THE IMPERIAL REPUBLIC OF AGIRA LATINAMotto:- Ab Ordine Libertas - From Order Comes Freedom
HISTORY
In the 2nd century BC the city of Agira rose to regional prominence as a centre for trade and enlightenment. Becoming far richer than the areas around it the city became the target for various raids by those keen to claim some of its wealth for themselves. This provoked the Agiran people to hire mercenaries to deal with the raiders.
By the beginning of the 1st Century AD the city of Agira had subdued their homeland and even raised its own citizen army. As such their success saw them get greedy and they then in turn began raiding their neighbours. Soon these raids became occupation and the what was once a city state had become a nation.
Soon they had created an Empire which featured five major regions.
1. Randazzo - Conquered in 300AD
2. Lentini - Conquered in 900AD
3. Palmero - Conquered in 1200AD
4. Ribera - Conquered in 1450AD
5. Cefalu - Conquered in 1670AD
Since then the Empire had remained fairly stable since 1678.
