The Continental Empire of Malatose is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 7.193 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology. Natural Resources include: coal, copper, lead, molybdenum, phosphates, uranium, bauxite, gold, iron, mercury, nickel, potash, silver, tungsten, zinc, petroleum, natural gas, and timber.
Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal then most battlefields, the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, and the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malatose's national animal is the Hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Credit.

History
The Nation of Malatose was founded in the year 2003, during The Great Age of Formation. During these years, the nation developed both politically and economically. However, this would all come to an end. Five months later, the nation was thrown into a massive civil war. This war, mostly started by the Socialist, raged for months, until finally the Socialist won. In the wake of the Socialist victory, hundreds lay dead and thousands injured. Hundreds were also exiled and the ones that weren't were quickly executed.
The years following; however, were prosperous for Malatose. The economy continued to rise, the military grew both in numbers and in technology. But this would all come to an end with the Socialist Government tightening it's grip on the people. Hundreds of corporations were nationalized and civilians were under constant fear of being arrested by the secret police. This would continue for years, until one man decided to take a stand.
Galius Falucia, a former political officer with Imperialistic views, was exiled during the rise of the Socialist Government. During this time, he continued to plot and plan for the freedom of his people. To do this, he began to organize various organizations, the largest one being called "The Order for a free Malatose". This group mostly consisted of former Military Officers and Soldiers who had defected.
With the support of the Military and Citizens worldwide, The Socialist Government was finally overthrown in a violent two in a half year civil year. In its place, The Continental Empire of Malatose was formed, with Galius Falucia proclaiming himself Emperor. This would be an Empire that would rule for generations, giving hundreds safety and a secure society.
Geography
The Continental Empire of Malatose has an extremely varied geography. The land is covered in mountains, grasslands, forests and a few deserts. The Continental Empire of Malatose is divided into 8 sectors. Each sector being ruled by the local Moff Governor and having two seats in the Imperial Senate. Here, the four most important sectors in Malatose will be described.
Lusankya

Lusankya, also called the Sector that never sleeps, is the Capital of Malatose and the seat of Imperial Power. Lusankya was founded in the early years of Malatose's life. In the beginning, one could call the architecture modest at best, with only a few skyscrapers, and small buildings serving as Government Headquarters. However, this would all change, with the founding of the Imperial Government. It was during this time, that "Plan Future", the proposed plan to push Malatosian into the future was established. It was in that plan, that a huge improvement to Malatose's infrastucture was planned. During the following years, Lusankya's infrastructure increased one hundred perfect, giving the capital the look of a one massive city.
Most of the buildings are composed of monolithic architecture, only dwarfed by buildings of the Imperial Ministries and Imperial Palace. Cars travel on huge spiraling highways. However, the city aspect isn't the only attractive part of the capital. The city has a number of natural landscapes, such as the Mejori Twin Mountain peaks and Tranquil Twin Water Falls. Because of the design of the city, the city serves as a major tourist spot. The many tourist locations include: The Imperial Musuem, Threatre of Arts, University of Lusankya, and the Skydome Botanical Gardens.
Rialtor
</div>Rialtor, the second largest city in Malatose, is the oldest city in the Empire. Build around a Classical European/21st Century Style, the city is one of the most unique. The area was first settled during the early 1880s, when a group of Malatosian Citizens migrated to the area. The years following saw a huge surge of Malatosian citizens migrate to the area. Most were trying to settle on the vast amounts of land, while others were trying to escape the overcrowding in other areas, such as Lusankya. During the late 1990s, the area was a haven for those fighting against the Communist Government. Because of this, the Soviets were brutal in their suppression of the local population, resulting in the deaths of hundreds if not thousands. Aside from that, The current leader of Malatose, Galius Falucia was born in Rialtor. Because of that, it is sometimes called the heart of Malatose, causing a massive surge of tourism. In honor of the thousands that died from the communist regime, a large monolithic structure, otherwise known as the Imperial Tower of Victory was constructed. Inside are the names of those who died for the Empire.
Rigar
</div>Wild grasslands and old mountain ranges dominated the surface of the 3rd largest sector in Malatose. Rigar is home to more than eight species of plants and an even larger amount of wildflowers. Its flora also include a massive variety of spices, herbs, and grains. Rigar also containts thousands of lakes and connecting waterways. Rigar serves as a major tourist spot for both citizens and Government officials.
Government and Politcs
The Empire is ruled with absolute power by Emperor Galius Falucia, with Sate Thomas as Grand Vizier and Williane Dawn as Supreme Commander of the Imperial Armed Forces and Military Executor. The People's Senate still exist years after the Empire's establishment as the Imperial Senate, but it has little power. The real power below the Emperor is in the hands of the Moffs and the regional governors who were eventually granted direct control of their regions. The Empire is actually more decentralized than the old Communist Government. Provinces are grouped in Sectors and Sectors in turn into Oversectors. These were controlled by the Moffs and Grand Moffs, who exercised power.
This was in contrast to the structure of the Communist Government, which place senators in control of their respective sectors. This exercise of power is backed up by the use of state terrorism in the form of the Imperial Protection Doctrine. The Doctrine threatens force rather than the use of force to control dissent. The instrument of enforcing the Doctrine is the Imperial military, which includes millions of troops all of which which are intended in part to spread fear as well as destroy the enemy.
Constitution of the Imperial Government
The Imperial Charter or Constitutions of the New Order is the highest set of laws in the Continental Empire of Malatose. The old Constitution of the Old Government presumably is the basis for the Imperial Charter, with several major changes including the nature of the executive branch, military and law enforcement, and Rights of citizenship as well as the laws passed by Galius Falucia.
