<br />
The [[Imperial Marshals]] were established by an act of the [[Landsraad]], originally and still known in the [[Eastern Imperium]] as the '''Mango Rangers''', to serve as the provincial arm of the [[Imperial Constabulary]] of [[Shireroth]], and are tasked with responsibility for the general policing of the Imperial Dominions as well as liaison with the public order and policing forces of the Imperial States. Within the Eastern territories, it's intensively aided in its police tasks by the [[Tegong]] with which it exists in a tenuous relation.<br />
<br />
The Imperial Marshals are obliged to maintain a Field Office in each Imperial State's seat of government as well as a Legatine office in every capital of the four Imperial States. In addition to these Imperial Marshals are expected to maintain a Liaison Office in the administrative center of every county or similar second level subdivision. <br />
<br />
In addition to law enforcement activities the Imperial Marshals are also expected to operate as public order troops. After 1655 the Imperial Marshals were mandated to increase the proportion of their budget that was fulfilled through revenue gathering exercises such as the levying of tariffs and fees with the intent of becoming self-financing by 1660.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Equipment==<br />
<br />
For reasons of economy, the Imperial Marshals were mostly equipped with weaponry recovered from [[Feudalism|feudal]] arsenals dating back to the early Third Era, re-bored, re-chambered, and repaired where necessary.<br />

<br />
The '''Shirerithian elections of 1729''' were a series of elections that were planned to take place in the [[Imperial Republic of Shireroth]], following the previous elections held in 1723 AN. However, these elections were ultimately postponed due to a combination of factors, including the illness of Steward [[Louis Thuylemans]] and concerns about foreign interference in the country's politics.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Steward Louis Thuylemans, who was instrumental in uniting the factions within the [[Mango-Strengthening Movement]] during the previous two elections, broke his arm on New Year's Day of 1729 AN and subsequently fell ill. His condition caused concern among the ruling parties, who began to stall for time, citing the need for Thuylemans' recovery before proceeding with the elections.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, tensions between Shireroth and the [[Benacian Union]] continued to escalate, as [[Operation Jagdbeute]] - in which the Benacians attempted to gain control of military equipment in case Shireroth were to leave the Raspur Pact - had not been forgotten. This led to growing worries about the threat that the Benacian Union posed to Shireroth's sovereignty and national security.<br />
<br />
==Postponement of Elections==<br />
In light of these circumstances, the Imperial Court decided to postpone the elections, citing the need to protect the country from foreign interference and ensure the stability of the Imperial Republic. The decision was met with mild protest from the Eastern Dominions, but the blessing of the [[Xinshi Heavenly Light|Heavenly Light]] and the confirmation of the [[Kaiseress Salome|Kaiseress]]' Mandate of Heaven helped to keep dissent in check.<br />
<br />
However, the postponement of the elections was not without controversy. In the [[Sathrati|Emirate of Sathrati]], which had long been a hotbed of anti-imperial sentiment, the decision was seen as undemocratic and further evidence of the Imperial Republic's disregard for the rights and freedoms of its subjects. This resentment only grew louder after the publication of the imperial decree "[[Shireroth First: A New Era of Independence and Self-Reliance]]", which banned foreigners from holding important positions in the Imperial Republic.<br />
<br />
==Consequences==<br />
The postponement of the 1729 Shirerothian general elections marked a significant turning point in the political landscape of the Imperial Republic. It contributed to the growing unrest and eventual rebellion in Sathrati, during the [[Emergency of 1730]].<br />
<br />
Moreover, the postponement of the elections highlighted the deepening divisions between Shireroth and the [[Benacian Union]], which could eventually lead to the outbreak of war between the two powers. It also underscored the Imperial Republic's difficult ongoing struggle to balance its desire for independence and self-reliance with the need for cooperation and collaboration with foreign powers and an increasing lack of willpower to peacefully resolve issues among the ruling elite and opposition.<br />

