Reme

Reme is a predominent power on the continent the Naptown Roleplayers campaign takes place on. It dominates the regional politics and trade and has been slowly expanding over the last few hundred years. The capitol of Reme is also named Reme, stemming from the fact the empire began from this city.

Geography
The territory of Reme is mostly on the peninsula of Italia. The empire is currently in the midst of some positioning as they want to take Parthea.

Italia

 * Elysia
 * Veracum

Environment
The peninsula lies between the Tyrrhenian Sea on the west, the Ionian Sea on the south, and the Adriatic Sea on the east.

The peninsula has mainly a Mediterranean climate, though in the mountainous parts the climate is much cooler. Its natural vegetation includes macchia along the coasts and deciduous and mixed deciduous coniferous forests in the interior.

Demographics
Reme has a robust culture of Mediterranean people, they identify as Remens.

North Italia has only recently been conquered by the Remans in the last 100 years so a unified culture has yet to develop yet. Other than the political changes become more senatorial, most cities and towns operate without much oversight beyond their respective elected councils and only need to pay their taxes to the empire.

Politics
The current head of state is Emperor Septimius Severus. His law is iron clad throughout the land. Behind the scenes there is another political force beyond the emperor in the form of the Carbonari who exist as a criminal organization supporting the collapse of Reme and a return to "Old Italia".

The Empire does not restrict the religion of the people and leaves them to worship whatever god they choose so long as the god does not require their followers to commit evil and murderous deeds.

Tensions are also rising with Parthea, who the Emperor sees as his next target of conquest. Not much is known about Parthea however other than the Emperor hopes to stage his attack from Macedon.

13th legion
The 13th legion is based out of Reme and is under the direct control of the Emperor. They are a large military force and were instrumental in helping the Harpy's Claw retake Elysia after the Carbonari took over.

Laws
Laws are unknown/unspecified.
