Holy Truidencian Empire

The Holy Truidencian Empire (Norwegian, Hellige Trudensiske Rike/Heilage Trydensiske Rike, Latvian: Svētā Trūdencijas Impērija, Faroese: Heilaga Ríkið Trýdensia), commonly known as Truidencia, HTE and (the now incorrect abbreviation) IT like its predecessors, is the direct successor to the iterations of Imperial Truidence through the ages, namely The Second Truidencian Empire (CivClassic with Obtainable Spatula as Emperor), the brief Third Truidencian Empire (Devoted Hell), and The First Truidencian Empire (CivClassic with Bez as Emperor).

Almost every core member from the end of CivClassic, with the addition of some other established players, will aid in the founding of the Holy Truidencian Empire.

Political System
The Truidencian political system is characterized by its three entities of legislative power: The elected Landsraad, The Riksraad and The Emperor. At the start of each month elections for Landsraad representatives are held, where any citizen may run for office. The landsraad’s primary purpose is proposing new laws and voting on internal issues that may arise. The Landsraad's decisions may however be vetoed by The Emperor, should he deem it absolutely necessary. The Landsraad might also in practice be overruled by The Riksraad, since its members may vote in both The Landsraad and The Riksraad, although this may change once prominant politicians arise.

The names "Riksraad" and "Landsraad" are both of scandinavian origin. Their conception as institutions of Truidencia were inspired by the Dune universe's imperial Landsraad and the historic aristocratic councils known as "Riksråd" that came to be in late-medieval scandinavia. Landsråd means "council of the land" and in turn "people", while Riksråd means "council of the realm", it can also be translated into "imperial/royal council". The letter Å was decided to be written as a double A to make it so that people not familiar with the letter Å would not get too confused and alienated while still retaining its foreign nature. While this leads people to pronounce their names incorrectly without knowing any better, it was deemed a necessary compromise.

Poltitical Parties
The Riksraad's members host as patreons and leaders of all official political parties and factions per constitution to ensure that the various parties and interest groups are always represented.

No polticial parties have officially been established as of yet. The houses are at peace.

Pan-Truidencianism
Pan-Truidencianism is an ideology native to Truidencia that defines all those who are believers of The True Faith to be Truidencians, whether or not they are citizens or even live in Truidencia. There is a wish for them to eventually "return home" or make their current home a part of Truidencia itself. This movement was named "Pan-Truidencianism", the uniting of all truidencian peoples.

National Policy
The internal practices of the empire

Flag Laws
The Truidencian "State Flag" may only be flown by the government or with permission from the government, while the "Civil Flag" may be flown by anyone.

Economic System
The Empire's economic system as conceptualized by Icyski is based on a theory of an economy where all members of society are encouraged to contribute to the nation’s internal flow of materials, goods and capital via "missions" and "quests" to aquire materials and items of varying degree of complexity. These are made available by the government are all paid upon completion with the empire's own national currency known as "Imperial Crowns", which can be used as legal tender within the empire.

Much of the point of the system is to reduce the pursuit of mining diamonds for the sole purpus of using it as currency when it could be used for better means, such as for tools and reinforcements, thus allowing more time to be spent persuing other and potentially more valuable goals that benefit the nation instead.