The most important amendment of the constitution is the Emergency Powers Act. It eliminates term limits for the Emperor, giving each Emperor the option of when to stand down for new elections. It also gives Falucia all necessary authority to attempt to end possisble uprisings, including declaration of martial law in provinces.
The Imperial Charter states that citizens of the Continental Empire of Malatose are considered full citizens, except foreign residents. Full citizens are accorded rights under Imperial Law, namely, the right to follow the precepts of the New Order fully and without question.
The Charter also states that senators could not question an edict of the Emperor. It also includes segments detailing the relationships (including political, military, colonial, transportation, and economic) between the Imperial government and the provinces it ruled.
Another important amendment of the Imperial Charter is Decree 77-92465-001. Decree 77-92465-001 states: "All military offensives shall be considered under law as states of emergency, and subject to the Emergency Military Powers Act of the State."
The Capital Powers Act, another amendment, is an Imperial law that authorized the use of lethal forces against mutineers and enemies of the state. The law's preface states: "Without necessary capital powers it is considered impossible to maintain the stability of the New Order and the security of the greatest number of citizens in the country."
Head of State
The Emeperor of the New Order is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Imperial Armed Forces, and has absolute authority over its military and bureaucracy. The Emperor has sole power over appointing and dismissing Moffs. The Emperor also proposed the budget, called the Imperial Senate into session, and dismissed it from meeting. He can both introduce and veto Senate legislation.
Head of Government
The effective Head of Government, in the Continental Empire of Malatose, is the Grand Vizier. The President is the office in the Empire responsible for maintaining the day-to-day operations of the Empire and the Bureaucracy. It is the highest rank besides Emperor, Executor and Moff. The President overseas the myriad departments, bureaus and offices, and serves as the Emperor's chief lieutenant and personal deputy. He also acts as an intermediary for the Emperor. If the Emeperor were to die, it would be the Grand Vizier who takes control of the Empire, until the Imperial Senate chose a new Emperor.
Legislative branch
All Legislative matters in the Continental Empire of Malatose are handled by the Imperial Senate. The Imperial Senate was established just days after the Empire was founded. Besides the name, its organization had the same organization as its orebear, the Council of People's Deputies. The Imperial Senate holds only legislative power (and even with much of that held by the Senate now in the hands of the Emperor and Moff Governors). The Senate can advise the Emperor on issues and work on the Imperial budget. However, the Emperor could both introduce and veto Senate legislation, and both called and dismissed the Senate to meeting.
The day-to-day head of the Senate was no longer the Vice Chair, but the Grand Vizier.
The Senate was, at least in theory, responsible for choosing a new Emperor upon the death or abdication of the current holder of the throne.
Local Sector/Provincial Government
</div>The task of managing local government was left to Governors also known as Moffs. The title of Moff Governor was established during the founding of the Empire. Each Moff is armed a broad mandate to monitor province government, and a force of soldiers that might be sufficient to secure their residence, maintain control in the surrounding streets, and provide protection to a few administrative personnel on detached duty. Moffs are also expected to maintain order, prevent corruption and enforce the law.
Of course, such a loose commission can lead to gross infringements of civil liberty; Moffs might, in the name of restoring order, have their troops fire on demostration they deem unruly. However, it must also be remembered that the Moffs took power in a country ravaged by war and racked by political corruption: their powers are intended to allow them to do what was necessary, to prevent the system unraveling into anarchy under the pressure of communist terrorism or radical agitation.
Further complexity was also added to the organization of regional governors by the appointment of Moffs to control areas smaller than the historic sectors of Malatose: Overseas Colonies have their own Moffs, and on Imperial Center, even ministries of the government administration are incorporated as sectors in their own right, such as Imperial Lusankya Security, commanded by Moff Kadir.
Military Executor
</div>The Executor, also called Military Executor, is the person appointed by Emeperor Galius Falucia to serve as commander-in-chief of the Imperial Armed Forces on his behalf. Military Executor is the highest rank in Malatose (besides Emeperor, Moff and Grand Vizier), outranking all other military personnel. Executors answered directly to the Emperor, or his authorized advisors, in all matters. However, although all exceptionally gifted officers, the Executors are not just front-line commanders; rather, they included technical specialists and theoreticians, enabling them to serve as a leadership cadre for the whole military - and indeed the whole Empire. Executors are visually distinguished from other officers in the Imperial armed forces by their gleaming white uniform, sometimes worn with bullion epaulettes and rank insignia, sometimes without any badge of rank.

Imperialization and State Control
</div>With the rise of the Empire, Emperor Galius Falucia went through great lengths to ensure that the old Government of the past be forgotten. All the institutions of Communism found themselves either dismantled or changed beyond recognition. There was a riot of renaming all things "Imperial" to glorify the new Emperor: overnight, the Lusankya Sector was renamed the Imperial Sector, Lusankya itself was renamed Imperial Center.
The People's Senate became the Imperial Senate. The Soviet Army became the Imperial Army, and the Soviet Navy became the Imperial Navy. The four decrepit intelligence agencies of the Soviet Government were merged into Imperial Intelligence, with former Senate Bureau of Intelligence director Ysanne Isard at its head. The Palace of the People was rebuilt and expanded, becoming the Imperial Palace, eclipsing all other buildings on Imperial Center.
Within days, there were few names left to remind the people that there had ever been a Communist Government in Malatose. During the first few years of the Empire, the nation saw the single largest military buildup in history. A council of Moffs was established to more efficiently govern individual sectors and regions of the Empire. The former Commission for the Protection of the People was replaced with Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR).
Laws of State Control
The Imperial Government also passed various laws to tighten its control over the country. The first of these laws was the Enhanced Security and Enforcement Act. The Enchanced Security and Enforcement Act gave some of the Senate's powers to the Chancellor, and also gave away some fundamental rights of citizens to the central government.
