Alte

The city of Alte, is the capital city of Imperatoria. Located in Australiquia, Alteniquia, Alte is located on-top of Montrouge and looks over the land below from every direction. Its high altitude is credited for its name. Not only is the view beautiful from the central fortress, but it is very easy to defend from the top of the steep mountain. Located on the fringes of Theios-Essukdal, Alte was to be one of the God-Emperor's many bastions in the region. The city is surrounded by a large oak forest that stretches from Lantstein to a smaller spruce forest next to the Atsyllean Sea.

History
Originally intending to settle in a small bay, the followers of the God-Emperor were kicked out of their first domicile by the coastal town of Pudding. Outraged by this aggression, but wanting his people to stay safe, God-Emperor MrAshApple and his followers left everything behind to eventually settle in an abandoned fort on the mountain top of Montrouge. The fort was mostly restored by the God-Emperor, his Superintendent treelopi, Overlord Captain_Dino_CEO, and Lord Opennoob. The walls were repaired, the tower re-built and the crops re-planted. The city of Alte had a promising future. A few months after Alte's establishment, it was abandoned. three days later, on july fifth 2021, a new group of people moved in and founded Soulmir.

Government
The government of Alte is strongly linked to Imperatoria's. The city's official flag is a modified version of the national flag. If Imperatoria's banner was to change, so would Alte's. The leader of Alte (called a baron) becomes the de-facto God-Emperor and rules over the other cities. Alte serves as headquarters for Imperatoria's government, as a palace is being built. The Baron and therefore the God-Emperor has near absolute control on everything while serving as the leading religious figure. The social structure of Alte is based on the national one where the working class is divided between five ministries: Production, War, Commerce, Internal Affairs and love. At the moment, all of the ministries are based in Alte.

Construction
The construction of Alte has just begun, but much is already planned for the city. First, the inner walls must be complete. Only the front and left sides are completely protected from outside forces. Then, the Imperial palace must be constructed. Since this is the capital city, Alte will be the primary residence of the God-Emperor and his staff. As more followers of the God-Emperor integrate into Alte, the exterior farmland and habitational areas was to be expanded to accommodate for the growing population.

Religion and Culture
The official religion of Alte is Servantism. Servantism is a religion that worships the God-Emperor who is not only head of state but also the religious leader. The Grand Church of the God-Emperor is also under construction within the inner fortress. Every week, followers of the God-Emperor will assemble in the Grand Church and will burn gold in the holy fire as sign of their devotion.

There is no generic culture in Alte. People from different paths all come together weather they are warriors, cave-dwellers, or monks. Violence and diplomacy are both valued equally and used in different situations as needed. Other cities of the Land of the God-Emperor have more specific cultures, as Terra-Marique is mostly a coastal city with a more peaceful and commerce-focused mentality.
