Festarin Empire

The Festarin Empire is a large nation inhabited by a species named the Halis. It is considerably strong militarily, and focuses on swarm attacks commonly. It was established in 513 B.C by Arkanoin Festarin, the self-proclaimed empress of the planet of Noshia, the homeworld of the Halis.

Government

The Government of the Festarin Empire is an Empirical Hedgemony of 24 seperate members, each representing a different trait. the most powerful traits are the Honor, Familial, and Loyalty traits. Each trait varies in power, and this is symbolic of the importance of each trait to the Festarin society. As such, if Honor, Familial, and Loyalty vote together on one law, they invariably win. The Title holder represents an individual seen by the emperor as having the most of their respected trait; for example, an extremely loyal person who commits a unique display of this trait, is titled as Loyalty.

Similarly, a Title is to vote based on whether or not the bill or discussion in question is inline with or in conflict with their respective trait. If a bill or discussion does neither, the individual can vote by choice. For example, were Honor to find themselves in a vote that went against their trait, such as attacking unannounced, they would vote against it. If it were for, say, a tax increase, they would vote as they choose. This system of government lets the government make moral choices, instead of purely political, in theory, however this is not always the case.

Society

The Festarin Empire is based on three characteristics, being Family, Loyalty, and Honor. All citizens are expected to be loyal to not only the empire but also their species, which takes precedent. They are very troublesome when rebelling because of their strong family bonds they have, as many families are very large. Quarrels are few and far between.

The biggest problem for a foreign power is that the Halis are easily offended, and will normally challenge said power, and subsequently engage in conflict with them.
