Culture and Ethnicities:

There are many different ethnical groups occupying the lands of the Federated Imperium. Largest ethnical groups are the Kvens (19%), Goths (16%), Tiberians (15%), Avalonians (17%), Agodals (16%) and the Kojiki (10%), while there are seven percents of various indigenous and immigrant populations. Most dominant, and ethnically and culturally similar, groups are the mostly blonde and white Kvens, Goths and Avalonians, who inhabit northern areas of the Federated Imperium. They have a long and proud history of culture and civilization, and generally members of these groups are the most cultured ones, expect for some people living in rural areas.

In the southern areas largest ethnic group are the Tiberians, along with some smaller groups, while in the east Agodals and Kojiki are prevalent. The south is generally less developed than north, and cultural differences are visible. In south, family members have more closer ties to each other, while in the north people tend to move away from their homes in search for work or better education, and southerners are also generally more religious and superstitious than their northern counterparts.

Eastern areas of the Federated Imperium are inhabited by the Slavic Agodals and Asiatic Kojiki are distinctively different from other areas of the Federated Imperium, due to some major cultural differences. The Agodal culture in some aspects is quite similar to the ones practiced by Kvens, Goths and Avalonians, but nomadic traditions and ways still lie on strong in the Agodal culture, and they're known as temperate, but brave and loyal people, while the Kojiki tend to hang on to their traditions and own cultural heritage, emphazising control over one's mind and ancient virtues.

All over Suur-Uusimaa, despite ethnicities, places of residence or religion, there is militarism in some degree, loyalty to one's superiors and strong work ethicts. prevalent in the culture. From school, citizens of Suur-Uusimaa are taught to be loyal to authorities, whether they are parents, teachers or the imperial government, and to work hard and loyally. Militarist influences exist all over the society, and this can be seen everywhere, from strict discipline in schools to authoritarian and strict leadership methods in factories. From childhood, citizens are taught the virtues of warfare, first through considerable emphasis on physical education in school, and later through survival, martial arts and weapons training classes, to prepare them for their service in the armed services of the Federated Imperium.

Work ethics are also important in the society of Suur-Uusimaa, and workers generally do their work timidly and effectively, and avoid taking holidays. Employees usually work for the same employer for their entire life, and a good employee can be sure that he or she has a guaranteed career in whatever company they choose to enter.

Basic Information

Suur-Uusimaa is a federative state with an oligarchic form of government, a Federated Imperium, where the power is vested by noble families and leaders and other officials chosen from amongst these nobles. The country is divided into six subdivisions, the Kvenish Commonwealth, Electorate of Gothia, Union of Tiberia, Avalonian Confederacy, Grand Duchy of Agodal and Kojiki Dominion. These semi-autonomous states maintain a certain degree of autonomity in internal issues, but are under the authority of the central administration. Leaders of these areas are normally the heads of the Great Houses controlling the area. In addition, there is an area known as the Imperial Province, which is under the direct administration of the Imperator and acts as the center of government for the Federated Imperium.

Government System

The head of the Federated Imperium is the Imperator or Emperor, who is responsible for heading the government and the military of Suur-Uusimaa. The Imperator is elected for life by heads of the six Great Houses who are the supreme forces in the politics of Suur-Uusimaa:House Kven of the Kvenish Commonwealth, House Steiner of the Electorate of Gothia, House Calderon of the Union of Tiberia, House Davion of the Avalonian Confederacy, House Romanov of the Grand Duchy of Agodai and House Kurita of the Kojiki Dominion, and usually is one of the heads of the great houses. Leader of each of the Great Houses is called Archon. Current Imperator is Augustus Victor von Kven of the House Kven, which has held the seat of the Imperator for 80 years in row now.

When an Imperator dies, the House leaders gather to the Great Fortress of St. Victor in the Imperial Province to elect the new leader of the Federated Imperium. The election process usually lasts for several weeks, and during this period, a lot of intrigue and plotting between the Houses happens. Usually leader of the strongest House becomes the Imperator, but usually the strenght isn't measured entirely in the House's military and economical strenght, but also in it's ability to conduct intrigue and plotting.

The leaders of the Great Houses, along with the House leader who is the Imperator, are part of the Council of Six, which acts as the government of Suur-Uusimaa and assists the Imperator in his decision-making. It is also a way to assure that the Imperator does not act too dictatorially, but the actual power of the Council is greatly depended on it's members, and particularly the personality of the Imperator. In addition, the Imperator appoints an Imperial Cabinet of experienced and trusted individuals from various fields of the society of Suur-Uusimaa to assist him in ruling the Federated Imperium and administrating various ministries and government offices.

