Iberian Peninsula
Where the western edge of the map meets the dawn of empire.
The Iberian Peninsula is a region in the game *Europa Universalis*, though the source material for this rewrite is *Imperator: Rome*, not *Europa Universalis*. In *Imperator: Rome*, the map spans from the Iberian Peninsula to India, and the timeline runs from AUC 450 (304 BCE) to AUC 727 (27 BCE). The Iberian Peninsula is thus part of the game's world, but the source provides no specific details about its nations, terrain, or gameplay role.

Lore & Background
In *Imperator: Rome*, the Iberian Peninsula appears as a region on the game's map, which stretches from the Iberian Peninsula to India. The game covers the period of the Wars of the Diadochi and the establishment of the Roman Empire, so Iberia is part of this ancient world. However, the source does not describe any specific events, characters, or mechanics unique to the Iberian Peninsula. It is simply one of many regions where players can take control of a nation, managing provinces with different religions and cultures, each with their own bonuses and appearances.
In Their Own Story
A Roman scout crests a hill overlooking the Iberian coast, the sun glinting off the waves. His general, fresh from the Punic Wars, eyes the tribal settlements dotting the landscape. The year is 304 BCE, and the peninsula is a patchwork of cultures—Iberians, Celts, and Phoenician-influenced cities. The scout notes the terrain: mountains, farmlands, and coastal plains, each province with its own religion and dialect. He knows that Rome's legions will soon test their mettle here, but for now, the land waits, a blank page in the empire's ledger.
