Religion- Sikhism
Sikhism was founded by Guru Nanok in 1500 A.D in Punjab, India. There is roughly about 23 million followers of this religion. They believe in one god and they call him Onkar,Nam. Basically their beliefs are just like the Buddhist and how they should align themselves in righteousness. Their afterlife is reincarnation until karma is resolved and you are merged with god. They usually pray to their god and do multiple charities.

Trajan
My predacessor, who was Nerva, started a time of great peace for Rome. These times were named the times of the Five Good Emperors. The best thing this that Nerva did for Rome is adopt me and name me the next emperor. I was actually the first non- Italian emperorer to rule Rome. I had some major exploits that earned me a little respect and honor for Rome.
I was usually out on the field on wild campaigns and adventures of war. These were my livelihood and what I did to preoccupy my time for I was never a good politician. Although I did make sure that every citizen had a fair ways with the laws. I even gave the Christians an anonymous sentencing, who were always despised. My values of fairness got me some enemies in the Senate but so did my wars so what did I care, I'm ruler and can do what I please. This is about as political as I usually got for the whole Senate thing gave me headaches just thinking about them.
My most famous and highly expensive campaigns was against the Daciens. These troublemakers were highly aggravating and hard to conquer. I had to pull out all the stops and organize the largest number of legions in all of Roman history. With thirty legions breathing down his neck Dacian king, Decebalus committed suicide and with that Dacie become one of our provinces. We mined some great riches from their mines which practically payed for the war and made Rome even more powerful. The year after this amazing victory I made a celebration that lasted for 123 days that was the biggest gladiator games ever.
You can not imagine how delighted I felt when the citizens made a whole column of me. This column explained in very fine detail my whole campaign in Dacie. This thirty meter high column is placed in my own Forum with a statue standing beneath it. These carvings wrap around the column and are even painted with delicate hands. I mean what else could an emperor ask for than this, right?
In all I'm pretty sure I did good as an emperor and need respect for that. I conquered more land and almost payed for the war that I started, which is half the political battle. I made sure that the laws were honored for all types of citizens and collected some enemies in the Senate. The people of Rome made me a thirty meter column of my exploits only with a statue of me at the base, which shows how much they loved me. Measure all that together and you have an amazing ruler who contributed the good for the citizens of Rome.