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was an [[Wikipedia:invasion scare|invasion scare]] in the [[Emirate of Sathrati]] when an intervention by the [[Imperial Forces]] to overturn the [[Protocols of Erudition]] and depose the [[Council of Sathrati]] was expected. Thanks to the presence of the Imperial Legions, despite being nominally part of the Emirate, none of the Khaz Modanese island groups (So-Sara being the largest) except for Zy-Rodun, took the side of the Council of Sathrati.<br />
<br />
The crisis would see the [[Honourable Company]] go to considerable lengths to protect its long established investments in the region.<br />
<br />
==Overview of Sathrati preparations==<br />
<br />
In Laemill (VIII) of {{AN|1730}}, rising tensions with the Imperial government in [[Raynor's Keep]] led the [[Council of Sathrati]] to issue a "[[Council of Sathrati/Directives#Directive 1730-001|Declaration of Preparedness]]" amid fears of an imminent [[Shirerithian]] intervention to overturn the [[Protocols of Erudition]] and depose the Council. This directive set in motion a series of defensive measures across the Sathrati islands.<br />
<br />
The paramilitary and militia forces present in the islands were temporarily integrated into a unified "Combined Sathrati Forces" built around the command structure and hierarchy of the [[Jaysh al-Sathrati]]. [[Zurvanudin Miran al-Osman]], an experienced military leader, was appointed overall commander of these forces which fell under the strategic control of the Southern Banner Group of [[Benacia Command]].<br />
<br />
To better coordinate the defence, each of the major islands - [[Amity]], [[Mirioth]], [[Yardistan]], and [[Zy-Rodun]] - was designated as its own "Defence Sector" led by an appointed commandant. The two corps of the Jaysh al-Sathrati divided responsibilities, with the I Corps overseeing Yardistan and the II Corps managing the other three sectors.<br />
<br />
Available military assets of the Jaysh were assigned to reinforce each of the sectors based on assessments by the high command. This included significant numbers of infantry, armoured cavalry, artillery, and air support units fanning out across strategic locations on the islands.<br />
<br />
Civil defence measures were also implemented. All airports and ports were closed except those granted specific exemptions. The [[Sathrati Vanguard Corps]], a paramilitary wing of a major political party, mobilised defence volunteer units in each local bailiwick to assist with patrols, static defence, and security missions.<br />
<br />
[[Infernal machine]]s were spotted being laid in the waters near [[Novi Nigrad]], suggesting preparations for coastal defense as well. Meanwhile, a "[[Holy Order Peace Camp in Sathrati|peace camp]]" was established in the capital, [[Novi Nigrad]], by anti-war centenarians, though authorities allowed this protest to proceed.<br />
<br />
With forces moving into defensive positions and the islands effectively in lockdown, the Combined Sathrati Forces waited tensely through 1730.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
*1730.VII.13–1730.VIII.12: [[ESB-Jagdverbände]] began to arrive in [[Sathrati]], taking over primary responsibility for the security of the [[Council of Sathrati]] headquarters in [[Novi Nigrad]], the members of the council resident in the isles, and Novi Nigrad International Airport.<br />
*1730.VIII.19: Following reports from the political officer paid to attend upon the [[Imperial Household (Shireroth)|Chamber of Petitions and Pleas]] and represent the interests of the Council at the Imperial Court in [[Raynor's Keep]], alongside similar concerning diplomatic cables from the legation of the [[Benacian Union]] to the [[Commission for Foreign Affairs]], a [[Council of Sathrati/Directives#Directive 1730-001|"Declaration of Preparedness"]] was issued by the [[Council of Sathrati]], formalising the temporary integration of paramilitary and militia formations present in the Emirate into the [[Order of battle for Combined Sathrati Forces, 1730|Combined Sathrati Forces]], the establishment of defence sectors, and certain measures of preparedness to be undertaken across each of the sectors.<br />
*1730.VIII.20: Inshore craft observed to be engaged in the setting of [[infernal machine]]s in the [[Wikipedia:Roadstead|roadstead]] of Novi Nigrad and the adjoining bay areas.<br />
*1730.VIII.21: <br />
**A [[Holy Order Peace Camp in Sathrati|peace camp]] was established in [[Novi Nigrad]]. Bemused authorities allowed the initiative, dreamt up by a group of centenarians belonging to the [[Order of the Holy Lakes]] to proceed unopposed.<br />
**The [[Imperial Marshals]], assisted by the ''Pxepcetxežyreho, 8re Dekošyre Ġuseš'', started arresting politicians and nobles aligned with ESB on charges of corruptions and bribery, across the Khaz Modanese isles. While successful on So-Sara and most minor isles, police actions in [[Zy-Rodun]] were thwarted by armed resistance of the [[Regiment of the Blackfriars']].<br />

