Burke

Government

Burke as well as with the rest of the Imperium is an Authoritative state where the local military who doubles as city guard uphold the law on the streets in accordance to Cairn's laws. Honored Ones of Cairn serve as judge, jury, and executioner in court. Taxation in Burke, and the Imperium as a whole is quite high; 62% across the board for all citizens with slaves being exempt as they are not true Imperial citizens. Due to the high taxation rates most things for citizens are accommodated for them. Housing, food, jobs, education, and healthcare are provided for all, slaves included.

Defences

Blacksteel walls, towers, and the Ebon Corps protect this city from threats both external and internal.

The major factories are owned by Gorbin & Reed Armaments, Trents' Carpentry, Vargus Metalworks, and Ekiros Industries.
