The Imperium
9 years ago
Yeah it's called the imperium, I couldn't think up a better name and this seems to work good for now. Anyway, onwards to information time.
First off, Setting! Where is the Imperium located in terms of setting you may ask, well it's a post modern fantasy setting, think something akin to the Marvel Universe. A nice mixture of some higher end tech and very mild space travel but no open colonization of other worlds and the like, and of course a nice bundle of magical elements as well, such as other realms, daemons, ect.
Onwards to the story.
The Imperium's roots are traced towards Africa during the cold war era, former soviet russian military commanders unsatisfied with the corruption and along side with germans fleeing persecution for doing work under the nazi's. These associates met in their travels, joined forces, along the way they raided various former and forgotten nazi labs for resources, one such lab housed an otherworldly being, one whom was very grateful for her release.
The reason behind the unification of the russian's and germans was their groups rather unique makeup, they were mostly hermaphrodites, they used this common trait among them to bond, starting forming ideals for their group to follow, adopting traits from one anothers former association, and it was from this adopting of traits that they released the alien from her captivity, and in return she offered the group the knowledge and means to set forth their own group to have it grow and prosper.
In their travels they found themselves in africa, using the thick jungles as their initial base of operations. Soon after their arrival, and starting to create their base in the underground of africa, they stumble across ruins of a long forgotten roman city, one that had tried to take up root in africa, some writings found showed that the city was built by a boat of soldiers that had lost their way and crashed, using the local tribes as slave labor to build the city and leave their mark, the mark of their empire. Now the group had no name yet, and with these bones of this empire they decided to restructure themselves into an empire, an Imperium.
So they grow in secret, keeping themselves hidden by building underground, expanding slowly and taking in the local tribes as migrants, indoctrinating them into the Imperium. As the Imperium creates a baseline, separating the migrants from citizens, the migrants of the imperium are to be given housing, food, water, recreational entertainment(internet/cable), education, all the things necessary for an enjoyable life, and Imperium citizen's are given the same things just a more luxurious version of such, namely referring to housing and food and their recreationational tools(Citizens have bigger pools, houses, fancier food.) as well as modes of transporation, migrant's have public transport and citizen's have personal vehicles.
The difference between mirgants and citizens is fairly simple, only Hermaphrodites can be citizens of the Imperium, other genders are migrants. Now those who wish to join willingly are given the choice to be converted, the Imperium's advanced technology allowing them to do so and create fully fertile, and virile, hermaphrodites with minimum effort, allowing non herms to convert into them and be full citizens. Migrant's taken by force have to prove their loyalty before being given the option, though the life of a Migrant is still a very comfortable one, compared to most out in the world.
The Imperium is structured in a "three heads" system, a head of the military, the people, and the infastructure, they are elected and voted by the citizens of the imperium but that doesn't leave the migrant's completely out of the loop as there are citizens to govern over the migrants and these governors take in votes from the migrants and cast their votes for whom the migrants voted for. Now this system that is in place has the heads in their term for four years, with no limit on how many times they may serve, so long the people vote for them they can serve.
This baseline of how they treat their migrants helped inspire people to join the imperium willingly later on once their presence is known to the world, which took some years. The Imperium grew into strength in secret as the rest of the world matured as well, though with their alien friend the Imperium grew in strength, advanced technology at their disposal, a government system created to be resistant to corruption, sizable and well trained army, they were in a position of strength and announced themselves to the world, a simple statement of their intentions, "We are here to conquer, either through peaceful of aggressive means, we prefer peaceful."
And that is where we are.