Among other things, the Act allowed for searches and seizures to be conducted without warrants or due process, and permitted the unrestricted use of observation tools. It also dealt harsh penalties for captured pirates, smugglers, and rebels.
Another law passed was the Security Act. It nominally transferred Power of the Senate to the Emperor. It also removed Senatorial oversight of the military, placing Emperor in direct command and naming him Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.
The Sector Governance Decree was a proclamation passed by Emperor Falucia. It created the positions of Regional Governor and Sector Moff, which basically made the Senate worthless and increased the power of the Central Government over each Province.
COMPNOR
The Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, or COMPNOR, is an umbrella organization for various entities that are designed to maintain support for Galius Falucia's New Order.
History
COMPNOR, which replaced the People's Commission for the Protection of Communism, originated as a popular ideological organization, and the Emperor quickly acted to draw it into his sphere of influence—within months of the Declaration of the New Order, the cultural and youth groups had been grafted onto the pre-existing framework of People's Commission for the Protection of Communism.
Crueya Vandron, one of the Emperor's advisors, played an important role in establishing COMPNOR as an asset of the Empire, with Sate Thomas and Ishin-Il-Raz also playing important roles.
Under the leadership of Falucia's advisors,COMPNOR gained a powerful hold over the Empire, and its organs insinuated themselves into every corner of society. The Imperial Security Bureau was established as a branch of COMPNOR to act as a counterweight to Imperial Intelligence, and it became the Emperor's all-pervasive secret police organization. The Coalition for Progress established monitoring agencies to keep track of all aspects of life.
Ideology
The New Order, also called the New Imperial Order and the New Era of Power, is the name given to Emperor Galius Falucia's political program, which is the underlying ideology of the Continental Empire. Declared when Flucia established the Empire, it is institutionalized in a number of Imperial organizations.
The New Order criticizes the pereived decadence and weakness of Communism and Capitalism, and advocates an authoritarian and militaristic social and political culture.
The New Order's ideology is also pervasively chauvinist, possibly due to its military origins. The armed forces are almost entirely male, as are most of the Emperor's advisors. However, there are notable exceptions.
Structure
The Select Committee is the executive body for COMPNOR. The Select Committee had a variable number of members, and the COMPNOR charter provided for electoral and honorary means of being named a member of the Select Committee.
The Sub-Adult Group is COMPNOR's youth organization, and is made up of enthusiastic youths who firmly believed the New Order is the best regime for the nation and devote their lives to upholding and respecting it.
The Coalition for Progress is an information-gatherers agency of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. It began as a weak cultural organization, understaffed and underwhelming, but has developed into a massive information-gathering agency with monitors throughout the country. It examines massive amounts of data, the majority of which was mundane, for indications of dissident or anti-government activity, and forwarded summaries to the more-important Imperial Security Bureau.
The Coalition for Improvements is a socio-political engineering agency of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. It was assigned to "improve" systems, which have deviated from the ideals of the New Order. These systems required long term solutions, and Improvements was required to keep their work behind closed doors, as their solutions are typically not best associated with the Empire.
The Imperial Security Bureau, also called Imperial Security, abbreviated ISB, is a key intelligence organization of the Empire. It is separate from, larger than, and often rival to Imperial Intelligence.
In addition to operating as a standard intelligence agency, the ISB is a part of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, or COMPNOR, charged with maintaining morale and loyalty among members of the Imperial military and citizens. Lord Crueya Vandron, one of Falucia's closest advisors, is effectively the head of both COMPNOR and the ISB.
Imperial Security Bureau
The Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) was created to heighten the Emperor's knowledge of political and militaristic events within his Empire. The Bureau is staffed soley by those loyal to the New Order. Primarily, the ISB is responsible for the internal security of the Empire. Much of the ISB’s functionality; however, arises from experienced counter-intelligence agents who attempt to insure that their intelligence is as good, or better than that of the ISB’s rival agency, Imperial Intelligence.
The ISB serves more of a enforcement function than does the Ubiqtorate in Intelligence, having a more public presence. Its operatives, especially in Surveillance, will often identify themselves as members of ISB, the intimidation value being worth the loss of secrecy.
ISB Officers monitor and maintain the loyalty of Imperial citizens, in addition to assuring that no hostile intelligence agencies infiltrate the Empire. The Imperial Security Bureau also performs duties similar to a police force. The difference to a police force is that the ISB focuses its primary attentions on political rather than civil matters. In short, the Imperial Security Bureau upholds Imperial Law within the Empire.
Imperial Security Bureau Commission of Operations
The Commission of Operations is responsible for passing on the directions of the Central Office directly to the Sector Officer for each of the various ISB branches. The Commission of Operations is located in the ISB Central Office, a a immense complex located in Imperial Centre/Lusankya. The ISB’s branches include: Surveillance, Investigations, Internal Affairs, Interrogation, Re-Education, and Enforcement. All communication between sector offices and otherwise is held directly through the Central Office.
The Imperial Security Bureau is organized into six different organizations.
- Surveillance is the largest branch of ISB, with nearly 35 percent of all personnel in the Bureau. This Bureau is commonly employed to search for potentially rebellious activity. What they find, if substantial enough, is turned over to Investigations.
- Internal Affairs concerns itself with the oversight of matters within the Empire, putting the loyalty of all under close inspection and, ensuring the direct application of Imperial Law within the Empire's own ranks. Besides the investigative staff, every Imperial Garrison, ship and Command has a public Internal Affairs officer. These ISB Officers are available to hear all information ranging from personnel complaints, to rumors of ill-loyalty among co-workers.
