We don't need a roman government, we just uphold their ideals and strive to be like them. As a democratic nation, that will be very hard for you. The people have spoken. It shall be.

The concept of building your military in NS is confusing...

I think you just make it up... But it has to be somewhat realistic and can't be ridiculously big, the instructions are very vague.

Ferus, the last Romans aren't really good people to look up to... By last Romans you can either be referring to the Holy Roman Empire or Fascist Italy, both of which crumbled.

The Republic tolerated monotheism but polytheism was the more common religion, most of the senators in the Roman senators were probably Polytheists

And yes I think pretty much all senators were polytheistic, because only the Jews were monotheistic at the time and they didn't become senators. But some might have been atheist though, some Greek/Roman philosophers at the time were.

No, it's easier to unify them under a polytheistic religion, just look at the Romans, the accepted the gods of other people and even used some for their own religion. The Roman pantheon has a lot of gods from other regions, so the people living there felt accepted and in return accepted the Roman rule.

Yet if you can Manage to unify them under a monotheistic religion, then it is frightening what you can do. Look at Islam. it united an entire region.

My nation is getting weirder all the time. Yesterday some guy asked me to build a gladiator arena and today someone wants me to wipe out all clowns...

All monotheistic empires fall eventually, and the Ottomans were essentially dictators. And they did not unite, they conquered.

@ferusolin77 A recent survey shows that 48% of Ferusmavians are atheists and 12% are anti-theists! What do you have to say about this discovery?

It's pretty obvious, I funded them to rebel against Ferus's monotheistic dictatorship. Ferus is a ruthless dictator, his senate and his people have no true power, for example, he obviously didn't ask anyone's permission for the nuclear attack on the BFU, he just done it himself because he knew he could get away with it. It is a known fact 1 in 4 Ferusmavians support a rebellion of some sort.

Well, you shouldn't be talking about people having no true power, yours aren't exactly free either... but at least it seems you're a benevolent dictator...

I hate how making churches pay taxes makes Civil Rights go down... Shouldn't Civil Rights go up since I'm treating everyone equally?
Also, the next stupid law people want me to make is about allowing people to only have one child and selling additional children to other countries... What's wrong my nation?

Deaths from heart diseases rose from 2% to 17% after I choose to encouraged children to use their imagination while sporting instead of using all standard rules... Well... at least bungee jumping is back to 2%.
