House Corrino was driven from the lush planet of Salusa Secundus long before an atomic attack carried out by a rival House. This House was subsequently exterminated and no record of its name exists by the time of the overthrow of the Corrinos. The Corrinos relocated the Imperial capital to Kaitain and Salusa was left as a barren wasteland. It was publically believed that Salusa was the emperor's prison planet. However, it eventually emerged that House Corrino also made use of the planet as a training ground for the Sardaukar troops.

As tensions increased with The [[Tetris L-Shaped Block]] the Imperial Race decied that they must remove the regime of the Block and all members of the August 18th Coup in Pink Floyd. The Imperial Race entered for the First time on August 20th. The Imperial Race was ejected before the war could begin and was forced to adopt a policy of Infiltration and observation. after a second attempt to overthrow the regime the Imperial race knew that as long as Tetris L-shaped block held the Delegate position they could not be toppled. so they Began peace talks.

During this ritual citizens are expected to ridicule and shout at a video of the hated "bleating" Goldstein expounding his alternative philosophy (indeed, the image ultimately morphed into a bleating sheep).
  
−
== The Spice Melange ==
+
The three slogans of the Party, on display everywhere, are:
  
−
there is only one source of natural melange, the planet Arrakis (colloquially known as Dune). Melange is a geriatric drug that gives the user a longer lifespan, greater vitality, and heightened awareness; it can also unlock prescience in some subjects, depending upon the dosage and the consumer's physiology.
+
WAR IS PEACE
 +
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
 +
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
  
−
Melange, otherwise known as the spice, is the product of sandworms. Collecting it is hazardous in the extreme, since any activity on the desert surface of Arrakis attracts the worms, which are extremely large and dangerous. Thus, the mining operation essentially consists of vacuuming it off the surface with a harvesting machine until a worm comes, at which time a carry-all lifts the mining vehicle to safety. The Fremen, who have learned to co-exist with the sandworms in the desert, harvest the spice manually for their own use and for smuggling off-planet.
+
Each of these is of course either contradictory or the opposite of what we normally believe, and the world is in a state of constant war, no one is free, and everyone is ignorant. The slogans are analyzed in Goldstein's book. Through their constant repetition, the terms become meaningless, and the slogans become axiomatic. This type of misuse of language, and the deliberate self-deception with which the citizens are encouraged to accept it, is called doublethink.
  
−
Spice is in general use all over the universe, and is a sign of wealth. To ingest it is the ultimate display of conspicuous consumption. The planet Arrakis is central to the inhabited worlds of the galaxy because it is the sole source of spice.
+
One essential consequence of doublethink is that the Party can rewrite history with impunity, for "The Party is never wrong." The ultimate aim of the Party is to gain and retain full power over all the people of The World.
−
 
+
−
Later, an artificial method of producing the spice is discovered by the Bene Tleilaxu, who develop in secret the technology to produce melange from axlotl tanks later in the series. It was not fully successful in pushing natural melange out of the market place.
+
−
 
+
−
Although it is called "spice" and can be mixed with food, melange is truly a drug: it is physically addictive, it has psychotropic effects, and stopping its consumption causes death after a painful period of withdrawal (although taking spice daily extends one's life by hundreds of years). Due to its rarity and value, the group controlling spice production on Dune controls the fate of the Empire.

== Imperial Sardaukar ==
+
−
 
+
−
Sardaukar are trained from infancy on the planet Salusa Secundus, House Corrino's original (and environmentally barren) homeworld as well as the formal Capital world of the Empire prior to the Butlerian Jihad. Known to the rest of the Empire as the Emperor's Prison Planet, Salusa Secondus is home to the vicious training grounds of the Sardaukar, who fight voraciously in a mock-up of natural selection - ensuring that only the best enter formal Imperial service. Like the Fremen on the planet Dune, the intense difficulties of simply surviving the barren terrain and fellow populace on Salusa Secondus leave only the toughest alive. Further, their training emphasized ruthlessness and near-suicidal disregard for personal safety. In conjunction with intense conditioning for loyalty to the Emperor, the Sardaukar are estimated as worth ten times their number in Landsraad house levies. The Sardaukar are normally organized under legions of roughly 30,000 soldiers each, and it is said that one legion alone can pacify any planet foolish enough to incur the Emperor's wrath

== The Noble Houses of the Landraad ==
+
−
 
+
−
'''House Corrino''' House Corrino's ancestral planet was Salusa Secundus, the seat of imperial power since the Butlerian Jihad. Due to an unfortunate atomic explosion, House Corrino and the Golden Lion Throne moved to Kaitain. The offending house is unknown, erased from history. The harsh conditions of their homeworld encouraged the survival of the strong, and allowed the Corrinos to develop the universe's most-feared military units, the warrior-fanatic Sardaukar, the means by which House Corrino controlled the Empire.
+
−
 
