Imperial Military's public information:

This is the official public released by the Imperial Military's Public Relations Division, headed by His Highness, Sam Welch.

The Military Police is one of the major branches of the Imperial Military and is responsible for keeping peace and order, enforcing laws, and bringing criminals to justice. The Military Police was formed in the third Imperial Year and has since been given complete control over the security of citizens across the entire Empire. The Military Police has established thousands of Military Police Academies across the Empire to encourage younger generations to join the force and fight against the Empire's most dangerous enemy - ourselves. For every major branch of the Military, there exists a corresponding branch of the Military Police, including the AMP (Army's Military Police), NaMP (Navy's Military Police), and Air-MP (Air Force Military Police).

The most elite and highly trained soldiers of the Military Police are part of the Special Armed Combat Forces (SACF) and Counter Terrorist Division (CTD). In case of armed conflict within the jurisdiction of the Military Police, the SACF will be dispatched to quell the conflict. The SACF is heavily armed and has the authority to engage using their weapons at any time. The CTD is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the Empire's citizens against acts of terrorism. It is a large intelligence agency with direct control over the SACF. The formation of the CTD has significantly reduced terrorism across the Empire.

The Military Police is under the jurisdiction of the General Assembly, which is an assembly of senior ranks of the Army, Airforce, and Navy. It serves as the King's retainer to help rule and keep order within the vast Empire. After the increasing threat of the Katz Reich, the King formed the first-ever Assembly of Generals of the Military, which eventually led to the Military taking control of the Empire's daily activities. The General Assembly grew more autonomous over time, and 700 years ago, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Grant I, split the Empire into the commonwealth, with the Colonies and Dominions being led by their own Garrison General. The mainland is under the rule of the King/Queen and is called the United Kingdom, while the entire nation as a whole is known as the Empire.

The Military Police, as the primary law enforcement agency in the Empire, holds a unique position within the General Assembly. While it is under the jurisdiction of the Assembly, no member who is not a senior officer of the Military Police can ever take over the command of any Military Police soldier. This exception to the General Assembly's "No one is above another" law ensures that the Military Police can carry out their duties effectively without any interference.

In fact, under legal circumstances, any Army, Navy, or Airforce officer or soldier must obey the orders of a Military Police officer. Failure to do so will result in insubordination and subsequent dishonorable discharge from the Military. The Military Police's authority is crucial in maintaining peace and order across the Empire.

To further ensure that the Military Police operates independently and effectively, the Empire created the Justice Division. The Supreme Imperial Court, also known as the Imperial Laws, is part of this division, and its ten highest officials are charged with the duty to reshape and redefine what the law means. The Imperial 10 has the final legal say over what the Military Police can and cannot do. The Justice Division defines the laws, while the Military Police enforces them.

Although the Justice Division is part of the Special Administrative Corps of the General Assembly, its members are mostly civilian officers with little to no experience on the battlefield. They have a vast enough knowledge to be charged with the duty of keeping order in administering the population of the Empire. However, the General Assembly still has the higher power over them, and with a large enough majority, they can veto the decision of the special divisions. Such cases are rare, few and far between in the 900 years of the Empire's existence.

In conclusion, the Military Police and the Justice Division play crucial roles in maintaining peace and order in the Empire. Their independent and specialized operations ensure that the laws of the land are upheld, and any threats to the Empire are dealt with swiftly and effectively.

The Special Administrative Corps of the General Assembly is responsible for overseeing various administrative functions of the Empire. In addition to the Justice Division, there are several other divisions and agencies that fall under the Special Administrative Corps.

One such agency is the Imperial Census Division, which is responsible for collecting and maintaining data on the population of the Empire. The Imperial Census Division plays a crucial role in determining the distribution of resources and services across the Empire, as well as identifying areas that may require additional support or investment.

The Imperial Census Division provides critical data and analysis to inform decision-making on resource allocation, infrastructure development, and social policies. The Division conducts surveys and maintains extensive data libraries, conducting research to ensure that the Empire can provide for the needs of its citizens without depleting its resources.

In addition to its civilian functions, the Imperial Census Division is also vital to the Military, monitoring the number of recruits, reserves, and active soldiers in the Armed Forces. This information is essential for military planning and strategy, enabling the General Assembly to make informed decisions about the deployment of troops and allocation of resources to support military operations.

Another Division of the Special Administrative Division is the Imperial Division of Standards is a vital agency under the Special Administrative Corps of the General Assembly. Its primary responsibility is to ensure that all products and services meet the Empire's high standards of quality and safety. This includes everything from food and medicine to construction materials and transportation services.

