Inhabited since at least the Palaeolithic era, Caphiria can trace its origin to a geographic region called [[Latium]] that encompassed the southern part of [[Levantia]] and the northern part of [[Sarpedon]]. Latium played a pivotal role in the development of a number of diverse cultural groups and civilizations, most notably the [[Adonerum|Adonerii civilization]], an ancient thalassocratic civilization that controlled the partial coastlines of what is now [[Urcea]], Caphiria, [[Cartadania]], and [[Burgundie]]. After the collapse of Adonerum in the 6th century BC, the ancient Latinics emerged as a dominant ethno-cultural group and spread the Latinic language, ancestry, history, and culture throughout the continent. In 480 BC, the Kingdom of Caphiria was founded by [[Lanintius]], a popular and successful Latinic general. The kingdom lasted over a century until the last king Admoneptis was overthrown in a coup d'état and the [[Republic of Caphiria]] was established, lasting almost 500 years until 109 AD. The Republic saw a vast expansion of territory, including present-day [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]], but also saw internal pressure from various ambitious leaders and the aristocracy, leading to the [[War of the Republic (Caphiria)|War of the Republic]] which saw Caphiria transition from Republic to Empire. In 136 AD, the [[First Imperium (Caphiria)|First Imperium]] was established, which saw Caphiria experiencing a vigorous expansion of its territory, having regional dominance and ultimately total control of more than half of the Sarpedon. In the late 9th century, the First Imperium [[Collapse of the First Imperium|collapsed in on itself]] due to political instability stemming from the lingering effects of the War of the Republic and after a 10-year interregnum, the [[Second Imperium (Caphiria)|Second Imperium]] was established in 900. This government was plagued with issues from the start and quickly reignited more conflict however, and lead to a massive four-decade conflict of civil war known as the [[Great Civil War (Caphiria)|Great Civil War]] in 1127. The civil war led to the [[Collapse of the Second Imperium|quick collapse of the Second Imperium]] and left Caphiria in a highly vulnerable position from outside threats.

The Government of Caphiria is organized into three branches (''ramis imperium''), which are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Power is vested by the [[Constitution of Caphiria]] in the Imperator, Corcillum, and Supreme Court, respectively.

===Magistrates===

Examples of non-parliamentary magistrates include ''Quaestores'' - individuals charged with collecting taxes from praetors for the imperial government, calling out financial corruption, and serving as right-hand men and messengers of the treasury, and ''Aedilis'' who supervise spending of money from the treasury, giving them the reverse role of the ''quaestores''.

According to the Constitution of Caphiria, there are three major [[Administrative divisions of Caphiria|administrative levels]]: [[Provinces of Caphiria|provincial]], [[Prefectures (Caphiria)|prefectural]], and [[Municipalities (Caphiria)|municipal]].  

The lowest political division is [[Municipalities (Caphiria)|municipal]] and administered according to a system distinct from higher strata. Municipalities, within their self-governing scope of activities, perform the tasks of local significance, which directly fulfill the citizens’ needs, and which were not assigned to prefectures or provinces by the Constitution or law, and in particular, affairs related to the organization of localities and housing, zoning and planning, public utilities, child care, social welfare, primary health services, education and primary schools, culture, physical education and sports, customer protection, protection and improvement of the environment, fire protection and civil defense, local transport. Municipalities are led by City Prefects (''Praefecti Urborum'') and are elected every other year by the popular assembly of the inhabitants (not just citizens) of the township. City Prefects lead a municipal council, the representative body of citizens, and the governing body. Municipalities have administrative departments as offices of administration chaired by the heads (principals). Municipal councilmen are elected for a two-year term in direct elections by secret ballot.

Christianity is by far the largest religion in the country, making up a total 88% of practiced religion. Prior to the formal mending of the [[Great Schism of 1615]], the de facto state religion of Caphiria had been [[Imperial Catholicism]]. However, since the Great Schism was officially mended in 2037, this has skewed current religious demographics since in theory, all Imperial Catholics were back in communion with the Levantine Church.

In modern times, Caphirians take great pride in their religious faith, openly discussing it in casual conversation. There is no stigma in professing one's belief or - in today's culture - non-belief at leisure. The majority of the irreligious are wealthy intellectuals who have personal qualms with the Church or who became disillusioned with the rigidity of religious faith. Despite their intelligent base and success at organizing, atheists have failed to challenge the two thousand years of theological hypotheses put forward by the Church. As well, silence in the face of their occasional attacks against religious institutions has dominated ecclesiastical policy for centuries.
