanks to the desert heat and lack of cities and towns in those areas. After the 3rd World War, it begin to focus more on industrialising it's lands within Afurika and Ajia, as well as exporting petroleum to the rest of the world. As of 2661 (2001), it is looked at as a potential Superpower thanks to it's economy, well trained military, and it's exports that helps keep most of the world running.

New flag and Coat of ArmsEdit

In 2663 (2003CE), it adopted a new flag and Coat of Arms to replace the old, outdated ones. On the flag, the Green represents it's care for nature, the yellow symbols represent the 4 areas the Byzantine Empire is in (aka, it's located in Yōroppa, Ajia, and Afurika, as well as having a bit of territory of islands in Oceania), and the purple cross represents unity. On the coat of arms, the 2 eagles represent it's old and new government (it switched to a Unitary parliamentary republic in 2620 (1960CE)), the anchor represents it's many harbours along the Mediterranean Sea, as well as it's Coast Guard, and the Torii on the top of the eagles represent it's Japanese influence (Japan was one of the Byzantine's important ally during it's history).
