The area that is present-day Alta Roma was first inhabited by Cartic peoples starting around 3,000 years BC, with the Linaca being the dominant group when Latins finally arrived in the early 4th century BC. Its position across the Turian mountains and so far south along the Bay of Attalus made it of little interest to Republic-era Caphiria, thus it lacked true inland settlements until the Magna Discordia when Cartadania separated from Caphiria, taking the area with it. Although it has been part of Cartadania since 1671, it did not become a state of its own until 1995, when the former state of Roma was split into current Alta Roma and Baixa Roma
==By country==
===Kiravia===
The Kiravian Federacy has a mixed but mostly unfavourable legal landscape for alternative sexualities and gender identities.


Alta Roma's location in Cartadania makes it difficult to include it in a specific region. Because the regions exist merely as a consolidation and categorization of cultural similarities in the country, the state is not ''de jure'' part of any region. It is most commonly accepted, however, as a part of the [[Luson region]]. It's proximity to Turiana and Verona has fueled its rapid growth and suburbanization in the second half of the 20th century. With the turn of the 21st century, its economy increasingly diversified, with major sectors including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, specialized agriculture, and informational technology. Alta Roma remains a major destination for immigrants from Caphiria, with one of the most multicultural populations in Cartadania. Echoing historic trends, the state has increasingly re-urbanized, with growth in the cities outpacing the suburbs since 2000. Alta Roma is one of the wealthiest states in Cartadania, with the seventh highest median household income in 2023. Almost one-tenth of all households, or over 341,000 of 3.5 million, are millionaires. Alta Roma's public school system consistently ranks at or among the top of all Cartadanian states.
Same-sex sexual activity is either legal or decriminalised in all Kiravian federal subjects. In jurisdictions where it remains formally illegal, most limit the prohibition to public settings only, and it is rare for the remaining civil penalties to be applied. Most states have higher ages of consent for same-sex activity than for opposite-sex activity.


== History ==
Same-sex marriage is not recognised anywhere in the Kiravian Federacy, and there are no plans to introduce it. A handful of federal subjects - [[Fariva]], the [[Kiygrava]], [[Argévia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Asperidan]], and the [[District of Coīnvra]], offer gender-neutral civil unions that are functionally equivalent to civil marriages for most (but not all) purposes. A larger number of federal subjects offer gender-neutral domestic partnerships (''atomixardmakūra'') or "household covenants" (''þramsāvirexóvon''), which confer fewer rights than a marriage or civil union.


== Geography ==
Anti-discrimination laws concerning alternative sexual and gender identities are few and weak. The modern Occidental concept of sexual orientation is not widely understood in Kiravian society, much less recognised in law. Laws concerning public and subsidised housing are one of the few areas in which ''raśgatestra ɣalamirsk'' ("gender-distribution of affection") is a widespread protected class. Healthcare regulations are another. Some coastal states and cities have clear anti-discrimination clauses regarding government services and public accommodations. Queer Kiravians have sought shelter under other protected categories mentioned in various laws, such as "marital status", "household composition", and "reasonably private dispositions", but these are have not always proven reliable and do not provide comprehensive protection.
[[File:Alta Roma geographic regions.svg|thumb|right|200px|Geographic regions of Alta Roma.]]
The state borders [[Baixa Roma]] to the south, [[Verona]] and the [[Bay of Attalus]] to the east and northeast, and the [[Caphiria]]n province of [[Turiana]] to the west and northwest. It covers an area of {{convert|39,015.06|km2|sqmi|abbr=off}}, of which {{convert|2900.7|km2|sqmi}} is surface water, and is the fourth-least extensive state in Cartadania.


The state is divided into 5 geographic zones, from west to east–Bay Coastal Plain, Roma Piedmont, Janeiro Mountains, Ridge and Valley, and Turian Plateau. The Bay Coastal Plain is a coastal plain between the Bay of Attalus, Roma River, and the fall line. It includes the major estuaries of Bay of Attalus. The Piedmont is a series of sedimentary and igneous rock-based foothills west of the mountains which were formed in the Mesozoic era. The region, known for its heavy clay soil, includes the Southeast Ranges around Valorton. The Janeiro Mountains are a physiographic province of the Turian Mountains with the highest points in the state, the tallest being Rico's Peak at *height_marker*. The Ridge and Valley region is west of the mountains, carbonate rock based, and includes the Linaca Mountain ridge and the Great Linaca Valley, which is called the Charmides Valley in Alta Roma. The Turian Plateau and Turian Mountains are in the southeast corner and far eastern fringes of Alta Roma. In this region, rivers flow northeast, with a dendritic drainage system, into the Turian Province of Caphiria.  
The Henebrem and Ayembrem are two obscure Coscivian ethnic groups that have more than two sets of gender roles (the Henebrem three and the Ayembrem five), and the states where they live have afforded some measure of legal protection to the "traditional lifestyle and customary minorities among the Brem tribes". The Wisaya Aboriginal tribe also has a third customary gender role assigned to certain biological males, which is recognised under the laws of the Wisaya Reservation. There is some controversy regarding this, as many reformers believe that Ayembrem ''or̥ot'' and Wisaya ''wodoāgro'' are oppressed in their respective cultures. Beyond this there is no legal recognition of alternative or transitory gender identities.


