It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monte Cristo.

Became well known after the Black Rebellion; orchestrated by Monte Cristo that led to a bloody Civil War and in the end; the fall of the Old Empire.<br /> </li><li>Liberal Party (LP) - Remnant of the Old Republic, housing only 3% of the seats on Parliament. But it still gains the support of some Imperial Citizens. <br /> </li><li>Communist Reformist Party (CRP) - Contrary to it's Radical counterpart; the Communist Revolutionary Army - the armed wing of the CRP. Housing only 2% of the seats on Parliament.<br /> </li><li>Norsefire (NF/the Party) - Second largest Political Party with Fascism and Imperial Nationalism as its Ideology. Housing 37% of the seats of Parliament. The Official Political Party of the Old Empire. But after the Black Rebellion and the exploitation of its secrets regarding countless massacres that made the Party influential and dominant for 3 centuries.</li></ul><p> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>*****ECONOMICAL INFO*****</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p><strong>Currency</strong>: (Imperial) Credit</p><p><strong>GDP</strong>: 116 trillion Imperial Credits</p><div>          109,579 Imperial Credits per person</div><div> </div><div>Poorest 10%: 85,591 Imperial Credits</div><div>Richest 10%: 136,514 Imperial Credits</div><div> </div><div>The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth 116 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from the Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common.

The largest coherent fighting force in the Empire. They serve as the Empire's primary combat force and first line of defense from the myriad threats which threaten the safety of Empire. It is comprised of men and women --  thousands of different regiments, supported by a vast array of light and heavy armored vehicles that provide the Guard's primary offensive punch. They are usually the first Imperial force to respond to a threat if the Empire's Border Defense Force (BDF) fails to suppress it. They also garrison major locations of strategic or cultural interest to the Empire and are often found in defensive roles. The Imperial Guard is often referred to as the "Sledgehammer of the Emperor"; the sheer amount of force that the Imperial Guard can bring to bear on the enemy is devastating.<br /> </li><li>Imperial Air Force - One of the Armed Forces of the Empire, while the Imperial Guard represents the Empire's ground forces, the Imperial Air Force represents its Air Superiority. They are responsible for deep strike operations that brings the Imperial Guard behind enemy lines. They are responsible for bringing precious supplies fast by means of going to the air and for bringing the Imperial Guard in and out of combat.<br /> </li><li>Imperial Navy - One of the Armed Forces of the Empire. The Imperial Navy is a member of the Border Defense Force in charge of the safety of the Empire from attacks coming at sea. They are responsible for the Naval Theater of War.<br /> </li><li>Secret Intelligence Services (SIS) - This branch of the military splits further into 3 groups.<br /><br />                        1. Imperial Inquisition - a secret organisation that exists outside the standard administrative hierarchy of the Holy Empire. The Inquisition acts as the secret police force of the Empire, hunting down any and all of the myriad threats to the stability of the Emperor's realm.<br />                        <br />                         2. Officio Assassinorum - a highly secretive agency of the Holy Empire's government that employs different  "temples" that train Assassins to further the goals and protect the security of the Holy Empire. Although the Inquisition strikes fear in the hearts of all Imperial citizens, loyal and corrupt alike, the deadly disciples of the Officio Assassinorum strike fear in the hearts of even the most savvy, battle-hardened of Imperial warriors.<br /><br />                         3. Military Intelligence (MI) - in charge of reconnaissance, infiltration, and Secret Police work. Though they are part of the Secret Police, they are means as great as the Imperial Inquisition. The main difference between the two is that The Inquisition are so secretive and never left a trace, it is almost as if the Inquisition never existed. Rather than the MI who's identities are known to the public, but still maintains its secretive works.</li></ul><p><strong>Research and Development Corps.</strong>: Highly Classified</p><p> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>*****CULTURAL INFO*****</strong></p><p><strong>Ethnicity</strong>: Mixed<br /><strong>Demonym</strong>: Imperialist / Imperial Citizen<br /><strong>Capital City</strong>: Pendragon (The City)<br /><strong>Major Cities</strong>: Cadia (Main Military Training Site), Titanos (Commercial City), Ferrum (Cultural Hub), Stratos (Most Populated)</p><p><strong>Religion</strong>: Imperialism, Catholicism, Islam, Orthodox Christianity, and Protestantism.<br /> </p><p>In terms of culture, the Holy Empire is vast with culture of different variety.

rights abuses and an ongoing civil war. FP was later forced out of power<br />
by Sionnach and the Communist Party- Fox Fire was named a president<br />

Party. Despite past conflicts and creating a civil war, they have been<br />

conservative party." They maintain a very strong public voice.<br />

You, too, must be here for the same reasons as the others. You are not aware? Ah, my mistake. I had assumed that everyone had known of the warlords meeting today. They just left recently. All left as they came -- on foot. As you can see things have started to settle down, and I promise you it is not always so busy. The kraal of Bulawayo are not always so hurried. What happened, you ask? (Grinning, looking to the setting horizon in the West.) A momentous day. The Zulu Kingdom begins! </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p>The negotiations had left the kingdom at a standstill. Very rare was it that the most powerful of the region were called together. From each of the kingdom's eleven territories each reigning warlord had been summoned to a central location. For what reason? Word had broken out of the changing of time. Recently, it had been relayed to a local shaman that tribes of all types from all places were oganizing. Some peaceful, some not. The Zulu people were generally docile, yet due to the beating sun and the nature of their herder/hunter lifestyle their bodies were naturally hardened. While conflict was not prevelant amongst the tribal states, the Zulu still possessed considerable military organization and tactical prowess when compared to most of their time. As for political organization, the time of peace had done the Zulu well. Strong-men often led the territories of local tribes, but an usual peaceful decade allowed for some of the more organized and creative leaders to gain notoreity. It was one of these men, in fact, that emerged from the negotiations as the sole leader of the Zulu.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This man was named Shaka.</p><p> </p><p><span>http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H8W_QVlUizg/SStOVBXpYZI/AAAAAAAAAD8/B7PkrRr9eGY/s400/ShakaZulu.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>Shaka was a muscular man but had many qualities that did differentiate himself from others. For one, he had a speech impediment. Not entirely significant but enough to notice. He had a long drawn out forehead, and two prominent front teeth. He often joked that he could not kill some of his rivals because people would think he merely killed them out of jealousy of their looks. But beyond his eyes there was a man who could unify his people through rhetoric and was equally matched as a diplomat. Skills that would be important in the coming time. Shaka did not know what lay before his people, but he knew that he would have to use all of his talent to prevent the strong-men of yesteryear from usurping power and to watch his beloved Zulu ascend into prosperity.</p><p> </p><p>Hlonipha Ngaumkhonto</p><p> </p><p>Honor by Spear</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">33737</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:25:25 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
