Rome was counter-invaded by the region Solarius, on behalf of the Triumvirate. Instead of returning Rome to natives and RAID control, it was declared a province of the Triumvirate. The Triumvirate is an alliance of Solarius, Polarius, and New Orion, regions that have had a long history of close friendship with each other.
Tameriel awoke and ejected Falian, the invader delegate, and let the natives of Rome know their new situation. The password was changed, but it was not widely distributed. Tameriel claimed the password would be given out to everyone as soon as the distinction between natives and invaders was cleared.
This is not without precedent. In United States weeks ago a large force of liberator nations headed by Freedom Fighters took advantage of the deletion of French delegate Architeuthis. Hrmmm created password but did not give it to the native (as is the rule) until it was finally cleared up who was an invader and who was not in the region. Several residents were ejected and banned from United States on the word of a list compiled by one native of United States. The incident spawned a hailstorm of controversy and several pages of posts on the NS gaming forum. The moderators ruled favorably to Hrmmm and the password was allowed to stay. Elections were promised by Hrmmm to return native control to the region. This is the purpose of most region liberations. But Hrmmm ejected former native delegate Benjamin Franklin, believed by the ADN to be in league with the French, for having the most endorsements in the region. Hrmmm debated, why promise an election if someone is going to become delegate before the election can begin? Later that evening some of Hrmmm's endorsers returned to their own regions and Benjamin Franklin returned to United States (he was immediately unbanned) and became the next delegate at update. All of the regional liberators were quickly banned forever from United States. But a precedent seems to have been set; a counter-invader may withhold the password for a reasonable period of time until the confusing mess of who was a native and who was an invader may be sorted out.
Tameriel, also known as Colonel Griffin of the Solarian Army, sat down with SeattleNews for an interview on March ninth. An interview was also scheduled with a representative from the Polish Mafia, but a period of time went by with no response from them. Note: This interview has been edited to remove extraneous conversation, increase coherency, and remove evidence of human qualities/faults of Rigel Kent, who will kill us if he finds out what we say about him when he's not here.

It seems Rome had a bright future for itself as a new province of the Triumvirate, until another Triumvirate intervened. Moderator puppet The First Expeditionary Force of the Triumvirate of Yut came to Rome and made this proclamation:
After investigation by the moderator corps, the situation has been resolved. I am currently sending out the (new) password to all inhabitants of Rome.

Followed by:
Investigation shows that:
--The password was never sent out to natives.
--This was not an error of ignorance but an error of will (i.e. was intentional)
-- All three identifiable invader nations are either current or past UN multis.
Thusly, it is determined that this is an open-and-shut case of griefing and will be prosecuted in a manner appropriate to the crime. All participants will be deleted.
Bombardment will commence momentarily.

Tameriel, Bar mucha the first and Dnuous were all ejected from the UN for rule violations and then ceased to exist. Golden Hope was ejected from the UN for rule violations a day later.
United Romania became the next regional delegate, but the next day Romani Forti succeeded him. Rome is back under Roman Empire control.
