Founding of The Radch
The Imperial Radch was founded by one Chidius Caldarian II. The land that the Radch is on originally belonged to the Second Empire of Uldarash and was classified as Imperial land. However during the time of the second empires collapse the then empress Scotch Knight began to auction of the land. Thus Chidius came to purchase the land for the Kingdom of Chevkri. Following this action the Radch then known as Caldaria became a province inside of Chevkri. At this time the Kingdom of Chevkri became part of the newly created state The Union of Haven. Soon after doing this though Chevkri collapsed and separated in its original provinces: Caldaria/Radch, Kingdom of Nebula, Laurentides, Umbria, ZTK, Rexhold, and Dande. With this the Radch became an independent state within the Union and immediately set about leaving. After two weeks it did finally becoming its own truly sovereign nation.

Culture of the Radch
The Radch mainly takes after the culture of Dande as it is essentially a transplant population of the Vanir race and culture. However the people residing in the Radch mainly in the city of Orpi have created their own unique brand of the Vanir people, preferring darker blue glass forms supplemented with multicolored clothing. They enjoy a number of traditions ranging from simple pottery too their much more open worship of the Gods of the Seven Pacts.

Government of the Radch
The Imperial Radch is generally a monarchy in nature with the main flow of power going through the monarch known as the Imperial Radchaai or just RadchLord, The current Radchaai is Chidius Caldarian II. While most duties fall upon this own person they often delegate their power onto others creating many positions such as Diplomatic Officer of the Radch, or official Radch Translator. The Radch has found that a simple system works best especially after the failures of Uldarash and Chevkri.
