The Mregian Empire
The Mregian Empire currently-(3000 AC) consists of these countries: Mregia, Verna, Kalgitia, Mrostaki, Matilan, Inikraya, Metonia, Hakenor, Yhomdhu, Kosuria, Lyreso, Sucheria, Dejerua, Dygisau, Agersalis, Moteria, Donomia, Beseio, Kelpia, Khabrita, and Bysherta.
Structure
Emperor / Ilbihis - this can be one of the house heads, depending on support and legitimacy for the throne. Whoever it is has almost full control over the Empire, but cannot usually meddle in the affairs of each House.
House head / Teinam- These are the masters of each house, they vote on Empire wide laws to be passed, give council to the Emperor, and represent their various territories owned by their houses lords. They control vast amounts of territories, which are cut into slices ruled by their relatives.
Royal lord / Hyavind- In control of large regions or countries, Hyavinds are part of a House family, and are related to the Teinam. Their children will inherit their title.
Continental lord / Sydüvind - The ruler of a continent. This is a secondary title given to a Hyavind or Teinam. The Sydüvind is in charge of a continents entire armed forces, if a major rebellion develops, or an extra-continental entity attempts to invade, they have full authority on how to deal with the aberration.
Viceroy / Sotarvind - The ruler installed to rule over a country that has become part of the Empire, they are higher than a normal lord, have more duties, and land. Sotarvinds are usually chosen from the native population, to smooth the transition. They still report directly to Hyavind in charge of the territory, who keep a close eye on them.
lords / Vind - These are ordinary people given the title of lord, the lowest on the totem pole called Royalty, although they aren't considered particularly royal. They have even smaller territories under a High lord. No larger than a few miles, often containing a single city or a smattering of villages. Low lords do most of the actual governing of territories. They are also responsible for training and maintaining their own army, gathering taxes, and keeping their territory safe from threats.
History
The Empire used to be a single nation, which used to be a colony. A small fleet of ships fled Rezakia to escape the war that ravaged it.
The first Mregians set foot on a continent called Nylicert, and set to work fighting for a corner to call home. There were 2 other nations that already lived there.
Kalgitia was fighting the newly formed country of Verna, and had their hands full, suddenly Mregia joins the war, it's foreign and feisty warriors blazing across the northern Kalgitian territories, pushing their borders back. Eventually things settled, as the once mighty Kalgitia could no longer fight on two fronts, they built great walls to keep out their enemies and bided their time.
A few centuries later, and Mregian society now consisted of several royal houses, united under their Monarch. The houses were formed to protect the various areas of the kingdom. One day the tensions between Verna, Kalgitia and Mregia exploded into a war that lasted for 30 years.
Kalgitia was destroyed within 10 years, but the very defensive Vernans put up more of a fight, hiding behind thick walls and advances in technology. Vernans made guns and crude tanks, which they used to push Mregia back.
They got too cocky though, coming out of their shells a bit too much. Mregia made their own guns and hit back with overwhelming power.
Verna surrendered before their whole country was destroyed as Kalgitia was.
The 3 nations united to form an empire so strong it would eventually overthrow the planet.
Tensions were high at first, but everyone was too exhausted from such a long war not many people rebelled. Kalgitian pirates struck often from the islands they were forced to live on.
Vernans mostly accepted their situation, and made the best of it.
The newly crowned Empress Pevytos, first of her rank, created the foundation of the new empire. In her final days she founded O.M.E.F followed by O.M.R the united Mregian Armed forces, and United Mregian Navy, respectively.
Setisa Hokra created several laws that would further strengthen the Empire, more rights and opportunities for Vernans, Kalgitians, and any future citizens of the empire. She was killed by Rezakian pirates that were more frequently attacking Nylicert.
Setisas death prompted her only Daughter to start the first war the empire would face, against the largest continent on the planet.
The Rezakian war would take many lives, and may not have been the best first target, but it ended in relative success.
Various countries in Rezakia were freed, and helped push out the pirates that held them hostage. Even today the Pirate lords are being hunted, but the invasion of Rezakia has come to a stalemate, as the pirates and Mregian held territories struggle to capture neutral countries, and keep rebellious ones from breaking free of their grasp.
Next on the conquest list was Mryzliria, people of the icy north. Emperor Teis, the first male ruler in centuries, believed that conquering them was preferable to being their friends. His sister believed otherwise.
The war comes to a stalemate, as Mregian ships have a hard time pushing into Mryzlirias icy territory.
A nearby nation, Ikrevia, threatens both sides with war if they will not share their weaponry and technology. Mregia refuses outright, but Mryzliria sells them weapons. A mistake, as Ikrevia soon goes to war with Mryzliria.
During this time Teis dies, and Setari takes the crown, a worrying prospect as she cannot have children. She manages to get a truce with Mryzliria, to fight the Ikrevian threat.
Ikrevia is sufficiently beaten back, most of their western waters taken by Mregia and Mryzliria.
Arlerik, Ikrevias ally, threatens to join the war, and is in a perfect position to assault the Empires' Rezakian territories.
Mregia is forced to go into peace talks with Mryzliria, Ikrevia, and Arlerik.
After the war, the other nations of Vona see how much of a threat Mregia really is, and defensive pacts start popping up everywhere.
Nations pair off, and prepare for the biggest war in Vonarian history.
Empress Setari uses a lot of diplomatic sway to repair relations between her Empire and Mryzliria, returning territory, and giving aid. Somehow she manages to form a defensive pact with Mryzliria.
