The Imperius Reich is a sovereign nation-state spanning the whole of the Continent of Eastera.

The Reich began in the Third Era, by Riverland settlers whom, after the Great Grief, under Borous of Blackwater Base, requested the Emperor of Kythira to receive land and independence. In return for Blackwater Base, Kythira granted the group the small desert island of Dorwall, just off the coast of Redstonia, as well as all territory they may colonize on the continent of Eastera, east of the Narrow Sea.

History

The Imperius Reich began in the Third Era, as the Empire of Imperius. After Coetzeeclan, the Emperor of Kythira, had started to unify and rebuild the Old World, a group of Riverlanders, led by Borous of Castle Blackwater, requested the Kythiran Emperor to allow them to form their own independent nation. This request was granted by the Emperor, and he bestowed upon them the small desert island of Dorwall, just off the coast of the Fortress City of Redstonia, as well as all lands of Eastera, the unexplored continent east of the Narrow Sea. In return, Kythira received the Castle of Blackwater, which they considered a historical structure.

Setting sail towards the island, they used their boats to construct the first homes, which eventually would transform into the town of Dorwall. Whilst Kythira was working on making the Old World a unified whole, the people of Imperius began the Great March East, colonizing vast plots of Eastera, before that unexplored. Forming numerous towns and cities, eventually the lands colonized became so vast they matched Kythira in size.

Cities

Imperia - Capital of the Imperius Reich

Government and Politics

Unlike the Empire of Kythira, the Imperius Reich has an elected monarch with full autocratic power. The seat of power, Eagles Reach, inside the capital city of Imperia, is where national and international matters are discussed and deliberated upon. Though several peace treaties with the Kythiran Empire exist, conflicts between the two nations are relatively common, often resulting in new treaties and sometimes the annexation of territory.

The Imperius Reich is split into several provinces, each ruled by a chancellor who, semi-independently, reports only to the Kaiser, similar to the High-Lord system of Kythira.

Military

Whilst the Kythiran military is primarily split among separate armies, each under the control of their respective High-Lord, the Imperius military is one unified force, which in terms of manpower far outmatches the Kythirans. The Imperius military is also one of the most well funded in the world in terms of research and development, constantly bringing new types of weaponry and technological advancements to Minecraftia. This often results in military standoffs between the nations, but so far a full war has never occurred between the Empires. For this, leading scholars have several theories:

The Trauma Theory

The Trauma Theory states that the two Empires never have engaged in full war due to fears of repeating the events of the Great Grief.

The Sea Theory

The Sea Theory states that the two Empires never have engaged in full war due to the Narrow Sea preventing a land army from quick mobilization into foreign territory, unlike the Great Grief and the numerous wars in the Second Era, all of which were fought on the same continent. Furthermore, the strong naval presence and coastal defenses of both nations make an invasion even more dangerous to accomplish.

The Trade Theory

The Money Theory states that the two Empires never have engaged in full war due to it endangering trade between the two nations, making warfare not financially viable.

The Expanse Theory

The Expanse Theory states that the two Empires never have engaged in full war due to both empires having reached such large sizes that resource wars are as of yet unnecessary, compared to the Second Era, where there were both more and smaller nation-states, resulting in the need for territorial expansion or raids in order to survive.

Economy

Though originally having a primitive trading system, the Imperius Reich today stands as a industrial superpower. The national currency is the GDE or Green Dragon Emerald, provided by the stateless Mercenary Bank. The world's largest trade organization hails from Imperius, operating the largest ships in Minecraftia's history. Where Imperius is rich in resources, Kythira is extremely wealthy, making the two natural trading partners.

Where the Kythiran Empire's industry is split between government mandated monopolistic provinces, where the Crown makes money primarily through levies, the Imperius Empire has a more unified industry, primarily focused on raw natural resources.

Whilst the Kythiran Empire has barely moved into their Farlands, preferring to stay within their borders, the Imperians are in constant conflict with theirs, using them to extract tons of resources through strip-mining these foreign lands.