<br />
The [[Imperial Forces]] is composed of several military branches, namely the [[Imperial Army (Shireroth)|Imperial Army]] (these days a continuation and expansion of the original [[Palatini Corps]]), the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth]] (INS), the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), the [[Ordo Imperiale Decimae]], the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] and [[Auxiliary Forces (Shireroth)|Auxiliary Forces]]. The nation itself is divided in several military regions, called Departments. Untill the early 18th century, the Forces closely worked together with the [[Raspur Pact]]. Disagreements and potential departure from the Pact, led to hostile actions taken under the leadership of the [[Benacian Union]] against to retrieve military assets. Ever since the [[First Thuylemans Government]], the Forces have been preparing for a potential conflict with its neighbour, which has been seen increasingly as a threat to Shirerithian sovereignty. <br />
<br />
==Recent History==<br />
===Feudal Armies===<br />
The Imperial Forces of Shireroth were once a mighty military force, consisting of three main branches: the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy of Shireroth (INS), and the Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF). With a large population and vast territory, Shireroth was able to boast one of the largest and most powerful armies on Micras during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, the effectiveness of the Imperial Forces was hampered by their reliance on the support of local lords and their feudal armies. Despite their impressive size on paper, internal conflicts and competition for resources made them less formidable in reality. In fact, one of the grievances of the Kildari during the [[Revolution of 1617]] was the lack of faith they had in the ability of the Kaiser and his Imperial Forces to defend the borders against invasions, such as that of the Garllicians.<br />
<br />
In the 17th century, the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] became increasingly important, providing essential logistical support and acting as a reserve of paramilitary militia. However, the Kalirion Fracture devastated the Imperial Forces, reducing them to a small remnant of their former strength. The [[Palatini Corps]] emerged as a replacement for the Imperial Army, but this allowed for an opportunity to reform and modernize the remaining forces. <br />
<br />
===Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth===<br />
The Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth (RPTM-S) was established in 1679 at the initiative of [[Benacia Command]]. The aim of RPTM-S was to assist in the development of Imperial Forces training structures and institutions so that Shireroth could build an effective and sustainable capability that addressed the needs of the Imperial Republic, that would defend its remaining territories against secessionists and which would be able to resist any further efforts at capitulation by the [[Imperial Regency|regency]] in [[Shirekeep]]. RPTM-S was not a combat mission but was a distinct mission, under the political control of the Raspur Pact's Joint Military Council. Its operational emphasis was on training and mentoring. The activities of the mission were coordinated with the Shirerithian Ministry of State, whose minister was the de-facto commander of the Imperial Forces, and the Imperial Advisory Council.<br />
<br />
In 1694 Benacia Command authorised the return of a significant quantity of surplus small arms, rejected by the [[UDF]] for use in the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], to the arsenals of the Imperial Republic. These comprising primarily of:<br />
<br />
{{unbulleted list|243,838x &ndash; M1591 7.62 mm rifles|110,750x &ndash; M1656 9 mm sub-machine gun|80,000x &ndash; M1525 9 mm pistols|79,188x &ndash; M1508 Martini-Rossi 11.56 mm rifles}}<br />
<br />
The weapons would be transferred from the depots of the [[Black Legions]] in the [[Unified Governorates]] to designated arsenals in [[Brookshire]] and the [[Duchy of the Guttuli]] via a series of road convoys that would travel across the UGB, [[Tellia]], [[Sanama]], and [[Drak-Modan]] in order to reach their intended destinations.<br />
<br />
===Salomeid Reforms===<br />
The early 18th century saw a shift towards a more modern approach to warfare, with new equipment, command structures, and organizational strategies being implemented. Many noble armies were disbanded and integrated into the revamped Imperial Forces, including those of Batavia and Jingdao.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Imperial Forces have a distributed structure that relies predominantly on ground combat as a consequence of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and the loss of advanced military hardware and the trained personnel to operate them. At its low point, the [[Palatini Corps]] was the only armed force under Imperial authority. One of the goals of the Thuylemans Cabinets has been to transform the many various semi-compatible organizations along a more streamlined, Imperium-wide plan.<br />