The year is 3015, space programs are in their infancy and various countries join the race to land on Vonas closest moon. The Empire is still healing after the 30 year naval war recently. Luckily, Mryzliria has helped replenish their ships. Near the end of the year Ikrevia and Arlerik declare war on the Rezakian territories. The coasts are shelled relentlessly, and the are becomes a massive naval battle, the likes of which has never been seen before. Mregia simply can't keep sending more ships to protect Rezakian coasts, and is forced to retreat. It turns into a full scale invasion of the territories. Despite heavy resistance, Ikrevia manages to gain a foothold on several beaches. All within a year.
In 3016 The Viceroy of Rezakia tries to muster a counter attack to push Ikrevia back, but Ikrevia cuts entire countries in half, enforcing their horrific religious practices on the natives.
In 3018 Empress Setari has her brain transferred to a new body, and immediately her personality is changed. She starts work on a new war machine that could turn the tide of the war. With some trouble getting a proof of concept to show to the House lords, the machine is approved for full scale production.
3019 - Half way through the year, several Benü are deployed to the Rezakian front. Ikrevian forces are wholly unprepared for this new weapon, and are quickly pushed into a full retreat. Meanwhile. Mryzliria has finally made landfall in northern Ikrevia, putting them in a very difficult position. This may be a turning point, but the war is only just getting started....
3025 - The war is going well. Rezakia is almost completely free of Ikrevian forces, with Arlerik troops holding out further east. The invasion of North Ikrevia has seen little progress, it is assumed they are holding off on using their full military might, hoping to wear down Mryzlirian forces for a decisive counter attack. Lioce has joined the war, putting pressure on Arlerik. It would seem the war is nearly at an end, but that was before streaks of fire lit up the skies.
History log end date: 3006
Demography and Population
Mregia is mainly made up of (from most to least) Mregians, Vernans, Rezakians, Kalgitians, other.
Other refers to foreigners of the empire, and is a very small amount.
Territories
The homeland; Nylicert, is the strongest territory that the empire currently owns.
The Rezakian continent is not completely under control, rebels and pirates plague the massive continent. It is also becoming the main source of Mregias income and materials.
Military
The Mregian military consists of a few organisations:
O.M.E.F (Ordit Mregura Enlit Fysi's // United Mregian Armed Forces) O.M.E.F is made up of all the royal territories and their armies, and is cut into 2 different sections: Air and land.
O.M.R (Ordit Mregura Refa // United Mregian Navy) works separately from O.M.E.F, and makes up most of the sea forces of the empire.
R.T.F (Rezakian Defence Force) is run by native Rezakians to help bolster the defences of the continent. Eventually R.T.F will be merged or disbanded as the Empire gains more soldiers to properly defend the continent.
M.T.F (Mregian Defence Force) The defenders of Mregian territory, they don't see as much combat, and aren't as well trained. They mainly deal with internal conflicts, criminal or rebel threats. Each lord must maintain his/her own M.T.F so one territory may have less defence forces. This doesn't essentially mean a weak link in the chain, as neighbouring territories must defend those around them if external forces attack.
Technological Level
The technology of Mregia and the rest of Vona is similar to 2010 earth. Mobile phones are the preferred form of communication, but the internet is not very interconnected. Rather than every country being connected via the internet, Vonarian nations have limited connections with each other due to hostilities.
As you have probably already read, Cyborgs and airships exist, yet the space age has barely even begun.
People can become a new form of being, and be essentially immortal. Brains can be transplanted into terrifying machines of war, or robot bodies in the event their organic one is too damaged.
Religion
Various religions are practiced in the empire, none are forbidden, but Mregians make it a point to be loud and proud about their own.
Foreign Relations
Currently (3006) the rest of the world has close eyes on Mregia, as it has proven ambitious and aggressive.
Mryzliria are currently allies with Mregia. Though they don't trust Mregia after the damage they had done.
Ikrevia and Arlerik are currently enemies of the empire, they believe they must "liberate" the Rezakian continent from Mregia.
Lioce, Mylito, and Esowek are watching the situation tentatively, knowing full well the danger of allowing Mregia to just continue on it's current path.
The odds are stacked against Mregia greatly, no country trusts them, and they are outnumbered, even their first, and largest conquered state rebels against them.
Trade & Transport
The empire gets much material and food from Rezakia.
There is also a trade deal with Mryzliria.
Lioce, Mylito, Esowek, and Mryzliria conduct trade deals with the private companies of Mregia, trading civillian items like food, hardware such as computers and phones, and even vehicles.
Ikrevia is opposed to taking in foreign items, or selling their own.
Arlerik occasionally sells it's advanced technology for the right price, even including weapons technology.
Education
The empire enforces a basic education, with privately run colleges and universities giving advanced courses to those with the money or status.
Of course Rezakia doesn't have many Universities or even schools, and this is a problem some in the empire are trying to mitigate.
Infrastructure
Mregia has bustling cities much like you'd find on earth. Of course, earth doesn't have airships, these have been around since ancient times, and are becoming more and more advanced and common along as technology get's better. Skyscraper sized towers, called 'skydocks' service these floating behemoths, allowing a vast amount of people to travel in comfort. Though they are magnificent vehicles with many advantages, it is not possible to build them in the same quantity as regular aircraft, the skydocks of Mregia are ancient, and only a few modern examples have been built.
Airships can carry a ludicrous amount of cargo at high speed through the sky to wherever it's needed. Making the Mregian economy one of the best in the world. There is at least 1 skydock in each city, and more are being built in Rezakia to enable mass construction and migration.
