A much larger Rome that survives until the present day.

Working my way through this one; posting so that it will come up in the list of threads I've posted to. Don't want to lose it!
 
Wow both threads going at the same time.

Germaniac: Yeah sorry, there won't be a united world empire under Rome in my TL, but it will be large. I just really want a world with both a large Rome and China with a few smaller states.

As it concerns the world map in modern times, some time ago I made a map for ISOT purposes that was greatly inspired by your TL. I repost it here in order to inspire your revision efforts. A note: the New Sun state could well be a former Chinese colony that is a cultural Chinese-Mesoamerican native hybrid, in order to have one more "native" state.

About Africa

Why can't the romans eat africa already seriously when you own that much of it already might as well finish the job! The diamonds, gold, animals, and other resources would sure be worth it. Plus the security, pristige of total comand of yet another continent,and benefits to a ruler image would be astronomical.

Just started reading this thread from the beginning, have a lot to catch up on and I'm not sure which ideas have already been dropped, but this caught my eye, from the second part of the Great Law:

If a territory revolts one time, all citizenship rights (the rights of a Roman citizen) are rescended for a period of five years andno internal improvements will be built for that same period of five years.

Makes absolutely no sense. Improvements to infrastructure within a territory are to the benefit of occupying armies and colonisers as much as to rebellious native populations. To enshrine in law that things like roads cannot be built within five years of a revolt when such measures would make it easier to put down or prevent a future revolt (and are to the benefit of the empire as a whole in terms of trade) is madness. No real power would even consider hamstringing itself in such a way.
