Europa (New Rome)

The New Roman Empire of Europe and America is a country consisting of the former territories of Portugal, Spain, the U.S.A, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, and a number of other European countries. All of the Soviet satellite states are members also. The country is also called Europa or Rome.

Founding
Europa was founded in 2001, but it has roots in the year 2000. In November, 2000, there was a massive cyber attack that destroyed many computer systems in Europe and North America and left the countries with no bank system for over two months. Within days, riots in D.C forced the president to flee to Canada, leaving the U.S.A without leadership. Many European countries were without leaders also.

When everything was up and running, the damage was done and the countries affected were prone to being invaded or attacked by terrorists due to their weakened state. That is why Europe and the U.S.A merged to form the New Roman Empire.

Of course, not everyone agreed, so there was a meeting in Berlin, Germany, to discuss the terms of the merging. Representatives from each country decided that the capital will be outside Boston, Massachusetts, and that each member country will be called a district.

Government
Europa is a democracy and the leader is elected by representatives from every member country. With the U.S.A, each state gets reps to represent them in the election. The leader is called a Duce and when elected, the Duce has unlimited powers and is elected for five years. A Duce can be reelected a unlimited number of times.

The current president is a former C.I.A agent, Vance Wilshire, who was practically unknown by the people but has a amazing reputation in the intelligence world. He masterminded the NSA wiretapping program and worked for some time with the C.I.A Special Activities Division. Wilshire was elected by a 50.5 percent vote, the smallest vote margin in the short history of Europa.