- Interrogation comes into play after a suspect is apprehended, typically by Investigations, and is charged with extracting any data that the suspect has been reluctant to willingly divulge. The information uncovered is sent back to Investigations.
- Re-Education concerns itself with those members of the State who have been convicted of a crime by Internal Affairs. Those convicted are sent to Re-Education and are forcibly retrained and re-indoctrinated, then returned to a post of lower importance.
- Enforcement provides the specialized peace-keeping talent for the ISB, occasionally for Internal Affairs, but most often they lend their expertise to Investigations. Gathering the more covert operations experts within the branch of Enforcement, coupled with the ability to call upon the strong arm tactics of the standard Imperial Military, the ISB has sufficient brawn and firepower to back its intricate information and intelligence agencies.
- Usually unlike the other branches of the ISB, enforcement concerns itself with specialized, and often independent, operatives contracted to achieve ends endorsed by the ISB. These contracted operatives are put to use by many of the different departments, but there is some tension caused by those employed who are not COMPNOR members
Society
The culture in Malatose is ascetic, minimalist, pro-Imperial, pro-business, pro-individualist and Militaristic. These aesthetics are encouraged throughout the nation by the Coalition for Progress, an arm of COMPNOR. The Imperial Government is not particularly brutal in the suppression of artistic culture, as it is primarily interested in military and political dominance. However, pressures from the New Order have left their mark on the art of the Imperial period.
Education
The Imperial Government considers Education one of the most important subjects in Malatose. That is one of the main reasons why the Imperial Government spends ten percent of the annual budget for educational purposes. The 20,667,994,886,418.89 education budget allows the purchase of high-tech teaching facilities, up-to-date books, computers and other advanced tools such as chemistry equippment. One of the most popular educational facilities in Malatose is the Imperial Institute of Higher Studies.
It is known as one of the premier learning facilities in the New Order. This establishment gives students the opportunity to study all range of topics under, of course, the tight observation of Imperial professors. This control of academic education is just one aspect of the basis of Imperial mind conditioning. Pro-Imperial attitudes are supported and rewarded during these studies and any anti-regime ideas are observed, controlled, and, if necessary, wiped out.
Another popular institute if the University of Lusankya. It houses nearly several dozen campuses. In order to administer the nearly two million schools, The Imperial Ministry of Education was established. The Imperial Ministry of Education is given the task of homogenizing the level of education throughout the Empire, to place emphasis on the values cherished by the New Order.
Sports
Sports is considered one of the main activities in Malatose, being that it is officially supported by the Government. The Government sees sports as a way for youth, as well as adult citizens to compete against eachother in a friendly and safe enviroment. Currently, Malatose has over 5 registered sports teams, ranging from hockey, futbol, soccer and basketball. There over seven stadiums in Malatose, each constructed and funded by the Government.
Holidays
New Year Fete Week: is the first five days of the new year as determined by the Imperial Calendar, but before the first month. The week long holiday period is opened with the famed Shaldania Parade, which showcased the Empire’s technology and power.
The Festival of Life: This week occurs between the 6th and 7th months. The week is a time of parties, family times, and gift-giving.
Remembrance Day: This day occurs on the 19th day of the 3rd month and is a day of remembrance to all of those who have fallen in the defence of the New Order.
New Order Day: This day occurs on the 9th day of the 8th month, and is a celebration for the great Emperor, who has brought peace and order to the nation of Malatose once more.
Empire Day: is an annual celebration marking the Declaration of a New Order by Galius Falucia and the establishment of the Continental Empire of Malatose.
Labour Day: This day which occurs on the 19th day of the 10th month is a day where the work performed by each individual is celebrated.
The Imperial Fair is the one of the largest holidays in Malatose and was a traditional fair held annually in Lusankya. The Fair is held along Glitannai Esplanade and incorporats dancing, acrobatics, shopping, technology exhibits, food pavilions, and a massive parade of military might. From the surrounding spires, thousands watched as the parade ended in Pliada di am Imperium. There at the base of the Imperial Palace, dignitaries will bestow blessings on the crowd from an open-air balcony. The Imperial Fair was also the sight of the Grand Display, which included displays created from various artist.
Economy
</div>Malatose has a very complex and diverse economy. Following the Civil War, Malatose started a process of stabilization and expansion of the economy. During the old Socialist Days, The Ruble were not always accepted. With the rise of the Empire that changed with the creation of the Imperial Credit. Imperial Credits are considered of value almost anywhere, even outside the sphere of the Empire. They are issued in a variety of forms, including electronic credit sticks and cards, stocks, coins, corporate and bank notes, and credit vouchers. The denominations of the Imperial Credit are: 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000. Note that coins of larger denominations existed, however, they were not in wide circulation.
The Imperial Government also increased state control and centralized economic procedures. The Imperial Government nationalized Corporations which were supportive of the previous Communist Government, or replaced them with leaders loyal to the Imperial State, and all important arms manufactoring conglomerates were absorbed into the Imperial Military-Industrial Complex.
While dramatic increases in state control and centralization of economic procedures, it has little effect on the Economy. This was evident with the massive rise of the GDP and rise of the Imperial Currency. It was also during this time the Imperial Government established the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council.
After the sweeping economic changes, The Imperial leadership formed the Imperial Business Bureau and the The Imperial Industry and Commerce Council. The Imperial Business Bureau moniters complaints and keeps a list of all business in the Continental Empire. Currently, there are over 12,000 registered businesses and 85,000 high profile currently registered in Data Bank.
The other major organ of business control is the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council, which is composed of the presidents or chief executive officers of the Imperial nationalized corporations and groups, the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council is an organization of businesses designed to improve, secure, and further Imperial corporate interests in the economy. The Council is overseen by the Imperial Ministries of Diplomacy and Finance, both of which serve as liaisons to the Council and Empire, and are dedicated to improving the holdings of each.
