History

The Militaristic Union of Largent was no more than a collection of warring tribes of countless species. Largent was a single planet in a tiny system right next to Sol. Soon humans settled the system and a threat was born. The humans and elves saw this threat while dwarves, orcs, and others didn't care about it.

The humans and elves formed an alliance and the Thousand-Year-War was ended in a battle that would soon become the bloodiest day in Largentian history. Soon an a man who would soon become Emperor Johnston I stepped forward and promised all the tribes peace, defense and economic stability. Thus, the Militaristic Union was formed.

People

Are a wide variety of people and species from all different backgrounds. Unlike many places these varieties of people and species do not get along. Many Largentian colonies and cities are divided up very specifically based soley on race. There are commonly homecides and occational riots.

The two major rivalries are between humans and extrasolars and between orcs and elves. It is these rivalries and racist situations that have turned Largent into a police state and have caused harsh laws to be enforced, which include a mandatory military service.

Church

The Largentian government strongly encourages religion. This is a long-standing tradition that has caused almost all of Largentians to be devout to one religion or another. Unlike in other places the Catholic name has not been tainted by scandals and there is little religious persecution, mainly thanks to an all powerful police force.

The government currnetly is mainly Christian and recrution is on the rise. Man elogant churches have been built and no expense was spared.

He is approaching his elder years and after his passing his eternally young wife shall resume his place. He is witty and good company and tends to be kind harted. This characteristic, however, will vanish immediatley once his country or its people are threatened. He has little tolorence for failure.

Capital

Winchia

Winchia is little more than an enormous and fortified city. All important buildings and instillations are in underground bunkers. It is in these bunkers that the Emperor and his Lady reside and are never seen by the public. They do have palaces located on other planets where their safety in ensured but they never leave Earth because of their abiltiy to rule the whole empire from a select few rooms.

Winchia does have some areas that are architectural wonders but those are above ground and are not considered part of the capital. This is the financial district and houses no government personel. However, it is still guarded by no less than 500,000 soldiers. Winchia was a city not built with comfort and elegance in mind. Rather it was built to be safe and to last, which it has.

Other Cities

Órthà

The only city in Largent to house citizens and have more military than Winchia. It is home to 1,000,000 soldiers, mainly elves, and is still an industrial power. It is totally underground and is Largent's manufacturing power. However, its main goal is to protect Winchia.

Marte Largenti

A largely civilian city, containing little if any military. It is located on Mars and it the first city Largent has ever constructed in an ocean.