This has caused several conflicts between the Eagles Reach and the Minecraftia Forum, the latter fearing human rights abuses, as the farlands fall outside of Imperius law.

Official Languages

Being a people originating from the Riverlands in Westeria, they share the same languages as the Kythirans, these being:

Riverlandish: Based on the Dutch language

Low-Riverlandish: Based on the English language

Redstonian: A mixture of Germanic and Nordic languages

These three different languages are a legacy from the First and Second Era and the different city-states across Westeria.

-}}Kythira is ruled by the House Coetzee, a noble house that is among the oldest houses in Westeria, like House Whaza or the extinct House Mercenary. Originating as Riverlanders, they were the ones to first create a unified state: The Kingdom of Kythira. Today, only two members of the house remain: Lord Squarepantstoo, who lives in Castle Fuertera, and Emperor Coetzeeclan.
-==Noble Houses==
-Kythira, being ruled by a noble class, has several noble houses amongst her citizens, the most important of these being the following:
-'''House Whaza:'''
-Though originally a royal house in the Second Era, House Whaza today is the second most powerful noble house within the Empire of Kythira after the Royal Family. After being knighted Knight of the Tower, Lord [[Whazajottom]], the former King of Redstonia, was elevated to the position of High-Lord of Ardoragh. Later on he was even given the rank of Crown Prince of Kythira, meaning he is to seize power once the Emperor ceases or steps down from his service. This makes Whazajottom's full title Crown Prince Whazajottom of Kythira, High-Lord of Ardoragh and Knight of the Tower. His brother, Duke Corspin, rules the city of Kreonix in High-Lord Whazajottom's name. High-Lord Whazajottom himself resides in his palace in the city of Alralysva, but due to his powerful position, he also has a residence in the Empire's capital of Helmira, namely the Ardoragh Palace.
-'''House Joey:'''
-Riverlandish in origin, House Joey is the ruling house of the province of Alcanzar. The only surviving member of this noble house, High-Lord SillyJoey rules the well defended but economically weak province from castle Verano in the city of Solleria.
-'''House Agricola:'''
-The House Agricola claim themselves to be related to Consul Republic, the founder of the short-lived Federation of Provinces in the Second Era. Today their last remaining member, though not being of true nobility, rules the Golden Province of Camuria in the absence of a High-Lord. This is Lord-Protector P. Decius Agricola. They were also a leading cause behind the re-militarization of the Kythiran Royal Guard, producing what we today know as the Imperial Legion.
-'''House Wolf:'''
-House Wolf is a young house, being elevated into nobility during the Fourth Era. They founded and were behind most of the construction of the City of Yrticil. The current head of the house, and ruler of the city in name of High-Lord Whazajottom is Duke WhiteWolfXD98.
-'''House Hjerte:'''
-Like House Wolf, House Hjerte is one of the youngest noble houses, being elevated into nobility during the Fourth Era. They are behind the construction of a massive palace, the largest the world has seen at that stage, in the middle of the Fjarthrond Forest. The current ruler of this house is Duchess Hartje.
-The The '''Imperius Reich''' is located on the east of The [[Empire of Kythira|Kythiran Empire]] and spans the whole continent of Eastera
-The Empire was founded from a large portion of the survivors of the Great Grief During the beginning of the Third Era, It was founded By the Jarl Borous of Blackwater Base. He together with other members of the Unific Order Founded the the Imperius Reich. With this the scattered groups of Eastera were united into one Autocratic Union State. Shortly after this Borous Was automatically elected as Kaiser Of the Imperius Territories that was now known as the Imperius Reich.
-The Reich's main seat of power is located in the Eagles Reach inside the Reich's capital: Imperia
-The Reich is split up in multiple provinces and each Ruled by its own chancellors who stand only beneath the Kaiser himself. The territories outside these provinces are refereed to as the Farlands and are subdue to strip mining by the Reich and are often found to be the source of conflict against the outer provinces.
