1570 AD: civman VII is sworn in as Head Civver of Civland.  He promises a "scientific revival and a peace economy."  His rule also makrs the beginning of a new era of government honesty.  He begins his inaugaration speech: "My fellow CIvvers, I would like to thank you for electing me as Head Civver.  I would also like to reveal one of the greatest government secrets."  There was a buzz in the crowd.  "My fellow CIvvers, this nation is in decline and it'll take a miracle to revive it.  We are crumbling, and we're going to need everyone's help if we want to maintain our slim chance of survival...."
The peace economy promised is put into place, science is increased, workers are sent to South AMerica, and an embassy is built in France.

March 5, 1575 AD: The Head Civver's Address to the Nation (just the beginning, it was a long speech):
"My fellow Aztecs, Zulus, Japanese, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, but most importantly of all, Civvers, yesterday I sent a diplomat to Rome.  ROme has positioned troops in the territory of Civland, a direct violation of the Treaty of Pisae.  Just one hour ago, the diplomat returned.  My fellow Civvers..." he paused.   In tears, he continued: "Rather than obey the Treaty of Pisae, Rome has declared war on the nation of Civland!"
IN response, Civland attacked quickly.  Within a year, Seleucia had fallen and Civvers were approaching Rome.
