The Indiana Empire is a huge country located in the south-east of the Eldoria continent. Which covers 34% of the continent. In the past it's been called the Indiana Kingdom, a mid-country. But six hundred years ago they began to expand their territory and establish an empire. which is now known as the Indiana Empire.
This country is known for its mixed culture. Many species of people live in this country. Elves, Dwarfs, humans, Beastmen and many other species.
But it would be wrong to say that they live happily together. Because the ruling group of this country is the human. Other species were like slaves to them. However, the laws of the empire provide for equal rights for all species. But it was established 600 years ago. At present, the upper classes of the empire do not see them well. They consider them inferior. However, not everyone is of the same opinion.
When the empire was founded 600 years ago, all species were said to have equal rights. But that is past now.
The capital of the Indiana Empire is a large city covering an area of more than seven hundred kilometers in which more than three million people live. The region was divided into six districts . Imperial District (Central District ) , Commercial District, Artisan and Craft District, Military and Defense District, Academic and Research District, and Residential District.
The Imperial palace is located in the middle of the capital. The Imperial Palace of the Indiana Empire loomed like a colossal monument to power, its towering spires piercing the sky, casting long shadows across the imperial capital. Carved from black marble and adorned with intricate gold and silver inlays, the palace was a testament to the empire's might and the absolute authority of its ruler.
In the cavernous Throne Room, an architectural marvel that could easily host a thousand guests. The room, with its vaulted ceilings, massive crystal chandeliers, and walls decorated with centuries of imperial history.
A figure currently sits on an obsidian throne in the Throne Room within this palace. He wore a magnificent khalat - a long, flowing robe of the richest royal blue silk, so deep it appeared almost black in certain lights.
Over the khalat, he wore a tight-fitting, sleeveless surcoat of golden brocade. The surcoat was cinched at the waist by a massive belt of solid gold, studded with precious stones - rubies the color of fresh blood, emeralds as green as the most fertile lands, and sapphires blue as the deepest ocean. Around his neck, a heavy gold torque. Multiple magic rings adorned his fingers - each one contains great power.
The situation in the throne room is tense.
"So you mean that the Britannia Kingdom has made friends with an unknown country. About whom you know nothing?"
The one who said this is Cirpus Vex Magnus. Ninth Emperor of the Indiana Empire. His voice echoed throughout the throne room. He gripped the handle of his throne.
Cirpus Vex Magnus. He became the Emperor of the Indiana Empire 10 years ago at the age of 16. After killing his entire family. He is known by many names, Mad Emperor, Merciless Emperor, Last Magnus, Bloody Emperor. The cruelty of Cirpus Vex Magnus is at an extreme level. That is responsible for racial discrimination within the Indiana Empire. Because he is a very fascist minded person.
His fascist ideology had reshaped the empire, creating a strict racial hierarchy that divided citizens into classes.
His activities gave rise to many rebellions. But he suppresses everything with his strong power. He kills everyone who goes against him. Because of that Civil war started in the entire empire. Many high nobles also declared war against him and this war lasted for nine months. However, in the end Cirpus Vex Magnus won the battle. It is estimated that more than 3 million people died in the war.
Due to which he became known as a cruel emperor. Inside and outside the country. Cirpus, however, paid no heed to these and rigidly established his rule. Despite his brutality, he had also modernized the empire, improving infrastructure, education, and military capabilities. Also, the most important thing is to rid the empire of corruption and crime. Since the cruelty of Cirpus was known to all, no one was disciplined to break the law. However, the benefits were not for other species . who are considered as second and third class citizens.
They are given only limited benefits.
Which was determined by Cirpus.
Cirpus turned to the three people bowing before him. Their foreheads pressed against the marble floor. They are sweating and shaking.
"Why don't you answer?"
"Your Highness, although we do not know much about this country, we have been able to gather some information. Like, they come from the monster sea. Also our spies tell us they have huge iron ships. Which was huge. Just like our iron ships but they claim they were bigger. " One in three people. He seemed to be middle-aged with a big beard on his face. He said in a trembling voice. Although he did not dare to raise his head.
Cirpus narrowed his eyes at them.
"Is that all you got?"
"Your Majesty, their products are also very strange. They are also selling soaps, perfumes, high rank medicines to the people of Britannia at very low prices. We don't know why they are doing this. But in the Britannia market they have received a lot of responses. Also, the two Britannia's cargo ships that we destroyed using pirates for creating shortages of goods in Britannia's market that plan was failed due to this. " Another man said he was also very scared. Just praying that the emperor doesn't kill him. His body is sweating profusely.
But to their surprise, Cirpus's response was unexpected. A low, dangerous laugh began to build in his throat, echoing through the massive throne room. The sound was neither of humor nor joy, but something far more sinister.
Cirpus rose from his throne. And down the stairs. He stood in front of the three.
They still bowed. Just praying for their lives.
"What did you say the name of that country?"
"Your Majesty, this is The Empire. "
"The Empire," he murmured, rolling the name on his tongue. "Interesting... I want to see how long they can help Britannia. "
Cirpus looked at the three again.
"Did they join the Ostra Alliance? "
"No, Your Majesty. But I heard that the Emperor of The Empire is coming to Britannia to attend Princess Elina's engagement ceremony. Representatives of all countries of the Ostra continent will also participate there. Also I'm not sure but there are rumors that some important people from the Torantum commonwealth will attend the event. "
Cirpus's expression darkened, a flicker of irritation crossing his features. "Tch! Those East Continent bugs."
As he turned to leave, a devilish grin spread across his face. "Proceed with the plan," he commanded.
A muscular man who has been silent all this time follows Cirpus silently - his personal guard and rumored chief executioner.
