"Grand Imperium" redirects here. For the CivClassic nation, see Grand Imperium (CivClassic 2.0).

The Grand Imperium is a nation located in the the +,- quadrant; between Blockchainistan in the north, Yoahtl in the south, and Titan Industries in the east. The Grand Imperium is a land of fertile plains and scattered forests, with steep cliffs to the east. The current and only leader of the nation is Emperor Attoprak and its capital is Capitum. Grand Imperium can often be shortened to GI in non-formal conversations.

History

This title includes Grand Imperium history on the CivMC server. For Grand Imperium history before CivMC see Grand Imperium (CivClassic 2.0).

Early Days

The Grand Imperium on CivMC was formally established on June 20th, 2022. An initial settlement of a few scattered huts and houses was founded as a temporary base of operations, to be subsumed by the construction of the greater city of Capitum and preserved as a museum to the Imperium's very earliest days.

On July 23th 2022, the Grand Imperium joined its neighbours in the Lyrean Community.

Culture

The flag of the Grand Imperium is a white and cyan bicolor representing the two classes of our Empire: its citizens and Emperor.

Grand Imperium architecture is austere, elegant and distinctive. Its tall grey buildings make use of many columns, spires, domes and pointed pediments. Since moving to a more temperate biome in CivMC, the architecture of the Imperium has incorporated oak wood as roofing and

The preservation of lore and history is extremely important to the Grand Imperium, with events carefully recorded ingame and on its national Subreddit, Wiki and Discord server. The Grand Imperium also collects books and relics from other nations. The Grand Imperium encourages its citizens to spread the Imperium's culture and politics through prolific writing and other artistic pursuits.

Grand Imperium citizens are patriotic, with Imperial Cult buildings adorned with the national flag and the statue of the Emperor commonplace in Imperium territories. State capitals also have an embassy, which serves as 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.

Government

The Grand Imperium is an constitutional monarchy, led by Emperor Attoprak since the nation’s inception in November 2019. The Emperor is the supreme authority of the Grand Imperium: the ultimate policy-maker, ultimate judge, ultimate military leader, and general figurehead of the nation.

The government of the Grand Imperium serves as advisors and agents of the Emperor with little policy-making authority of their own. The Grand Imperium government is led by the Central Government (comprised of the Emperor and the Chamberlain, the Emperor’s personal assistant). The current Chamberlain of the Grand Imperium is WorldSculptor.

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.

Regional Management

The Grand Imperium is divided into states. Each state is governed by a Lord, who oversees the development of that region in the Emperor's name. There is a council which includes the Lords, known as the States Council of the Grand Imperium. The Grand Imperium currently has no states.

Capitum

Capitum is the main province of the Grand Imperium. It is not a state but a capital region. Capitum has no Lords or Consuls assigned and it is directly governed by the Central Government. Capitum is home of the capital of the Empire and therefore home of the Grand Imperium government.

Foreign Relations

Relations between the Grand Imperium and other nations is generally cordial. Emperor Attoprak is solely responsible for the Imperium's international relations and has engaged in diplomacy with neighbouring states since the very earliest days of the server.

In July of 2022, the Grand Imperium joined the Lyrean Community, becoming the first non-founding member to sign the Charter.

In August of 2022, the Grand Imperium moved to amicably settle a mild border disagreement with Titan Industries. The exact terms of the agreement are still under discussion.

Glass Pane Incident

In July 2022, the Grand Imperium discovered a line of reinforced glass panes secretly constructed over the territory of the Imperium and of Titan Industries. This was likely used by an unknown third party to evade border protections in order to illegally and covertly place snitches within Titan Industries' land. The incursion was reported to Titan Industries.

Geography

Climate

Unlike the harsh cold climate of its CivClassic domains, the CivMC iteration of the Grand Imperium resides in a mild temperate region of meadows, plains and scattered forests. The Imperium borders the Lyrean Sea to the west, and to the east abuts the mountainous terrain of Titan Industries.

Economy

The Grand Imperium has a highly-active and highly-organised population. Citizens of the Imperium are currently engaged in the construction of various farms for domestic production and regional trade, with areas of territory already earmarked for industry.
