Nova Roma is an international organization dedicated to the study and restoration of ancient Roman culture. From its founding until it ceased to be the center of Imperial authority Rome laid the foundation for our modern Western civilization. Founded 2,750 years after the Eternal City itself, Nova Roma seeks to bring back those golden times, not through the sword and the legions, however, but through the spread of knowledge and through our own virtuous example.

Republic and Corporation

The Nova Roman Republic is currently working as a free commonwealth of the community of Nova Roman citizens, and it is not equivalent to the Nova Roma Corporation (Nova Roma, Inc.). The citizens of Nova Roma own a corporation, Nova Roma, Inc., in order that we can do business with the organizations and authorities of the world outside Nova Roma. This corporation has been legally incorporated as a nonprofit educational and religious organization, Nova Roma, Inc., but it works independently from the Republic, even though the members of the corporation are largely the same as the citizens of the Republic. The corporation currently has some problems with its legal status within the State of Maine, USA, and our community is working on the solution and reformation of its structure, and hopefully Nova Roma will have a completely working corporation in the foreseeable future, which will be integrated into the frames of the Republic.

Areas
Nova Roma is divided into a number of areas. An area can comprise a single country or several, or on the other end of the spectrum, can be made up of sub-national units from a single country. Unlike provinces of Canada or American states, Nova Roman areas are creations of the Senate, the 'national' governing body. The Senate, under its Constitutional authority, can create a new area or combine existing ones by Senatus Consultum Ultimum or Senatus Consultum. The Senate also has the power to appoint and replace a governor, Legatus Legionis and Tribunus Militum for areas that it has classified as suitable for development of local community groups.
Aerarium Saturni - Financial Documents
The Nova Roma Aerarium Saturni is the repository for all the official financial documents of the State. Financial reports are responsibility of the CFO.
Society
Citizens of Nova Roma form a social structure with patricians and plebeians, equestrians and senators, classes, centuries and tribes that aim to reconstruct ancient Roman society.
Magistrates and the Senate

Elected annually by the comitia, our magistrates are the executive officers of the Nova Roman Republic. Our magistracies are as close to those of the Roman Republic as we can make them.

Senators are appointed by the censors based on senatorial review of any proposed additions and removals. Our Senate is patterned after that of the Old Republic as well.
Laws, Edicts, Constitution

The legal system of Nova Roma is modeled on that of ancient Rome.

The Nova Roman legal system includes the legal texts applicable to and inside Nova Roma. It is composed not only of the laws adopted by the comitia, the assemblies of Nova Roma, but also of senatus consulta ultima, senatus consulta, pontifical decrees and magisterial edicts.