At the operational level, ground combat units are organized into Reinforced Cohorts ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Toißuszoþ Gauht''), a concept adapted from the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Operations|Guttuli Corps]]'s ''Streïkrupp''. As the name suggests, an infantry cohort is reinforced with attached armored reconnaissance, artillery, and engineering maniples. This allows for the application of heavy weapons systems to be more easily available at the tactical level. The commanding officer of the cohort, typically a Mid-Grade Tribune, serves as the commanding officer for the Reinforced Cohort.<br />
<br />
Three Reinforced Cohorts, along with the parent units for their attached combat support as well as additional defensive and logistical support units, are organized into a Battle Command. The Battle Command is expected to be capable of sustained independent operations.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
[[File:Map of Military Departments Shireroth 1730.png|450px|thumb|right|Map of the Military Districts, in the Year 1730 AN.]]<br />
Implemented in {{AN|1724}}, the Imperium is divided into a series of regional military districts, or ''Departments'', to control and administer military installations and units located within their jurisdiction. Regular transfers between the various departments over the next few years allowed for units with vastly different origins and operating principles to learn and train together.<br />

<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
As directed by the Ministry of State's Commission for Defence, regular Imperial Forces now operate within a single system of ranks, uniforms, and equipment, in order to sustain interoperability. <br />
<br />
On paper, each regional army maintains its own general staff under the authority of its own ''Master of Soldiers'', who creates field formations, called Associations, over whom he designates a ''Standard''. In actuality, the regional armies have been reduced to a merely administrative role, with each general staff tasked with maintaining supply and training. Associations are created under the direction of, under the authority of an appointee of, and receive strategic direction from the Commissioner for Defence. Associations are composed of units freely shuffled between Associations as necessary to meet Imperial strategic goals with the shortest logistical lines. This arrangement is a systematized form of the previous ad-hoc ''Banners'' placed under the appointed authority of a ''Nypḥyk'u'' ([[Red Laqi language|RL.]] "Standard Bearer"), whose subordinate units were a free mixture of militia, professional, and irregular troops as resources allowed it.<br />
<br />
These changes are reflected in the changes to the rank structure, which no longer distinguishes between 'Spear' and 'Specialist' units, which has condensed the general officer ranks considerably, which has placed significantly larger responsibility upon the Field Officer ranks, and which has seen an expansion of Company-Grade and senior-NCO ranks. Under this new scheme, which has been influenced by its roots in the Brookshire militia and re-educated remnants of the Guttuli Corps, NCOs (or ''Principals'') can seek entry into the Officer Candidate program, receive a commission, and gain access to the higher ranks. The children of nobles have adjusted to this more meritocratic officer recruitment process by sending their children into military academies, so that they may qualify for career acceleration upon entry into the Imperial Forces.<br />

===Specialists===<br />
<br />
After two years of their initial contract, soldiers may apply for specialist training. If accepted, they become a Trainee Specialist under the apprenticeship of a Principal Specialist. Following apprenticeship, certification is required for being assigned a specialist billet. Principal Specialists combine skills specialization with the tasks of organic leadership, discipline, and training.<br />
<br />
Entry into a military academy grants certified specialist status upon completion. The most common military academy is an Officer Candidate School, and is required for receiving an officer commission.<br />