Military:

Defence of the Federated Imperium against external, and to some extent, against internal threats is the responsibility of several forces under the supervision of the Imperial Ministry of War, directly under the command of the Imperator. The IMW is headed by the Lord High Marshal of Armies, who is a an experienced military officer of noble descent. Under his command is the branch of the IMW that is responsible for assisting the Lord High Marshal of Armies in every-day business of the Imperial military, the Imperial High Command.

The Imperial military itself is divided into two main branches:Imperial Army and the Territorial Guards, with the Imperial Army also containing naval and air forces in addition to it's ground forces. The Imperial Army is divided into four branches:Imperial Land Forces, Imperial Naval Forces, Imperial Air Force and the Imperial Guard.

Imperial Land Forces

The Imperial Land Forces forms the backbone of the Imperial Army, as it is responsible for ground combat operations, and also gets most of the defence budget. Soldiers in the Imperial Army receive modern and effective training, and they are taught to use the latest equipment in Imperial Army use, and receive wide education regarding surviving in the nature and various combat techniques. Commander of the Imperial Land Forces is the Lord Marshal of Armies

Imperial Land Forces are approximately 2 million men strong, in addition to which there is a sizeable reserve that can be called to service during a military conflict.

Imperial Naval Forces

The Imperial Naval Forces are responsible for defence of Suur-Uusimaa's sea area, and for guaranteeing the availability of shipping lines during a time of crisis. They are a large and modern force, and they utilize latest technologies developed by the military industry of Suur-Uusimaa. Imperial Naval Forces have placed a particular emphasis on development of "Stealth"-technology along with the Imperial Air Forces, and this has produced some useful applications for both services. Imperial Naval Forces are commanded by a Lord Admiral of Fleets

The Imperial Naval Forces are divided into two Fleets, Western and Eastern Fleets, which are both commanded by a Lord Admiral. All Imperial warships have a prefix HIMS, for His/Her Imperial Majesty's Ship, in front of their names.

Imperial Air Force

The Imperial Air Force is a branch that is sometimes over looked in public attention when compared to the Imperial Land and Naval Forces, but they are still an equally, and perhaps even more important branch of service in the military. IAF is responsible for protecting the airspace of Suur-Uusimaa and assisting other branches of service whenever necessary. It is commanded by the Lord Air Marshal

Imperial Guard

The Imperial Guard is the proud elite of the Imperial Army. Composed of the most intelligent and fit warriors in the Federated Imperium, they are the first and last line of defence for the Federated Imperium and the Emperor. Equipped with latest products of the war industry of Suur-Uusimaa, and given best training possible by some of the best military instructors on earth, soldiers of the Imperial Guard are extremely skilled warriors who are fiercely loyal to the Imperator. The Commandant of the Imperial Guard acts as the commander of the Imperial Guard. Current Commandant is Guard Commandant Marcus von Kven. The Imperial Guard is composed of various-sized units ranging from regiment (4000) to division (25000) size and totalling 450 000 troops. Most famous of these units is First Division of the Imperial Guard "Imperator's Hammer", which acts as a personal bodyguard and strike force for the Imperator. Imperial Guard uses a different rank structure than the Imperial Land Forces.

Territorial Guards

The Territorial Guards are composed of local military forces of the subdivisions of Suur-Uusimaa:The Kven Guard, Gothic Guard, Tiberian Guard, Avalonian Guard, Agodal Guard and Kojiki Guard. These forces are normally under the command of their territorial leaders, but if needed, they may be taken over by the Imperial Government for operations as part of the Imperial Army. Operations, size and equipment of the Territorial Guards have been severely limited by the Imperator several times, mainly to ensure that disloyal nobles do not use the Guards against the Imperator. It is also rumored that the Territorial Guards have been widely infiltrated by operatives of the IMNS (Imperial Ministry for National Security), and that covert IMNS operatives are ready to assassinate their commanders, should an order like that come from the IMNS commanders. The Guards also use equipment that can be easily integrated with the Imperial Army's own equipment, and a majority of their equipment are old decommissioned weapons and vehicles from the Imperial Army.

Territorial Guards are professional forces, largely composed of former Imperial Army personnel.
