Introduction

The Democratic Imperium of Praetonia is a Liberal-Imperialist Constitutional Monarchy with Socialist economic leanings. Her capital, Praeton, is the centre of an Empire that streches from Manium to Roach-Busters, and commands one of the most powerful navies in the world. The Imperium is based on values of liberty and democracy, but this does not exclude the possibility of bringing other, less well governed peoples into the light of Praetonian civilisation. In fact, the doctrine of Liberal-Imperialism that is currently so popular strongly encourages it. The people of Praetonia are hardworking, well educated and politically active. They are heavily taxed, but water, food, housing, education, transport and healthcare is provided for free by the state, along with an excellent pension based on how long the person has been in work. The Imperium is a land of supposed contradictions brought together in politics to forge an outstanding nation and Empire which is currently only rising in power and influence.
