The Imperial Democracy of Man

WIP

The Imperial Democracy of Man, or more colloquially, the Imperium, is a group of Parahuman states and republics united under a common government and situated on an island in the Forbidding Sea recently brought to light as massive shifts disturbances caused by the Dark Portal opening for the first time and more modern geoseismic disasters brought on by Deathwing's homecoming. As a result of its increased visibility to the outside world, the Imperium has begun deploying scouting forces to analyse other political and military entities outside of their insular land mass and prepare themselves for unfortunate eventualities. However, the Imperium has not been in a bubble; war has plagued it just as much and just as hideously as the rest of Azeroth, and only ended briefly for the few hundred years in which the God-Emperor ruled. With his consignment to the  throne, the Imperium has become increasingly unpleasant and violent. The Orks constantly harass the agri-states and roam the mountains, the forces of chaos seethe around the material universe trying to pry their way in and life under the totalitarian dictatorship that has taken His place is hardly worthy to be referred to as peace.

Society
Day-to-day life in the Imperium is a dull affair. School ends at fourteen and then the child is conscripted into the local State Defense Force or assigned a job according to points earned in the education system. The constant casualties from Ork assaults ensure there's always something for someone to do.

Up until the day the mirror shields shut down, the crews of any ships to arrive at Erdethule were detained in a specialised facility in

Technology
The Imperium has extremely advanced technology inherited from Gnomes stranded on Erdethule and advanced rapidly over the centuries by conflict-triggered arms races.
