| - Halorium is the second most populous colonial city in the Roman Empire, behind the Indian metropolis of Hastinaporum. Settled on the south end of Manhatta island on July 1, 1631, the city of Halorium was originally known as New Alexandria. As the city expanded through government funding, the newly appointed Governor of Audenisonea, Lucius Halorius Macedea chose the city, one of only seven cities on that part of the continent, as his province's capital city and renamed it after himself, Halorium. Originally the only provincial capital in North Columbia, and in a very advantageous geographic position, the settlement's population and size swelled and by the time of the Great War, had more than 2.7 million inhabitants, almost superseding New Rome as the largest colonial city.

| - Halorium is the second most populous colonial city in the Roman Empire, behind the Indian metropolis of Hastinaporum. Settled on the south end of Manhatta island on July 1, 1631, the city of Halorium was originally known as New Alexandria. As the city expanded through government funding, the newly appointed Governor of Audenisonea, Lucius Halorius Macedea chose the city, one of only seven cities on that part of the continent, as his province's capital city and renamed it after himself, Halorium. Originally the only provincial capital in North Columbia, and in a very advantageous geographic position, the settlement's population and size swelled and by the time of the Great War, had more than 2.7 million inhabitants, almost superseding New Rome as the largest colonial city. Before this time though, the Romans had to first force out the native Lenape tribe from the area. This act however incited rage from the Great Chiefdom, and in 1639, they declared war on the Romans and tried to retake the island. Once these other natives were driven back, a massive wall was built inland to prevent them from even approaching the settlement. This gave the Romans free reign to construct things as they pleased. Amazingly the ensuing war didn't soil Roman-Columbian relations as the newly formed United Chiefdoms of Columbia attempted to join the Roman-Inca alliance, seeking a more tension free situation. In 1675 a treaty was signed in Halorium, promising cooperation between Rome and the Columbians, and two years later, the Natives were admitted into the CCA following a conference in this same city. After the Great War, Halorium grew into its role of Rome's primary colonial city, and management of nearly all colonial trade moved from New Rome to here in 1755. When the Treaty of Teotihuacan was signed in 1815, Halorium became the center point of Roman-Mayan relations, holding its embassy and boasting one of the largest Mayan populations in the Empire by the mid-1800's. During this time the settlement had long expanded to the mainland and the neighboring long island, all to accommodate its population of over 4 million people. Currently the city remains one of the fastest growing colonial cities, with one of the highest immigrant populations in the entire Empire. The city is renowned in Columbia for its beautiful bridges linking it together, as well as the Plaza of Columbia, a forum larger than The Forum in Rome. The city's skyline is dominated by the Turra Aurea, a radio tower on the north end built in the early-1800's. Throughout the Empire, Halorium is often known as the "Capital of Columbia", or the "City of the New World", both of which are names that reflect its status as the most important Imperial city on the continent.
