Many years ago Caedryn was a great, though autocratic, empire. However, the Imperator of the time and many of the records of the First Empire, as it is now called, disappeared, leaving the vast populace in disarray. Civil War broke out and anarchy was the rule of the day until Imperator Julius Vercingetorix united the warring factions and forged the reunified Empire which consists of the territories of the old Empire. His successors have reformed the Empire so it is now a democracy, making nearly any thoughts of secession or rebellion unthinkable. Now the Empire is one of the most powerful nations in The Hrydonian Orbit, and has the highest population in the region. After the collapse of Hrydonia into anarchy, Caedryn is now the indisputed most powerful nation in the region.
History
To be written
Politics
The Empire of Caedryn is a constitutional monarchy, similiar to the RL United Kingdom due to its lack of a constitution, and instead relying on traditions. Some have survived the First Interregnum or as it is also called, the First Intermediate Period, while others have come about after Imperator Iulius Vercingetorix reunited the Empire. The Imperator, or Emperor as he is commonly refered to in other polities, is the Head of State and occasionally also the Head of Government. The Head of Government is usually known as the Imperial Chancellor or Consul or President, depending on the whim of the Imperator, and currently known as the President, although the current President does not have much power.
- The legislature is referred to as the Senate, with the Council of Elders being the equivalent of the RL House of Lords and the Plebian Council being the equivalent of the RL House of Commons, with the Council of Elders being comprised of 800 noblemen and the Plebian Council being composed of some 600 people who are, by law, not members of a noble family.
(more on law system later) Foreign Relations
- The Caedrynian Empire has never been particularly active internationally, about the only communications having been a long-forgotten affair about terrorist training camps in the deserts and the odd embassy. The Empire's foreign relations are handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the Foreign Ministry.
Military
- The Imperial Caedryn Armed Forces are controlled by the Imperial Ministry of War. Since the reformation of the Empire the Imperial Army has been organized into standard division-sized units called legions, usually numbering around 15 or 16,000 men total. The Imperial Navy and Air Force form the rest of the Imperial Armed Forces
Legio DCLXVI, or The 666th Legion, is well-known for being the elite of the Imperial Army - or so they say. In reality, nobody has seen Caedrynian forces in action for quite some time, aside from the occasional asymmetric conflict that may or may not arise on the periphery.
