United Empire of Akratia

The United Empire of [Redacted], commonly known as [Redacted], was an expansionist and militarist federation. [Redacted] was established after the creation of its capital,[Redacted], on 10 October 2020, by a [Redacted] migrants in search of their promised land. Their original homeland was on the continent of Sørligste, in the ancient city of [Redacted]. The Empire strived to expand its borders quickly, aiming to unify the [Redacted] while securing it's territory and hegemony.

Government
While the Emperor held absolute power over the state and ran it from the [Redacted], the empire's territories were fragmented into multiple Duchies that were governed by old aristocratic families, high-ranking military, and wealthy landowners. These formed an unofficial court that acted as a check and balance on the power of the Emperor. An essential right they own is that their appointees could act as governors over their respective lands with full Imperial support. They could therefore automatically create small empires.

Religion
The [Redacted] are always open to a multitude of religion and beliefs, but the majority of the [Redacted] are confident in their beliefs of their protective god, which they consider to be 'the god above all', 'the first and the only' and 'the being of time'. Some myth says that his incarnation still lives among them, watching over them and offering some chosen ones the ability to manipulate time.

The pursuit of wealth and the belief in science and industrial development has replaced most traditional forms of religion in [Redacted]. Forms of meditation still existed in mysticism and martial arts, but were not widely practiced. The government of the United Empire prefer to be worshiped itself instead of some imperceptible deity.

Culture
[Redacted] society is oriented towards creation of wealth, the expansion of their territory, and spreading its culture of martial might and patriotism. [Redacted] perceive fertile lands and resources as scarce. This struggle for resources is consider a threat to the very existence of the [Redacted] Empire and it's people. They believe that other nations will conquer the lands and gain an upper hand if stagnation ever occurred.

The [Redacted] are known to be a people with unparalleled determination to secure their future, possessing a strong sense of duty, honor and loyalty towards their friends and, most importantly, their Emperor.

Origins
The [Redacted] are descendants of the [Redacted], a race foreign to Rathnir. They first settled the city of [Redacted] on Sørligste, but the extreme conditions and the multiple casualties caused by interdimensional travel resulted in the separation of their different groups. Legend says that the [Redacted] were the ones following the incarnation of their god to the promised land. Arriving thousand of years ago on the [Redacted], they settled in a valley where they build [Redacted].

Several [Redacted] groups scattered across the [Redacted], forming several kingdoms, guilds, factions and even sects, all remaining faithful in their traditions. When Emperor [Redacted] established himself ruler, it did not take much effort to unite parts of the [Redacted].

The Emperor and Nobility
The first and only Emperor used to be [Redacted]. The unification of diverse [Redacted] kingdoms into the former Empire could largely be attributed to his leadership, commonly described as visionary but brutal. He rallied the [Redacted] Kingdoms, families and factions behind him and applied force to convince opposition.

During this consolidation process, a number of powerful family groups formed to support the Emperor's project. Deeply rooted in the society of the Empire, they have for centuries built economic and political power to the point where they could declare themselves [Redacted].
