The Crimson Empire
The Crimson Empire is the largest powerhouse on Terratos, formed from an alliance between Humans, Dwarves and Ashens to offer mutual protection against the Elves, but in present day it is mainly run by Humans.
Structure
Head of state
The Crimson Empire is ruled by a Supreme Emperor who has the final say on all the legislation and decisions of the Empire. To keep the underlying countries in check, the Emperor also personally appoints governors to participate in the rule of those countries. In Ethonia, this person is even recognised as the official head of state. In the Dwarven country of Norheimsk, the governor has the least amount of recognition.
Emperor's influence
In order to directly carry is will onto his citizens, the Crimson Empire has the largest military and policing force on the continent, directly at the Emperor's command. In addition to this, the Sentinels, an elite branch within the military, are tasked with tracking down and neutralizing anyone or anything that's considered a threat to the integrity of the Crimson Empire.Day to day rule
The day to day affairs of the Crimson Empire are handled by the Imperial governors. These governors all have a council serving beneath them who propose laws for the Empire, which when approved are sent to the Emperor for final approval. This council is primarily made up of the local population, but most of them are Imperial loyalists to assure the Emperor's will is ever prevalent.Policing, health care and public safety
The Crimson Empire has a centralized public service department, operating from within The Citadel, but with offices in every major settlement across the Imperial lands. This public service unit directly handles policing on behalf of the Emperor, health care and fire safety. The police force only consists of Footsoldiers, light cavalry and in The Citadel, Imperial Sentinels are also seen actively patrolling the streets. Many settlements also choose to maintain their own policing forces alongside the Imperial garrisons.Military affairs
The Imperial Military is under the direct command of the Emperor, but generals lead the military on the Emperor's behalf.Public Agenda
The Crimson Empire has a strong distaste towards Magicka due to the events of the Human-Elf War. Therefore, the Emperor is constantly moving to monopolize the use of Magicka further towards his inner circle through acts such as the Great Reformation.

Presence

History
The Crimson Empire started out as a feeble alliance between Humans, Dwarves and Ashens shortly after the Human-Elf War in order to form a unified front against any future Elven aggression and to offer mutual protection in the event of a war. Through rising tension between Humans and Elves, Humans reforged this alliance into an Empire and the other nations pledged their allegiance to this newly formed Empire.
The Crimson Empire got its name from the location of its capital, The Citadel, which is surrounded by the Crimson Plains, vast plains with an abundance of a mineral known as Crimsomnium, giving the soil a red color.

Technological Level
Foreign Relations
The Crimson Empire is on good terms with Ethonia and The Dead Frontier but the relationship with Norheimsk is on the tense side because of the Empire's view towards Elves and that they are buying up large amounts of Valvium, leaving little for the Dwarves themselves.
The relationship with Ulf of Mythril is especially tense due to the events of the Human-Elf War and the Great Reformation.
Agriculture & Industry
Most of its architecture comes from Ethonia since the soil there is most fertile out of the nations the Empire controls. The majority of the industry comes from Norheimsk and The Citadel.
Trade & Transport
Most of the trade within the Crimson Empire takes place between the Empire itself and the member states, and by citizens buying merchandise from the Imperial cities.
Education
Infrastructure
All of the major settlements within the Crimson Empire are connected with The Citadel either through tunnel networks, roads or sea. The minor settlements also have roads leading to them but the roads most traveled are the ones that lead to or pass through The Citadel.
