In the upcoming election, the Green Party and People’s Party both have highly supported runners. [color=#00e600][b]Type of Government:[/b][/color] Parliamentary Empire, the Emperor or Empress is an elected official and acts more like a Prime Minister than a total monarch. Elections are held every ten years in which all ten of the Parties in the Empire support their own candidate for the position.

There had once been reports from those who were unlucky enough not to get into the Bunkers or had been willing to stay rather than live the rest of their life in an underground safe haven. Many in the Scandinavian region believed that they would eventually run out of food if everybody were in Bunkers so the governments of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway made the decision that only a quarter of their populations would go into bunkers and another quarter would stay in military bases set up in Norway’s many mountains. The plan to keep most of the population above ground was foolish and basic at best, horrendous and inhumane at worst. Those who were sealed in the bunkers were the last hope for those in the Scandinavian region to reclaim the surface. Despite the initial radio silence between the surface and underground, the many bunkers centered around the strait between the Baltic and North Sea stayed in contact. Through the relay of what information they had, the ten bunkers in the Baltic-North strait managed to survive by the creation of hydroponic plant systems and water purifiers which collected water from the nearby underground reservoir. Technological advances were mostly halted but the bunkers lost very little of their tech. The requirements for making them were lost though. Oddly enough, the children who grew up in the bunkers were taught less about the history of the War and more about the history of Scandinavia leading to generations of men and women who would believe that the above land was where their future was leading towards the recreation of the Great Empire. Life inside the bunkers were different for each bunker. Some focused on the production of food and clean water more than the others while some were more focused on research into what tech they could create. Eventually, each of the ten vaults would become home to their own political party in the Empire. Once 2260 reached, it was determined by the bunker which would hold the Green Party that it was safe to leave their bunkers. With the surface now open to the bunkers, the citizens inside quickly spread out. Quite a few who wanted to go out on their own died and those who stayed by their bunkers quickly organized and started to build their settlements. Within ten years, the Empire was formed and united under the first elected Party member, Martha Wallace of the Communist Party. Under her rule, production of military based weapons have flourished as she looks to reclaim much of Scandinavia in the months before she must give up her position to a new Emperor. It is unknown if the Empire has any intentions on changing their current course as even the Green Party plants to reclaim more of the beaches of Scandinavia for research into the create of hydraulic based power plants.

With the Communist Party in charge, it is a religion called Atomism. Worshipers believe that Mutants, though somewhat aberrations of nature, are the way into the future. They worship a God whose power can destroy entire nations and yet create many beings at the same time. -Current Religious Statistics -Atomist: 55% -Christian: 15% -Islamic: 10% -Jewish: 10% -Atheist: 5% -Other: 5% [color=#00e600][b]Other:[/b][/color] Despite being rather advanced, the Empire has fallen behind on medical advances which are required to treat certain diseases. Their medical aid is set back to medicine just a decade after the creation of penicillin.
