The Roman Knights of America or (R.K.A) were organized in the first decade of the 21st century in Chicago, Illinois. According to them R.K.A law demands members follow a code of Knightly Virtues along with constant observance of the Ten Commandments given to Moses, by God. Each R.K.A legion or branch must have three principle members, all other members of the individual branch are called Knights, and are addressed with "Sir" in front of there names. The chief members of the legion are:

Kaiser: The Kaiser is the head of the individual Legion. He acts as president, of the Legion.

Centurion: The Centurion is in charge of the protection of the Legion. He is the master of arms.

Treasurer: The Treasurer's main goal is to make his Legion wealthy, and prosperous He is in charge of the Legion's finances.

All though early in the groups history there were allegations of racism, violence, and drug trafficking, in recent years it seems as if all criminal activity has come to a stand still, and is more of a social club. Common legion goals now concern community unity, raising money to buy presents for poor children on Christmas, and neighborhood politics, and watches.
