Numa Maximus Foundation

Creation
The NMF was, obviously, created by Emperor Numa Maximus, soon after his campaign began. It was originally founded to boost Numa's bid for control of Italy, but after he was coronated, quickly became the go-to group for all of the Emperor's needs.

Purpose
NMF actually serves many purposes. Much of the medical research made by scientists is done in NMF facilities, and military technology is designed and developed there as well. The NMF promotes Emperor Numa through Ad campaigns and the like, as well as enlists soldiers and supplies advisors and servants to the Emperor himself.

Employment
More than one third of all the population of Romana Italia is employed in the service of the NMF. It gives out considerable wages, with the mean income for employees weighs in at about $220 per day. Therefore, these people have no problem with the Emperor's high taxes, not to mention that they know the Euros go to good causes.

Location
The prime Headquarters of the NMF is located just outside of Napoli, quite a distance from the capital.However, it still constantly keeps contact with the capitol building, and its agents are everywhere. Its main branches are:
 * The Consistent Information Bureau, or CIB
 * The National Security and Military Department (NSMD)
 * And the Economics and Welfare Society, aka EWS.

Consistent Information Bureau (CIB)
This branch is highly secretive. It discloses all information and checks its accuracy, and archives it. Since all the knowledge of Romana Italia is stored at its base in Palermo, the place is swarming with NSMD agents and security devices. CIB operatives have a strict code to do anything and everything possible to acquire information, and if somehow found to have made an infraction of the code, they are expelled from the CIB and their mind is wiped. The Emperor often stops by to visit the HQ, which is like a gigantic library to him.
