The Holy Truidencian Empire (Norwegian: Hellige Trydensiske 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.

The nation enjoyed for the duration of its founding a position of regional stability with many of it's neighboring countries being fellow members of the Forum of the Medi Sea.

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 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.

History of The Empire

Troubled Beginnings

As a member of the UDF on Civclassic, despite having left the alliance during eotw, the empire was expected by many outsiders to continue its relationships with previous members. However this was not to be. An influx of new citizens as well as the return of previously inactive citizens made it so the government in the end confidently ended all hopes for renewed agreements in favour of going into SOTW on their own.

While this was going on Zeldronix made agreements with, and joined what would become the Medi Sea Forum, wanting to settle alongside nations who shared his values and who would compliment the new direction Zeldronix wanted the nation to be headed.

Has Reigned since The 27th of February, 2022

National Policy

The internal practices of the Empire.

Flag Laws

National Flags

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.

The National Flags
The State Flag / "Statsflagget" which serves as the symbol of the government
The Civil Flag / "Sivilflagget" of Truidencia.
Template for Colonial Flags. May be used as merchant flags on sea/air vessels.
The flag for truidencian military installations
Unofficial flag of the monarchy

Illegal Flags

Officially there are no constitutional laws dictating whether or not certain flags are allowed to be flown or owned, besides the national flags.

Republican Flags

Despite lack of constitutional laws, it has been the policy of Emperor Zeldronix to discourage the usage of so called "Republican flags" commonly associated with the once proposed "Bezlandic Commonwealth", and the name "Republican Truidence" which was a joke on the name Imperial Truidence, along with various variations of "Bezland". These flags generally consisted of a horisontal tricolour with the colours red, yellow and white, starting from the top, sometimes with a blue cross saltire.

Imperial Truidence

The flag of the First, Second and Third Empire are forbidden by imperial decree, seen by the emperor as a symbol of reactionary elements of the nation and disaproval of his ascension to the throne.

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.

Miscellaneous Information

There is no official way of pronouncing "Truidencia". For example the first "I" is often left unpronounced and the ending "cia" has been known to be pronounced in various ways.
To some degree there is also no official spelling of Truidencia either.
The Emperor/Empress and their successors has traditionally been required to be Norwegian.

Religion

Bezism

Bezism is the official and state religion of Truidencia, no other religion is allowed. Ever after Emperor Bez committed sudoku and ascended from this mortal coil, the religion has been entrenched in truidencian society, including politics. The current pontifex of Bezism is GenericLaqey.