Responsabilites of this Council include Purpose, Expectations, Dispensations and the Bylaws that effect this elite group. Although the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council manage the four major nationlized military corporations of the Empire, there are thousands of privatized companies, which supply both civilian and military goods. The economy is fueled by an abundance in natural resources such as coal, petroleum, and precious metals.
Industry
The largest Industry in Malatose is Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology. Other Industries include motor vehicles, aerospace, telecommunications, chemicals, Oil Production, electronics, food processing, consumer goods, space vehicles; defense industries including radar, missile production, and shipbuilding.
Agriculture
Just like Industry, The Continental Empire of Malatose has a very wide agriculture base. Malatose produces corn, soy beans, rice, wheat, fruit, grapes and various other items.
Imperial Military Corporations:
Vektor Corp
Vektor Corp Industries is one of Malatose's top three arms manufacturers, with Dynamic Munitions and ImpStar Munitons being its main competitors. Vektor Corp Industries is also the market leader in the manufacture of personal energy weapons and light artillery. Vektor Corp is most famous for its automatic weapons, the G-20 and G-30.
Incom ShipYards
Incom ShipYards is the largest military shipbuilding corporation in Malatose. Incom Corporation Ship Yards is known for the construction of the newly popular ships such as the Leviathon-class SuperCarrier and Daedalus-class Nuclear Guided-Missile Cruiser, which bristles with a plethora of weaponry making the Empire capable of defending itself against outside invaders. Incom ShipYards does not only sell to the Imperial Government, however. Many foreign governments purchase its weapons for the purposes of defending their country from outside aggression. Incom Shipyards is known to create various subsidiaries which operate in different fields. These include:
- Incom Leisure - focuses on civilian vessels.
- Kuat Submersibles - builds underwater docking ships and Tanker vessels.
- Kuat Systems Engineering - Focuses mainly on Submarine designs, such as the Anarias and Venators. They also design high tech SONAR and other underwatet electronic systems.
Santhe AeroSpace Systems
Santhe AeroSpace Systems is a major aircraft manufacturer for the Imperial Airforce. The Corporation is mainly known for the new Imperial MF-1 Vektor Air Superiority Fighter and the Thunderbolt Ground Attack Aircraft. Santhe Aerospace also supplies the Imperial Space Program with shuttles and high-tech satellite systems.
Arakyd Industries
Arakyd Industries is mainly contracted by the Imperial Military because of its advancements in the field of missile technology. Arakyd has developed Malatose's deadly S-600 Surface-to-Air Missile system, as well as, the nations Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.
Xenias Technologies
Henias Technologies, also known as the back bone of the Imperial Army, is the Imperial Army's largest supplier of personal body armor. Xenias manufactures the high-tech XE-101 Xenias Combat Infantry Gear system, perhaps one of the most potent systems in the world. Because of that achievement, Imperial Troops are well protected and prepared for any battlefield that awaits them.
Other Corporations
Aside from the massive Imperial Military-Industrial Complex, there are hundreds upon hundreds of Companies, which supply citizens and the military with their everyday needs as well as supply citizens with thousands of jobs. The current Imperial Business Bureau statistical data sheet put the makeup of corporations at the following:
- Agricultural companies: 56
- Smaller Arms manufacturing companies: 59
- Communication companies: 12
- Construction companies: 35
- Foodstuff manufacturers: 25
- Medical companies: 40
- Shipwrights: 19
- Technology companies: 70
- Transport companies: 10
- Vehicle manufacturing companies: 29
Communications
The Continental Empire of Malatose maintains one of the world's largest communication networks. This includes Cell Phone, Cable TV, satellite, radio and internet. This massisve influx of communications technology comes thanks to the Imperial Government's "Technological Leap Forward", which saw the Imperial Government invest heavily in the communications Industry.
Television
The Imperial Television Network is a complex system to say the least. Cable Television is provided by Rothola Cable Systems, while Satellite TV is provided by Holonet Satellite Systems. The systems currently host over three-hundred channels, which is everything from Family Programming to news around the world. Unlike other institutions of the Continental Empire, The Imperial Government rarely exercised control over Television networks. This is most evident in Imperial Holovision Vision or IHV. Imperial Holovision staunchly maintained a pro-Imperial, pro-business, pro-individualist stance, without supporting government protection and supervision of rights. Its reporting style is detailed, sophisticated, and for the most part accurate. Rather than distort the Empire's more questionable policies, it simply ignored them altogether, ensuring that the population at large never even heard about the New Order's opression. Most channels are broadcast in the nations native language of Malatosian; however, others are broadcast in both English and Malatosian Another. It is estimated that over 95% of the population has access to Cable and Satellite TV.
Internet
Just like Imperial Television, Imperial Internet, provided by Veriops, is considered one of the worlds most advanced systems. Malatose has currently replaced the standard cable system, and has replaced it with hundreds of miles of Fiber Optic Cables. This allows the normal everyday person to access the internet at over 100Mbit/s. For those who don't have internet access available to them, there are thousands of local internet cafes, where a person can use the internet free of charge. It is estimated that 90% of the Malatosian Population has access to the internet.
Wireless Communications
The Empire of Malatose current communications network is operated by three companies. These three Companies, provide 7.186 billion citzens with cell phones. It is estimated that over two million Wireless Signal structures exist; however, the government, along with the three major providers refuse to confirm these claims. The current cost of maintaining such a network has reached up to four Trillion Credits; however major cost are split by the companies. Along with Cell Phones, these companies also provide citzens with Wi-fi connections, which can be used forlaptops and PDA devices.
