Aciria is composed of | '''Aciria''', officially the '''Grand Empire of Aciria''', is an Absolute Monarchy on [[Sarpedon]]. Aciria is composed of 7 Administrative regions, 3 Special administrative regions, and multiple Imperial Dominions. Boasting a population of 76,883,723, a steady population growth is guaranteed by the controversial law that mandates every able-bodied woman to give birth to at least two children. The capital, the largest city and the home of the Imperial Court is Trosseurs, named after the Three Sisters cult of antiquity. | ||
The history of Aciria is a series of tragic disorders with the local populations desperately clinging to any type of power that guarantees them stability in the region. Starting in the Age of the Schism, the heartlands of modern day Aciria were plagued by local conflicts over faith and warring warlords, finally culminating in the declaration of independence in 1615, followed by nearly 200 years of political instability, and near constant state of civil war between different factions vying for power. This era finally ended in 1783 when the Marshal of Aciria Jean Dupois murdered the ruling king and throned himself the Grand Emperor, ushering in an era of unprecedented peace in the region. The descendants of Dupois have ruled Aciria with an iron fist since then, a price the population is willing to pay due to fears of the region falling into instability once again otherwise. | The history of Aciria is a series of tragic disorders with the local populations desperately clinging to any type of power that guarantees them stability in the region.

===Government=== | ===Government=== | ||
The revamped constitution of 1784 grants the Emperor of Aciria the final say over all matters both foreign and domestic, alongside with the power to overrule any decisions made by the Grand Assembly. The Grand Assembly, on paper, is open to all citizens of Aciria. In reality, the Imperial Senate is practically inaccessible to someone with no nobility, military or aristocratic ties, as the Imperial Senate consists of nobility, high ranking military officers, and aristocrats. The Imperial Senate is responsible for the drafting of new laws and debating the budget on the first month of each year. | |||
The People's Senate is more accessible, but still practically inaccessible to a vast number of the population: it consists of lower nobles, lower ranking military officers and upper middle class to upper class citizens. The People's Senate's duty is to inspect the laws drafted and budgets proposed by the Imperial Senate before it is presented to the Emperor, but the People's Senate has little to no say in the matters, effectively being just another bureaucratic body. Both the Imperial- and the People's Senate has their representatives changed once a decade with an election. | |||
===Administrative divisions=== | ===Administrative divisions=== | ||
The seven administrative regions are Valarién, Aciries Marines, Sainte-Beatrice, Gamme Orientale, Portée Nord, Dutelle and Pâtnoir. The administrative regions are all ruled by an Imperial Governor, who rules til death. The Imperial Governor is appointed by the Emperor himself, appointing only those he trusts the most to these roles, such as close family. The three special administrative regions are Trosseurs, Chantier and Teravien. Trosseurs is directly ruled by the Emperor, as it is where the seat of the Empire and the Imperial Palace is located, but both Chantier and Teravien are ruled by a military junta loyal to the Emperor. Both of the regions earned this after repeated revolts in the regions, and despite for nearly half a century since the last noteworthy instability, the military maintains a strong grip on the region. The Imperial Dominions are bits of land of Aciria which are directly owned by the Emperor, not by the state. Such a dominion is Montvert, which is home to the Imperial Retreat. Despite this, all citizens of Aciria are allowed on Montvert and other Imperial Dominions due to the incredible beauty and historical significance these places may have for the people. | |||
== | ==Military== | ||
===Grand Army of the Empire=== | |||
Officially formed in 1785 after two years Dupois took the throne, the army has then maintained both a constant presence in domestic affairs since its formation. After the failed Conscription Act of 1795, the army maintained its professional army until 1895 when Dupois' grandson Julien Dupois took the throne, and made a year long conscription mandatory for every able-bodied man. Ever since the act the definition of "able-bodied" has been hotly debated in the Imperial Senate, which has caused ages of either a more relaxed conscription, or a more strict conscription. Originally controversial, over time the conscription has become a rite of passage for young men in Aciria; and a chance for even the most disenfranchised of society to rise up to a higher social class via a military rank. | |||
===Police Administrative Impériale=== | |||
Formed in 1795, the Police Administrative Impériale (PAI) has also had a constant presence in both domestic and foreign matters. PAI has been both praised for securing stability in the nation and rooting out corruption that plagued the nation before the Dupois took over and criticized for infringing on the personal liberties and privacy of innocent civilians, and even accused of making people "go away". Until the 1950s, the PAI had a zero tolerance policy for speaking out against the state or the Emperor, but after reforms in 1957 and 1959, criticism of the government was allowed, and PAI's reputation has been slowly on the rise ever since, even if still somewhat controversial. | |||
===Imperial Guard=== | ===Imperial Guard=== | ||
The Garde Impériale are the elite soldiers of Aciria, who are tasked with defending the Emperor and his possessions. The exact number of Imperial Guard is classified, with most of their numbers suspected to work in the military until a crisis calls for the assembly of the Imperial Guard. They are famously picked from the most promising of conscripts and trained relentlessly, sometimes even causing the deaths of new recruits who simply can't keep up with the rigorous training routine they have to go through. Typically they are seen outside of the Imperial Palace in Trosseurs, on Montvert or accompanying the Emperor's vehicles during his visits to other areas of his realm. | |||