+
−
'''House Harkonnen''' One of the great houses of the Imperium, the House Harkonnen is built on a simple foundation of fear and terror, two tactics that make the Baron Harkonnen's underlings that much more dangerous: risk death on the battlefield or suffer a slow, excruciating death in the Baron's chambers as he watches with relish. With an order based on treachery, soldiers rise through the ranks through deceit, trickery and, if necessary, assassination. Hailing from an industrial wasteland of a planet called Giedi Prime, the House Harkonnen is much like its Baron: cold, ruthless, egomaniacal, but brilliant and lethally efficient. Most of all, it's driven by a kanly (vendetta) against House Atreides. The vendetta originated when Vorian Atreides exposed the unwarranted shame of Abulurd Harkonnen at the Battle of Corrin when Abulurd Harkonnen refused an order issued by Vorian Atreides to kill millions of humans enslaved by machines. The Battle of Corrin is the battle that ended the Butlerian Jihad and founded the Imperium.
+
−
 
+
−
'''House Atreides''' This noble house hailing from the water planet of Caladan employs unlikely methods in its struggle to secure the spice of Arrakis: noble spirit, just ways and unfailing virtue. Ruling its homeworld Caladan for generations with justice and generosity, House Atreides has perfected a form of government that results in a well-organized society and a spiritually satisfied people. Little wonder that Caladan is the lush, prosperous paradise that it is. However, the House was also proficient in war; it had even developed an Atreides battle language
+
−
 
+
−
'''House Ordos''' House Ordos is a member of the Landsraad, the great council of the Imperium, and is one of the more powerful members of it. The House is from the ice planet Sigma Draconis, and is considered to be a mercantile house.
+
−
 
+
−
'''House Richese''' House Richese was a wealthy house before taking over the fiefdom of Arrakis, but the vast expenses required for the spice manufacturing contract, as well as an economic war with the more advanced House Vernius, bankrupted House Richese
+
−
 
+
−
'''House Vernius''' is one of the great houses of the Imperium, the feudal interstellar empire that forms the backdrop to the Dune novels. This house is the ruling power on the planet Ix. The main industry on Ix is machines that continuously test the bounds of the precepts set down by the Butlerian Jihad. The rival of House Vernius is House Richese, which also specializes in machinery, but doesn't create controversial machinery. The strongest ally of House Vernius is House Atreides.

The Imperial Race

The Nation of teh Imperial Race has been in turmoil recently. after so many civil wars the military finally seized power. They have formed the Imperialist-Nationalist Party and they are incontrol of all of North and South America, southern Africa, Australiia, New Zealand, New Guinea all of the polar regions and the paciffic Islands. It is at a near constant war with Tetris L-Shaped Block and so many people have begun an intestese hatred of the Block.

Founding of the Imperial Race

After the Geo-terrorist wars of 2015 The Former United States of America was drained and unable to protect her assetes and so they where forced to withdrawl all of their forces to protect the homeland. It Was a veteran of the Wars named George Blackfield that seized power in the Coup of 2020. He was declared the Dictator of all the states and renamed his nation. Oceania of the Imperial Race. He had a policy in order to defeat terrorists we must control a where they operate. So he whent on a massive campaign of Expansion he conqured Canada, South America, the Pacific islands, Australlia, New Zeland, New Guinea and the United Kingdom.


Internal Strusture

General Blackfield had read the bood "1984" and began to turn his state into one like that of Oceania. He had already conqured the areas and so the Imperialist-Nationalist Party began to beknown as just the party. Signs Quoteing big brother appeared and the minisrtiers that where used in the book became reality. And General George Blackfield became known as Big Brother. The main difference between Oceania and The Empire is that it is an Ultra Capitalistic State. THe Party is only open to the Military and the Rich. Every one Else is forced to work for little pay and That the Ministry of Plenty doesn't exist.

Ministries

Ministry of Peace- Concerns itself with conducting and perpetuating The Imperial Race's peace through continuous wars.

Ministry of Truth- The propaganda arm of General Blackfield's regime. It controls political literature, the Party organisation, and the telescreens.

Ministry of Love- The agency responsible for the identification, monitoring, arrest, and torture of dissidents, real or imagined. Responsible for making every Party member love the Party.

The Party

The mysterious head of government is the omniscient, omnipotent, beloved Big Brother, or "B.B.", usually displayed on posters with the slogan "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU". Big Brother acts as a focus for the love of the Party which the Thought Police and others are there to engender. It is perfectly possible that the conflict between Big Brother and Goldstein is in fact a conflict either between two fictitious or two dead leaders, whose true purpose is to personify both the Party and its opponents.

His political opponent is the hated Emmanuel Goldstein, a Party member who had been in league with Big Brother and the Party during the revolution. Goldstein is said to be a major part of the Brotherhood, a vast underground anti-Party fellowship. The reader never truly finds out whether the Brotherhood exists or not, but the implication is that Goldstein is either entirely fictitious or was eliminated long ago. Party members are expected to vilify Goldstein and the Brotherhood via the daily "two minute hate." During this ritual citizens are expected to ridicule and shout at a video of the hated "bleating" Goldstein expounding his alternative philosophy (indeed, the image ultimately morphed into a bleating sheep).

The three slogans of the Party, on display everywhere, are:

WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Each of these is of course either contradictory or the opposite of what we normally believe, and the world is in a state of constant war, no one is free, and everyone is ignorant. The slogans are analyzed in Goldstein's book. Through their constant repetition, the terms become meaningless, and the slogans become axiomatic. This type of misuse of language, and the deliberate self-deception with which the citizens are encouraged to accept it, is called doublethink.

One essential consequence of doublethink is that the Party can rewrite history with impunity, for "The Party is never wrong." The ultimate aim of the Party is to gain and retain full power over all the people of The World.
