The Ryzan Empire
Glory or Death!
--##Ryzan Empire Transmisson##--
If you are out there, if you are a nation, a faction, know that you are not alone. Across the vastness of space spans the Ryzan Empire, who rival even the huge Eternia. Our Empire knows no bounds, and our Imperial might shall be seen and envied by all lesser nations. You can join us. Seek out our homeworld, our fleets, our colonies. Or you can stand against us, oppose us, block us. Be you a group of pirate scum, an alleged nation, or even mere merchants, if you stand in our way, we will destroy you.
Purge the unclean!
Cleanse the heretic!
Glory to Ryza!

The Ryzan Empire is a new nation founded in the hostile, dystopian universe that Eternia dominates. It is a nationalistic, militaristic, and xenophobic nation. Foreign nations must work extremely hard to earn the trust of the Empire, although the Empire welcomes those who will drop their values and take up Ryzan ones. Recruits for the military are welcomed from all across space, as long as they follow their commanding officers and swear undying allegiance to the Ryzan Empire and the God-Emperor.
This faction is for the RP server Eternia. You must be signed up and accepted to that server in order to join the Ryzan Empire.
Government
The government of the Empire is an absolute monarchy. There is an Imperial Parliament filled with five different ministers, however these ministers are hired, not elected, and sometimes these positions are unfilled. The Emperor does much of the governing nowadays, as it is vital for the Empire's military to remain strong in this time.
Military
The military has two branches only: the Navy and the Army. Currently, the army is not really needed and serves as a police force on planets. The Navy is the strong point of the Empire. The two branches are led by the Commander, who organises the military on the largest scale. The Navy is then split up into battlefleets, consisting of 3-5 large ships. Each of these battlefleets are led by a Commodore, and in turn each ship is led by a Captain.
Economy
Businesses and Industry in the Empire are owned by the state. Main areas of the economy are divided into 'committees'. Notable committees are the Imperial Salvaging Committee (ISC), the Imperial Construction Committee (ICC), and the Imperial Manufacturing Committee (IMC). The ISC, and to a lesser extent ICC, are the ones who explore the furthest reaches of space in their ships, the ISC travelling to different sectors looking for valuable objects, sometimes travelling with the military to salvage enemy ships after battle, and the ICC going to the fringes of the Empire to build up the colonies. The Imperial Transport Committee (ITC) handle the transport of materials and civilians. Each committee is headed by a Premier, and each ship, factory, or large base is headed by an Overseer.
Interior
The streets of the Empire are kept in order by the military. A division of the army known as the Imperial Militia are the grunts. They act like a normal police force, detaining and executing criminals. However, the Empire also has its own secret police force: the Imperial State Security Committee (ISSC). The ISSC has two ranks: the Commissar and the Commissar Overseer. Each Commissar of the ISSC watches over a large area, using bugs and tapping techniques to increase his field of knowledge. The Overseer assigns different agents to different locations, records all reports made by Commissars, and informs the Emperor of important information.
Religion
Majestic cathedrals and churches are dotted throughout the Empire, but they are dedicated to something far different from usual religions. In these buildings, the Emperor is praised, the God-Emperor, the creator of Ryza and its protector. In Ryzan religion, the Emperor is the one who will lead them to salvation, the chosen one, a great military leader. The sermons also praise the military, fighting, and Ryzan imperialism. The church is a useful tool for the Ryzan government. Attendance every week it not compulsory, but it is said that if one does not attend for a few months or so they go 'missing'.
Laws
Breaking any of these laws will get you kicked from the faction. Three of these warnings will get you kicked from the faction. Some of these may be linked to IC, for example you may be committing an act of terrorism by opening fire on Ryzan ships. Getting kicked simulates you receiving the death penalty.
Article I. Do not grief Ryzan ships, buildings, territories, or possessions.
Article II. Do not attack Ryzan citizens, ships, buildings, or territories or possessions.
Article III. Do not attempt to steal resources, ships, funds or services.
Article IV. Do not disobey an order from a superior.
Article V. The Emperor retains absolute power. He can create and remove laws at will, and is exempt from all
Article VI. As soon as a Ryzan citizen attacks other Ryzan citizens, buildings, territories, or possessions, he/she is immediately considered a rebel and is no longer considered a citizen. The military is free to eliminate the person.
Article VII. Citizens may not own or use a ship with antimatter cannons, missile arrays, salvage computers, powerdrain/powersupply beams or astro technobeams. The only time these can be used is if the tool is required for your job.
Article VIII. Citizens may not own or use dis-integrator explosives.