Transportation
The Imperial Transportation Authority is the regional transportation planning and public transportation operating agency for the Empire of Malatose. The agency develops and oversees transportation plans, policies, funding programs, and both short-term and long-range solutions that address the County's increasing mobility, accessibility and environmental needs. The Imperial Transportation Authority currently employs over 120,000 people.
Additionally, the authority partially funds sixteen municipal bus operators and a wide array of transportation projects including bikeways and pedestrian facilities, local roads and highway improvements, goods movement, Freeway Service Patrol and freeway call boxes within the Empire.
Buses and Rail Service
</div>The Imperial Transportation Authority operates a fleet of over ten-thousand buses. Buses are designed to run a carefully timed schedule. which allows citizens to make to their destinations quickly. It is estimated that over a million people a day board the local bus services. Also, the Imperial Transportation Authority operates various surface rail services around the nation. The Empire of Malatose is currently in the process of upgraded all their major rail networks to embrace Maglev systems. Currently, 90% of the current rail services have been upgraded.
Imperial Transportation Authority also manages over one-hundred local Subway systems. Thes subway systems were designed as alternatives to those who don't want to ride the local surface rail services.
Highway System
The highway systems of Malatose are complex to say the least. Most highways are massive 10 lane systems, which connect all the Imperial Sectors together. These massive systems were constructed by the Imperial Transportation Authority on orders from the Emperor himself. Imperial Highways have no general speed limit (though about 50% of the total length is subject to local and/or conditional limits), but the "recommended speed" is 90 mph.
In order to keep crime low and enforce the law, the Impperial Security Bureau created the Imperial Highway Security Bureau. The Highway is patrolled by unmarked police cars and motorcycles equipped with video cameras; this allows the enforcement of laws.
Air Transportation
Air Travel in Malatose is provided by three major carriers. Imperial Air Transportation, Eagle Transportation and Delta Air Transportation. The total number of passenger aircraft combined is over 56,000 and ridership per year is estimated at 50 million. Most of the aircraft operate from the four major airports in the country, and from the local smaller airports also.
Imperial Intelligence
</div>Imperial Intelligence, sometimes abbreviated Imperial Intel, is the elite intelligence agency of the Continental Empire of Malatose. It is the rival to the larger Imperial Security Bureau. Shortly after the Declaration of the New Order, Lord Crueya Vandron initiated a massive overhaul of the governments intelligence apparatus (presumably with the blessing and help of Director of Intelligence Ysanne Isard ). The Governments four decrepit intelligence agencies of the Socialist Government were amalgamated into the new Imperial Intelligence and placed under the authority of Isard. The Imperial Senate authority to interfere in and oversee intelligence affairs was also removed.
The mission of Imperial Intelligence is to support the Emperor, Imperial High Command, and all Imperial officials who make and execute Imperial policy by:
- Providing accurate, comprehensive, and timely foreign intelligence on all security topics.
- Conducting counterintelligence activities, special activities, and other functions related to foreign intelligence and state security, as directed by the Emperor.
- Providing advisory to all branches of the Empire on foreign intelligence matters.
-- To accomplish its mission, Imperial Intelligence engages in research, development, and deployment of high-leverage technology for intelligence purposes. As a separate branch, Imperial Intelligence serves as an independent source of analysis on topics of concern and also works closely with the other organizations in the Imperial Security Council to ensure that the intelligence consumer - whether a Moff or battlefield Commander - receives the best intelligence possible.
As changing realities have re-ordered the Imperial security agenda, Imperial Intelligence has met these new challenges by:
- Creating special, multi-disciplinary centers to address such high-priority issues such as nonproliferation, counter-terrorism, counterintelligence, organized crime and narcotics trafficking, environment, and arms control intelligence.
- Forging stronger partnerships between the several intelligence collection disciplines and all-source analysis.
- Taking an active part in Intelligence Community analytical efforts and producing all-source analysis on the full range of topics that affect Imperial security.
- Contributing to the effectiveness of the overall Intelligence Community by managing services of common concern in imagery analysis and open-source collection and participating in partnerships with other intelligence agencies in the areas of research and development and technical collection.
Command System
Unlike the Imperial Security Bureau, Imperial Intel personnel are not organized according to a military-style system of ranks. Rather, they are assigned on a case-by-case basis. They are formally addressed as "Agent (Name)", in lieu of a rank.
The Director of Imperial Intelligence:
</div>The Director of Imperial Intelligence is the representative and chief of staff for the Ubiqtorate, and Bureau Chiefs within Imperial Intelligence. The Director is responsible for establishing and managing the Empire's methods and support systems for acquiring, sorting, and analysing information and threats to the Empire. Operations requiring the waging of unconventional warfare or the use of deniable assets will commonly come under the hand of the Director as well. While a civilian, the Director of Imperial Intelligence is afforded a great range of movement within military matters, advising as available. Ultimately, the Director is responsible for the administration and execution of all affairs within and undertaken by Imperial Intelligence, and reports only to the Emperor. Ysanne Isard's office is located in the Imperial Palace.
The Deputy Director of Imperial Intelligence
The Deputy Director of Imperial Intelligence is the Executive Officer Imperial Intelligence. The Deputy Director is responsible for managing personnel and resource allocations within the various Bureaus and Branches. The Deputy Director will also perform tasks as required by the Director of Imperial Intelligence, and will succeed the Director of Imperial Intelligence.
Bureau Chiefs of Imperial Intelligence
The Bureau Chief is the Chief of all personnel and management in their assigned Bureau. The Bureau Chief will supervise all Operations and Missions the Bureau is assigned, and the Bureau Chief will present all results to the Ubiqtorate.
