Name:
The Lancian Empire, or more simply Lancia.
Flag:
The Imperial Flag of Lancia has existed since the Union of the original Lancian Territories. The Eagle is from the old Lancian Kingdom of Pruzken, which was the largest and responsible for organizing the territories to unite them, and was added to the new flag as the Wilhelm Dynasty, who ruled over Pruzken, became the ruling dynasty of the Lancian Empire. The cross in the top left, which is called the Iron Cross, is an important symbol in Lancia.
Form of Government:
Empire
Describe the System:
The Lancian Empire is headed by the Kaiser/Kaiserin, or Emperor/Empress when translated from Lancian, and the long version of the title is “Kaiser/Kaiserin of the Lancian Peoples”, depending on the gender of the current Kaiser/Kaiserin. He or she acts as the unifying symbol for the Entire Empire, and has a lot of political sway and power, and orders from his office are referred to as Imperial Orders. Beyond that a Parliament exists to help the Kaiser make laws and setup courts, but he may override them. Herrs/Dames, or Lords/Ladies when translated from Lancian rule over individual Statial territories and Imperial Territories, and colonies are ruled over by governors appointed by the Kaiser/Kaiserin. Both the title of Kaiser/Kaiserin and Herr/Dame are hereditary, but by law they can only be passed onto a Lancian Citizen. In the event of death of a Herr or a Dame without a heir or where the title would be passed to a non-Lancian Citizen, the title is redistributed to a new noble family. The title Kaiser/Kaiserin is to have all current Dames and Herrs vote on a new noble family to take the title, if the Kaiser/Kaiserin dies without a heir or the title would pass to a non-Lancian. All of these titles treat men and women equally, and the only matter for inheritance is age, with the oldest receiving it.
It also to be noted that in individual Statial and Imperial Territories that the acting Herr or Dame can create titles of Baron/Baroness to rule over small provinces or cities within individual territories with the Kaiser’s approval. Lesser noble families are chosen for these titles, but they usually do not hold as much power within these positions, as the only powers granted to the Baron/Baroness are chosen by the Herr/Dame, and with a unanimous vote of Parliament and approval of the Kaiser, the title can be revoked and destroyed.
Location on Map Desired:Preferably somewhere in the North of Edoniras, with plenty of coastline.
The Lance Empire divides territories it administers into four types Special Administrative Zones, Statial Territories, Imperial Territories, and Colonial Territories. Special Administrative Zones are reserved for lands which are unique and not governed under the normal system. Currently the only SAZ is the Capital and some of the surrounding land, as to prevent the Kaiser’s residence from being governed under by a Herr or Dame. Statial Territories are those lands which comprise the original Lancian Territories, and usually have a bit more investments into the local industry. Imperial Territories are not colonial territories, but are those territories that were conquered on Edoniras and are not majority ethnic Lancian. The people in these territories are actually allowed to practice their cultural practices without much interference from the government, but monetary incentive is there for those willing to adopt Lancian Names and practices. The final type is Colonial Territories, which are mostly there to provide resources to fuel the Lancian Industrial Machine. While natives are allowed to practice their culture, they are usually granted plots of land and other benefits such as education for adopting Lancian practices, but no direct monetary funding.