=== Climate ===
===Takatta Loa===
Takatta Loa decides its laws via religious precedent, which condone homosexual activity and alternative gender expression, but do not mention marriage or adoption. In addition, persecution of homosexuality is so uncommon in Takatta Loa that there is no precedent for the protection of homosexual rights to freedom of discrimination.

The position of [[Governor of Alta Roma]] has been considered one of the most powerful in the nation. Until 2011, the governor was the only statewide elected executive official in the state and appointed various government officials. Formerly, an acting governor was even more powerful as they simultaneously served as president of the Senate of Alta Roma, thus directing half of the legislative and all of the executive process. A 2009 amendment to the state Constitution prevents the Senate President from becoming acting governor in the event of a permanent gubernatorial vacancy without giving up their seat in the state Senate. Currently, Chalinus Adrana (SDP) serves as the 4th governor, while Caecilia Micon serves as the second lieutenant governor. The governor's mansion is Saumner Chateau, located in Arranda.
 
=== Legislature ===
[[File:British Columbia Parliament Buildings in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada 01.jpg|thumb|left|200px|General Assembly Building]]
The current version of the Alta Roma State Constitution was adopted in 1995. It provides for a bicameral state legislature, known as the Alta Roma General Assembly, consisting of an upper house Senate of 40 members and a lower house House of Representatives of 80 members. Each of the 40 legislative districts elects one state senator and two Assembly members. Assembly members are elected for a two-year term in all odd-numbered years; state senators are elected in the years ending in 1, 3, and 7 and thus serve either four- or two-year terms.
 
Alta Roma is one of the few states that elects its state officials in odd-numbered years. It holds elections for these offices every four years, in the year preceding each federal Presidential election year. Thus, the last year when Alta Roma elected a governor was 2023; the next gubernatorial election will occur in 2027.
 
=== Judiciary ===
[[File:Queen_Elizabeth_II_Courts_of_Law_seen_from_Albert_Street,_Brisbane_02.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Supreme Court of Alta Roma]]
The Supreme Court of Alta Roma (STRIDAR) consists of a chief justice and six associate justices. All are appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of a majority of the membership of the state senate. Justices serve an initial seven-year term, after which they can be reappointed to serve until age 70.
 
Most of the day-to-day work in the Alta Roma's courts is carried out in the Municipal Court, where simple traffic tickets, minor criminal offenses, and small civil matters are heard.
 
More serious criminal and civil cases are handled by the Superior Court for each county. All Superior Court judges are elected by their county or appointed by its Board of Supervisors. Each judge serves an initial seven-year term, after which they can be reappointed to serve until age 70.
 
The Superior Court also has an Appellate Division, which functions as the state's intermediate appellate court. Superior Court judges are assigned to the Appellate Division by the Chief Justice.
 
There is also a Tax Court, which is a court of limited jurisdiction. Tax Court judges hear appeals of tax decisions made by County Boards of Taxation. They also hear appeals on decisions made by the director of the Department of Revenue on such matters as state income, sales and business taxes, and homestead rebates. Appeals from Tax Court decisions are heard in the Appellate Division of Superior Court. Tax Court judges are appointed by the governor for initial terms of seven years, and upon reappointment are granted tenure until they reach the mandatory retirement age of 70. There are 12 Tax Court judgeships.
 
=== Local government ===
Alta Roma consists of 25 counties. Some counties have been named for prominent figures in both Cartadanian and Caphirian history, as well as Alta Roman history, and many bear names with tribal origin (e.g., Linaca named counties). Counties in Alta Roma have their own elected legislative branch, usually called the Board of Commissioners, which usually also has executive authority in the county. Alta Roma's Constitution provides all counties and cities with "home rule" authority. The county commissions have considerable power to pass legislation within their county, as a municipality would.
 
Alta Roma recognizes all local units of government as cities, so every incorporated town is legally a city. Alta Roma does not provide for townships or independent cities, though there have been bills proposed in the Legislature to provide for townships; it does allow consolidated city-county governments by local referendum, but none currently exist.

Kiravia

The Kiravian Federacy has a mixed but mostly unfavourable legal landscape for alternative sexualities and gender identities.

Same-sex sexual activity is either legal or decriminalised in all Kiravian federal subjects. In jurisdictions where it remains formally illegal, most limit the prohibition to public settings only, and it is rare for the remaining civil penalties to be applied. Most states have higher ages of consent for same-sex activity than for opposite-sex activity.

Same-sex marriage is not recognised anywhere in the Kiravian Federacy, and there are no plans to introduce it. A handful of federal subjects - Fariva, the Kiygrava, Argévia, Vôtaska, Asperidan, and the District of Coīnvra, offer gender-neutral civil unions that are functionally equivalent to civil marriages for most (but not all) purposes. A larger number of federal subjects offer gender-neutral domestic partnerships (atomixardmakūra) or "household covenants" (þramsāvirexóvon), which confer fewer rights than a marriage or civil union.

Anti-discrimination laws concerning alternative sexual and gender identities are few and weak. The modern Occidental concept of sexual orientation is not widely understood in Kiravian society, much less recognised in law.