The Division of Standards uses a variety of methods to ensure that products and services meet the Empire's standards. They conduct regular inspections and tests on products and facilities to ensure they are up to code. They also work closely with manufacturers and service providers to help them meet the Empire's standards.

The importance of the Division of Standards cannot be overstated. By ensuring that products and services meet the Empire's high standards, the Division helps to protect the health and well-being of the Empire's citizens. They also help to maintain the Empire's reputation as a leader in quality and safety.

In addition to its civilian functions, the Division of Standards also plays an essential role in the Military. As part of the Military Industrial Corps regulation board, the Division has external jurisdiction to ensure that the industry is held to the same high standards as civilian products and services. They also work closely with the Industrial Corps Weapons Division to provide the Military with high-grade, standardized equipment.

Overall, the Imperial Division of Standards is an essential agency that helps to ensure the safety and well-being of the Empire's citizens. Their work in maintaining high standards of quality and safety is critical to the success of both the civilian and military sectors of the Empire.

The Imperial Delivery and Logistics Division is a vital component of the Empire's infrastructure. Its role in ensuring the timely and efficient delivery of goods and supplies across the vast expanse of the Empire cannot be overstated. The Division is responsible for coordinating the movement of personnel, equipment, and resources across the Empire's various regions, ensuring that everything arrives on time and in good condition.

The civilian and military components of the Division work closely together to ensure that the needs of the Empire's citizens and military personnel are met. The civilian component is responsible for managing the delivery of mail and packages, as well as overseeing the transportation of goods and resources across the Empire's various trade routes. The military component, on the other hand, is responsible for the transportation of troops, weapons, and supplies to the front lines of the Empire's many ongoing conflicts.

The military component of the Division is the largest and most important division of the Military, as it provides critical logistical support to the Empire's armies. The Division's civilian logistical experts work closely with Military Generals to determine the most effective and efficient ways to move troops and equipment across the Empire's vast terrain. They are responsible for ensuring that troops have access to food, water, medical supplies, and ammunition and that everything arrives in a timely manner.

The Civilian Commerce Security Division (CCSD) is the last standing Division that caters to the protection of civilians in the Empire. With the Empire's rapid modernization, the need for civilian catering was dropped and most of the Catering Divisions dissolved in favor of Administration ones. However, the CCSD still stands and remains committed to its mandate of ensuring the safety of the Empire's citizens.

The CCSD is a Division of trained bodyguards and security guards who are responsible for the protection of civilians, especially those engaged in commerce. They work tirelessly to ensure that business transactions and trade are carried out without fear of robbery or other criminal activities.

Their work is essential for the smooth running of the Empire's economy, and the CCSD has played a vital role in protecting the Empire's economic interests for centuries. The Division's agents are highly skilled and trained to protect their clients from all types of threats, including theft, kidnapping, and assassination.

Although the General Assembly has pushed for modernization and the dissolution of most Catering Divisions, His Highness Sam Welch has ordered the preservation of the CCSD, as he believes that the Empire's past is just as important as its future. He understands the importance of the CCSD in ensuring the safety of the Empire's citizens and will not allow it to be forgotten.

The Imperial Ministry for Happiness is a critical division of the Empire's administration, tasked with ensuring the well-being and happiness of its citizens. In times of war and strife, it's crucial to maintain the morale and spirits of the people. The Ministry for Happiness is dedicated to this mission, working tirelessly to uplift the population and keep them smiling.

Through careful planning and execution, the Ministry for Happiness has become adept at providing the daily dose of happiness that the Empire's citizens need. They work closely with the Public Relations Division to ensure that positive messages are disseminated throughout the Empire, keeping everyone informed and uplifted.

In times of crisis, the Ministry for Happiness becomes even more critical, providing crucial support to those who are struggling. Their efforts have helped the Empire weather many storms, and they remain a vital part of the Empire's administrative apparatus.

The Ministry for Happiness is a testament to the Empire's commitment to its citizens, showing that the well-being and happiness of the population are of the utmost importance. By maintaining a positive and uplifting environment, the Empire ensures that its citizens can thrive even in the most challenging of times.

Other agencies that may fall under the Special Administrative Corps include the Imperial Revenue Service, which is responsible for collecting taxes and managing the Empire's finances, and the Imperial Transportation Authority, which oversees the Empire's transportation infrastructure. Imperial Education Authority: The Imperial Education Authority (IEA) is an agency under the Special Administrative Corps that oversees the Empire's education system. Imperial Medical Corps: Another vital agency under the Special Administrative Corps is the Imperial Medical Corps (IMC), which is responsible for the health and well-being of the Empire's citizens. The IMC oversees a vast network of hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities, ensuring that every citizen has access to quality healthcare.