Ubiqtorate
The Ubiqtorate oversees all of the activities of Imperial Intelligence at the highest levels. The Ubiqtorate formulates strategies for the bureaus of Imperial Intelligence and presents the bureaus with a set of goals and very broad grand strategic considerations and asks them to plan an effective strategy. With the exception of adjustments, members of the Ubiqtorate never have any communication with personnel at a lower level. They would certainly never deal with an individual field agent.
Bureau of Analysis (Analysis)
This bureau handles gargantuan amounts of data from tens of millions of sources. In addition to looking for enemy activity, it looks for patterns or trends in social data, which might be useful to the agents over in Intelligence. Analysis also handles, examines and copies useful technologies, even developing a few of their own.
Bureau of Operations (Operations)
Of all the bureaus in Imperial Intelligence, this is the one which is called the "Bureau"; no one in Imperial Intelligence for more than a few days would call it anything else. Operating in the strictest secrecy, the Bureau conducts all manners of clandestine and special operations and information gathering for Imperial Intelligence.
Adjustments
Adjustments is the most elite branch of Imperial Intelligence, with the exception for the Ubiqtorate, which directly controlled Adjustments. Adjustment agents are called in when the Ubiqtorate felt that a critical situation had slipped from the control of Imperial Intelligence, and that the situation was beyond the normal capabilities of the bureaus, yet was not completely hopeless in resolving. Agents of Adjustments would receive orders directly and in person from the Ubiqtorate. Ubiqtorate would inform Adjustments what the problem was, what resources were available to find a solution to the problem, and the Adjustments team would then solve the situation. No record of their orders was ever kept and no mission files existed within the Plexis for these agents.
The Imperial Armed Forces
The Imperial military is the military arm of the Empire of Malatose. It is responsible for carrying out military operations throughout the world, as well as maintaining order in colonies, and protectorates. Since, the Empire's New Order is based on fear and force, the Imperial military formed a very important part of the Imperial government. The normal term of service in the Imperial Armed Forces is two years; however, a soldier can request to serve more time.
Command Structure
The Imperial War Machine is operated by the Imperial High Command. The Imperial High Command is the agency responsible for coordinating the Imperial Military during war as well as peacetime. It also has ties to the Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Intelligence agencies. The effective head of the Imperial High Command is the Military Executor, with officials from the Imperial Army, Navy and Airforce also having a seat on the panel.
Another Organ of the Imperial Military High Command is the The Imperial Military Oversight Commission The Imperial Military Oversight Commission is a committee of Imperial officers and agents whose task is to review data collected from Imperial excursions and battles and analyze any problems there may be within the Imperial Navy and Army. They would then make their suggestions to the Military Executor and even to the Emperor himself in order to improve the Imperial war machine.
Each Military branch has a commanding officer who is in responsible for the organization, training, and equipage of his branch. Grand Admiral, Grand General and High Marshal are the highest Military ranks in the Continental Empire, besides Military Executor. These new ranks were appointed by Emperor Falcuia and answer directly to him, the Military Executor and Imperial High Command. Just like the rank of Executor, these men are not just front-line commanders; rather, they include technical specialists and theoreticians, enabling them to serve as a leadership cadre for the whole military.
Education
Each Branch of the Imperial Armed Forces had their own specialized training programs.
Naval recruits first attended the Imperial Naval Academy to gain the basis of their higher education and military discipline, and then continued their education at the Imperial Naval College, where Academy graduates received specific training on naval operations, combat, and command functions. Finally, non-commissioned officers and recent graduates of the Imperial Naval College could participate in a training program through the Imperial Navy Officers' School to focus on military customs and courtesies, military history, leadership, officership, deck command exercises, discipline drills, and other pertinent areas of education of potential officers. Upon graduation, trainees were commissioned in the Imperial Navy as Lieutenants.
Imperial Airforce Pilots attend the Imperial Air Academy. Imperial Pilots represent some of the elite of the Imperial Military having to under go grueling physical and psychological conditioning to achieve their ranks. An elite corps, only 10 percent of Airforce Pilots successfully navigate the intense training and testing of the Imperial Airforce. The rest are reassigned throughout the Airforce as gunners, crewmen, and other personnel.
Imperial Army Troops attend the Imperial Army Academy. The Imperial Academy is located in eight Sector Provinces, totaling over one-hundred schools. The central focus of the Academy is its training of Imperial Troops, and teaching obedience, discipline, and loyalty. Every trainee that pass through the gates of the Academy participated in the basic training and field exercises before moving on to their more specialized training. Live fire field exercises provided practical experience as well as the means to test new weapons in combat situations. Due to the facilities being massive, the Academy's staff and students numbered over 1 million in a given year. A full four-year course at the Academy cost the Empire an average of 500,000 credits per student. Facilities at the Imperial Army Academy include: Imperial Military Training Base, Imperial Engineering Academy, Imperial Special Forces School, Imperial Tank Training Fields, Imperial Artillery Field.
Grand Imperial Army
</div>The Imperial Army is the largest branch of the Imperial Armed Forces and has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. It currently has 179,242,000 Active Personnel. The modern Imperial Army has its roots in the Free Continental Army which was formed to fight against the Communist Regime of Malatose. the Imperial Army considers itself to be an evolution of the Free Continental Army, and thus dates its inception from the origins of the Free Continental Army.
The branches of service include motorized rifles, tanks, artillery and rocket forces, troop air defense, army aviation, special corps (reconnaissance, signals, radioelectroninc warfare, engineering, radiation, chemical and biological protection, technical support, automobile and the protection of the rear), military units and logistical establishments:
- Motorized rifle troops - most numerous branch of service, that constitutes the basis of ground forces and the nucleus of their battle formations. They are equipped with powerful armament for destruction of ground-based and aerial targets, missile complexes, tanks, artillery and mortars, anti-tank guided missiles, antiaircraft missile systems and installations, effective means of reconnaissance and control.
