Line 35:
The power of the Emperor is enshrined within the Constitution of the Grand Imperium, an all-encompassing document providing rules on citizenship, civil duties, laws, trials, construction and levies. The Constitution prizes concision, simplicity and order, and leaves the Emperor with the power of final interpretation.
Additionally, the Grand Imperium is divided into Provinces. Each Province is governed by a Lord, who oversees the development of that region in the Emperor's name. The Grand Imperium currently has four Provinces:

=== Geography ===
The Grand Imperium occupied one of the last and largest expanses of unclaimed land on the map, a desolate island plateau of snowy highlands and forbidding sea-cliffs located in the eastern -,- quadrant. The Grand Imperium’s territory is divided into two peninsulae: the southern peninsula, pierced with an inland sea, is home to Capitum, whereas the northern peninsula is occupied by Altton.

The Grand Imperium is located between the powers of [[Bloom]], [[Coventhia]], and [[Tel Aviv]]. Although the Grand Imperium station is under construction, the Grand Imperium currently has provisional rail links with Bloom and [[Frostrock]]. Relations between the Grand Imperium and other nations are generally cordial, though the Grand Imperium so far has no formal alliances with any nations.

Line 56 ⟶ 83:
At the end of January, several new builds were completed, including the Factory, Post Office, Imperial Shrine, and Prestige Apartments in rapid succession. On February 1st, Emperor Attoprak announced the claiming of a small section of land to the west of the cities of [[Varkonia|Varkonia]] and [[Atlantis|Atlantis]] - due to the barren nature of the Grand Imperium homeland, farming land was urgently needed. On February 5th, construction started on the Ministry of Production, the first of the seven Ministry buildings.

During February, the Grand Imperium's land claims expanded to include a small area of land east of the original mesa, around the Medi Sea, which came to be known as Isi Province, the Grand Imperium's third Province. These lands, currently unclaimed, were originally the property of the defunct nation of Highrock. The new claim included the abandoned and lightly griefed town of [[Amsterdam|Amsterdam]], which the Grand Imperium restored, adding an Imperial Shrine, inn, embassy, library, post office, station and housing for workers. Original builds were kept as a museum, with some information about daily life in Highrock.
In March, established nations bestowed the Imperium with more land: on the 9th, the Republic of Bloom granted more land to the Grand Imperium to aid infrastructure development, and on the 29th Coventhia transferred ownership of a mushroom island exclave. In keeping with the Grand Imperium's mission of preserving history, existing buildings were preserved as monuments to peace and friendship in the -,-. These were integrated into the Grand Imperium as Tutela Province.<br />
=== Culture ===
Line 66 ⟶ 93:
Grand Imperium architecture is austere, elegant and distinctive. Its tall grey buildings make use of many columns, spires, domes and pointed pediments.
The preservation of lore and history is extremely important to the Grand Imperium, with events carefully recorded ingame and on its national [https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandImperium/ Subreddit], [https://grandimperium.fandom.com/wiki/GrandImperium_Wiki Wiki], Minehut server, and Discord channel. Players can also stay up to date with current events by using the Official Gazette on Discord, a frequently-updated account of Grand Imperium affairs for new or less-active players. The Grand Imperium also collects books and relics from other nations, and Grand Imperium citizens often do some writing of their own.
Grand Imperium citizens are patriotic, with Imperial Cult buildings adorned with the national flag and the statue of the Emperor commonplace in Imperium territories. Provincial settlements generally also have an Imperium House, which serves as an embassy and official residence for the Emperor on His visits. Stelae bearing the Emperor's quotations can also be found in every corner of the nation. Citizens also use the patriotic phrase ‘''Vivat Imperium!’'' when meeting or leaving another citizen.
