Long ago, in the year 800, a faction of Rome split from the traditional empire and formed a society unlike any other—the Goofist Roman Empire.

The empire was founded by Clownius I, a man who wore a crown made of Pizzazium Infinionite and rode a horse named Greg. He died only 3 years after due to a heart attack. His son, Clownius II, took the throne. Under his leadership, he started the GRE-Italian War in 827 and the Colosseum was taken over to host The Goofy Party of 830, senators were required to wear clown outfits, but Italy managed to annex the land back following the annexation of North Italy in 850.

The military of the Goofist Empire was their best feature. The Legion of Mogwarts fought using banana peels to make them slip and then capturing them, making them succumb to the army and join them. Their navy was composed entirely of inflatable pool floats, and their cavalry consisted of highly trained battle ostriches wearing tiny Roman helmets. During the infamous Battle of Wobbly Bridge in 850, the Goofist army distracted enemy forces by staging an elaborate interpretive dance performance so confusing that the opposing general surrendered out of sheer confusedness.

Economically, the empire thrived due to its ingenious currency system, Pronglebucks. It was invented in the late stages of the empire and was the only currency that kinda made sense as they used to use rubber ducks, floor loot, and discarded Bepsi cans. The only difference? They had actually established a price.

Culturally, the Goofist Romans were ahead of their time. They officialy made their symbol as a duck. Theey hosted the first Olympic Games where all events were just variations of dodgeball. They developed a calendar system based on when people felt like a new month should start. The empire, under Clownius III even attempted to build the world’s largest statue—a 40-story-tall inflatable memorial of Emporer Clownius I. but it tragically floated away before completion and is rumored to still be drifting through the sky to this day.

However, as with all great empires, the Goofist Romans eventually met their downfall. In Year 1802, the empire started it's collapse when Napoleon Bonaparte invaded them in a short time (aka 3 and a half months).

From that point on, the empire was a mess, Even after the war.

Today, the Goofist Roman Empire is considered one of the most influential civilizations to have ever existed. Historians debate whether it was a failed experiment in government or the greatest society ever conceived. But one thing is certain—if you ever hear the sound of a distant duck quacking on the wind, the Goofist spirit lives on.
