Below the Emperor and Chancellor is the Imperial Senate, having the duel-role role as an Advisory Council and the legislative Body, enacting laws throughout the Republic, however, they despite this, the Emperor or Chancellor may overall a decree by will. Below them are the State Governors, who oversee the states making up the nation. [u]History:[/u] After the Great Collapse and Dark Decade, there came an Age of Warlords for North America, as the Earth Government fell into total disarray, and for next twenty years, Chaos ruled, millions living in constant fear as countless wars waged between the Warlords, bandits and raiders roamed the lands, pillaging and razing all in their path, it was years of hell. However, hope arose as the long hidden remnants of the former Directorate Military had emerged from the shadows, and were on the warpath. The Directorate remnants were led by General Arnold Regius, a man who will be known as the Founding Farther of the Imperial Republic, although not directly. For the next ten years, General Regius' forces blitzed through of what remained of the South-Eastern regions of North America, grabbing up as much land as they could till they reached the beaches, and further up till they could go no more. The final Campaign ended at Coasts of Virginia, where the General had finally established himself in North America as a Regional Power, and by 2200, he established the New American Republic. For three decades, the fledgling Republic struggled greatly, facing the constant threat of raiders, rival warlords and some minor political infighting. A new Political Party within the Republic, simply referred as the Imperials were a cause of great concern for the ruling powers. They were a rather radical group, who's vision for the New American Republic was quite unspeakable to some. They sought to follow a more centralized system similar to the Old Holy Roman Empire, the ultimate fusion of Empire and Republic. This had caused an uproar within the Government as the Imperials soon gained support by the masses, seeing their model as just for a world in ruin. By 2245, Civil War erupted as the Imperial Faction, led by Maxwell Regius, son of the famed General, had initiated a mass uprising all across the Republic. By 2252, the Imperials emerged the victors, finally realizing their dream, the Imperial Republic of America was established after they had cemented themselves, and for a the coming years, all was good. The Imperial Republic, despite being in a weakened state after the civil war, had shown fierce strength when needed in the face of the barbaric hordes. However, as the years go by, the Imperial Republic slowly, but surely morphed into something ugly, the optimism that drove the Imperials by the wars end was fading, the government grew more and more paranoid of threats both external and internal, and became more dyspotic. The Current Emperor, Tiberius Regius II, a man making use of his family's history has not remedied the situation, for twenty years he has held the seat, and it seems he won't be going anywhere. As such, he is now on the warpath, for over a century the the Imperial Republic and its predecessor before had been too complacent with the state of the world, Tiberius wouldn't stand for it. A Radical change of Policy was required. He now seeks to unite all of North America, maybe the world, under his banner. By 2307, the Imperial Republic invaded their much smaller neighbor, the New Memphis Union, a rather young nation, a small collection of city-states that formed the Union in 2294. The war between the Imperial Republic and New Memphis lasted three years before large sections of the Union fell under Imperial Occupation. Despite the high losses, the NMU continued the the fight both out and within. What territory they hold has been fortified to keep the Imperials at bay to fight a War of Attrition, while within, a resistance movement had formed a year after the Occupation begun. It is the year 2325, the Imperial Republic continues on the occupation of New Memphis, and fighting the war against the remnants in the Emperor's mad quest to unite the continent, perhaps the Earth under one Empire. [/center] [u]Military:[/u] [hider=Homeland Security Force] The Homeland Security force is responsible for both the defense and policing of the Imperial Republic's territories and holdings. They are tasked with defending and keeping the civilian population under control from threats both internal and external, often by most thuggish members with heavy surveillance and cruelty. Whilst they're less heavily armed then their Army counterparts, the men and women of the HSF are more then capable to respond to any incident with vigilance and are not a force to be taken very lightly.
