I love you, Chuck.

Once a grand republic, then a great empire, Istantium is now a corrupt, decaying nation, a shadow of its former self. The richest of the rich are wealthy beyond all imaginings, while the rest of the population is mired in a neverending struggle for the trappings of a decent life. What government remains is mired in bureaucracy - which can be easily bypassed for a few measly ilasters. Government services, roads and schools, once the pride of the nation, are available only to those who can afford to pay. Bribes are the national currency, and fear the national dish. As resources grow more scarce in the rural hinterlands, the population of the cities expands with poor rural refugees creating a potentially explosive situation.
The Holy Empire of Istantium is not a member state of the United Nations, due to its unwillingness to conform to UN resolutions.