- Tank troops - main impact force of ground forces and the powerful means of armed struggle, intended for the solution of the most important combat problems.
- Artillery and Rocket Forces - main firepower and the most important operational means in the solution of combat problems by the crushing defeat of groupings of enemy.
- Army aviation - intended for the direct support of the Ground Forces
- Air Defense Troops - are one of the basic weapon for the destruction of enemy aviation. It consists of surface-to-air missiles, radio-technical units and subdivisions.

Imperial Space Force
The Space Force Mission is to defend the Continental Empire of Malatose through the control and exploitation of space. Space Command makes space reliable to the warfighter (i.e. forces personnel) by continuously improving the command's ability to provide and support combat forces — assuring their access to space. In addition, the command's ICBM forces deter any adversary contemplating the use of weapons of mass destruction.
- Space forces support involves launching satellites and other high-value payloads into space using a variety of expendable launch vehicles and operating those satellites once in the medium of space.
- Space control ensures friendly use of space through the conduct of counterspace operations encompassing surveillance, negation, and protection.
- Force enhancement provides weather, communications, intelligence, missile warning, and navigation. Force enhancement is support to the warfighter.
Force application involves maintaining and operating a rapid response.
Imperial Space Forces operates and supports the Imperial Global Positioning System, Defense Satellite Communications Systems Phase II and III, Defense Meteorological Support Program, Defense Support Program, DKF III and IV communications and Fleet Satellite Communications System UHF follow-on and IMPSTAR satellites. Imperial Space Force operates all launch vehicles. This includes all of the nation's primary boosters from the Eastern and Western ranges and range support for the Imperial Space Program. ISP also operates the nation's primary source of continuous, real-time solar flare warnings. The command also operates a worldwide network of satellite tracking stations to provide communications links to satellites — a system called the Imperial Satellite Control Network.
Ground-based radars used primarily for ballistic missile warning include the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, S-600 Tactical ICBM Detection System. The S.H.I.E.L.D Optical Tracking Identification Facility, Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance System, Passive Space Surveillance System, phased-array and mechanical radars provide primary space surveillance coverage.
The ICBM force (apart from the SLBMs operated by the Imperial Navy) consists of the R-45M Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that provide the critical component of Malatose's on-alert strategic forces. More than 500 ICBMs are currently on alert in reinforced concrete launch facilities.
Imperial Stormtrooper Corps
</div>The Imperial Stormtrooper Corps is a branch of the Imperial military that is not under the control of the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, or Imperial Intelligence but operated alongside those groups as an elite service. Like the Emperor's Royal Guard Corps, it is under the direct control of the Emperor. Imperial Stormtroopers are chosen through a vigerous testing program.
If a man between the ages of 18 and 30 scores in the top fifth percentile, an Imperial recruiting agent would contact these people and immediantly recruit them into the Stormtrooper Corps. Men who don't score that high are still wanted as regular soldiers. Also, it was preferable if stormtrooper recruits met a certain standard in height and weight.
Stormtrooper training includes basic training and field exercises before moving on to their more specialized training. Stormtroopers go through ferocious training as a unit, which provides strong unit cohesion on the battlefield as well as a willingness to fight on despite heavy casualties. Stormtrooper training is also accompanied by thorough indoctrination to Imperial Ideology, above and beyond what the normal military is exposed to.
Stormtroopers are also trained to provide security for the Emperor, the capital and other important Government officials.
Stormtrooper Command maintains its own command structure, ranking system and support facilities. Stormtroopers are loyal only to the Emperor himself, and only follow orders from Army and Navy personnel at their discretion.
The basic unit of organization was the individual trooper. Each stormtrooper was assigned a number for tactical purposes and to reinforce the Imperial ethic of uniformity. Troopers were organized into squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, and legions. A company commander could give command to any regular officer over any given squad or platoon. A single battalion consisted of 820 soldiers
Nuclear Doctrine
The Continental Empire of Malatose reserves the right to allow the use of Nuclear Weapons in any situation. Base Delta Zero is the current Imperial doctrine on when and under which circumstances to use nuclear weapons.
The doctrine cites 8 reasons under which field commanders can ask for permission to use nuclear weapons:
- An enemy threatening to use or using WMD against Imperial, multinational, or alliance forces or civilian populations.
- To prevent an imminent biological attack.
- To attack enemy WMD or its deep hardened bunkers containing WMD that could be used to target Malatose or its allies.
- To stop enemy potentially overwhelming conventional forces.
- To rapidly end a war on favorable Malatose terms.
- To make sure Imperial and international operations are successful.
- To show Malatosion intent and capability to use nuclear weapons to deter enemy from using WMDs.
- To react to enemy-supplied WMD use by proxies against Malatosion and international forces or civilians.

Imperial Military Uniforms
T Continental Empire of Malatose organized four large organizations into the Imperial Military machine, and implemented a coded set of Imperial military uniforms to make discerning an individual's affiliation a simple process.
The Imperial Service Uniforms consisted of a pair of pants, overfold tunic, and cap, along with standard black plast-leather belt, gloves and boots. Branches received color-coded uniforms with matching pants, tunic and cap, with the exclusion of COMPNOR personnel, which use black pants and caps. These uniforms serve as the core for the majority of personnel, although high-level officers in each branch are given wider authority to customize their uniforms, as in the case of most Admiral's, General's and Marshal's uniforms.
There are several basic types of uniform in the Imperial Forces and related organisations. Imperial design and technology emphasis all-purpose modularity, but there also combat, casual and cermonial versions of the most uniforms.
