Rome. The very symbol of power. Strength. And honor. But. The great civilization, the superpower we once were is no more. Our empire wallows in problems, affecting hundreds, thousands, millions. To it, a single eye refuses to turn.

The problem begins without government. After the Antonine dynasty also known as the Five Good Emperors, the rulers that took over do not even deserve to be called emperors. They are infamous for spending money on lavish parties where guests drank and ate until they became sick. And this my friends is why Roman society lacks financial support. We do not have the money to support our people, our soldiers, our country! This is why we bask in debt.

The Germans and the Huns traumatize us yet society ignores the Germans for one as they replace the vast amount of divided groups with less divided, stronger groups. They prove to be formidable as they require constant imperial supervision. The Huns add to the Germans causing explosions of downfall around Rome. The Huns mince our armies and prevent proper replacement by annexing the key areas of its base. This means our territories were left vulnerable and values to be destroyed as citizens. The people of Rome, became part of the enemy to protect their assets including their land as the elites were landowners.

There will be a reduction of debt for 40% so in other words 3 years worth of interest rate and debt will be paid off or reduced by this percentage. The workmen are also rewarded as well if they work under a farmer for 2 years and they are able to get a proper amount of workmen that are paid regular pay. The amount of workmen is equal to all farmers and so the regulated amount I think is acceptable is about 20-50. Taxes will also be levied heavily on entertainment and other luxury items to discourage wasteful spending and more value on the essential items. However, if they do spend money on these items, the money will be circulated back into the system. In addition, the value of wheat or basic foods are made the same throughout the nation so that farmers will make the same amount of money as the latifundia if they sell the same amount of crops. Each household is also rationed to certain quantities allowed depending on the number of people living in a household.

However, with inflation solved how is the problem of unemployment going to be fixed? The answer is simply by granting citizens land to establish colonies in the empire. This not only will provide a home but a way for them to work and support the economy. If they wanted to have workmen, they
