Rome was started on February 5, 2010 by two friends magnetar and richard I. The purpose for creating the alliance was to build a laid back community of friends were nations can feel at home and prosper. The alliance of Rome is by no means a neutral alliance as we look to expand our influence and create new friendships with the rest of the planet. And our history keeps on being written.....