==Term of Service==<br />
<br />
Soldiers join the Imperial Forces under an initial 6-year contract. After completing their initial contract, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a second 4-year contract as a Junior Principal. Thereafter, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a third long-term contract as a Senior Principal.<br />
<br />
Soldiers may be up-contracted before their initial contract has been completed if they are highly qualified, highly specialized, or are certified to fill a role that is in particularly high demand.<br />
<br />
Upon honorable completion of service, an individual is awarded with perpetual status under Grade A and a medallion of service completion, so that denizens without merit may know they are legally obliged to provide a demonstration of respect. Failure to maintain dignity of status may result in revocation one's Grade A status and the destruction of one's medallion.<br />
<br />
==Uniforms==<br />
[[File:ImperialForces 1702AN.png|thumb|right|Uniforms for the Imperial Forces, circa 1702 AN.]]<br />
<br />
In the decades after the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Imperium relied upon irregular forces, local militia, and rehabilitated defeated hostile forces to augment the Palatini Corps, the only components of Benacia Command that had remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne. Beginning in the 1690s, regularization became a priority for the Imperial Commission for Defence. Introduced in 1702 AN, a new set of standardized uniform specifications were established, replacing all previous forms.<br />
<br />
The [[Palatini Corps]] retained a distinct color and cut for its field and service uniforms, and was given permission to continue using its distinct Full Dress uniform, first authorized in 1663 AN, when on ceremonial duty in [[Shirekeep]]. <br />
<br />
====Field Dress====<br />
<br />
Issued to all members of the Imperial Forces, derived from the all-weather utility uniform used by the [[Ŝḥenĉeł'yh]] and adopted by the Brookshire Ducal Army.<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces FieldRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Service Dress====<br />
<br />
Distinct variants for Officers and Principals. Service Dress for Officers and Ordinates is modelled on the pre-Fracture Lancer officer tunic, now applied to all officers irrespective of unit type. Service Dress for other Principals uses the same design as the Field Dress uniform but out of the same fabric and dyes as the Service Dress for Officers. Soldiers are not issued a Service Dress uniform, but may purchase it for non-field duty use when authorized by their commanding officer (e.g. ceremonial duty, parade, court appearance, public-facing offices, etc).<br />
<br />

===Imperial Ground Forces===<br />
<br />
[[File:IF 1Leg 1728AN.png|thumb|1. Legio Palatini, a heavy legion first deployed in 1728 AN as part of 1. Corps.]]<br />
<br />
The primary service branch of the Imperial Forces, the Imperial Ground Forces shall be organized into '''Corps''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Uihmanz''). Each Corps shall have the following organic divisions:<br />
* Artillery<br />
* Air Defence<br />
* Aviation<br />
* Operational Support<br />
* Service Support<br />
* Special Operations<br />
<br />
To each combat-ready Corps, there shall be deployed six '''Legions''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Salb''). Legions shall be graded according to their combat role:<br />
* '''Heavy''': armored combined-arms<br />
* '''Medium''': reinforced mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Light''': motorized infantry<br />
* '''Amphibious''': amphibious mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Air Assault''': reinforced helicopter-dropped infantry<br />
* '''Mountain''': light infantry with special training and equipment for high-altitude combat environment<br />
<br />
Additionally, legions identified with the honorary of '''Palatini''' were granted permission to wear uniform variants associated with the Palatini Corps (from whom the new Palatini Legions were derived), as well as the honor of being recruitment pools for ceremonial duty and/or for life guard duty to protect members of the Imperial Family.<br />
<br />
On 1.I.1728, the first such corps, called '''1. Corps''', was stood up and assigned to the Department of the Confluence. It drew soldiers and equipment from the Palatini Corps, Ducal Army of Brookshire, and the Feudatory Host of Kildare.<br />

'''{{PAGENAME}}''', enacted on 20.III.{{AN|1724}} was the codename given to a series of actions inaugurated by Inspectorate and Commissariat formations of [[Apollonia Command]] and [[Benacia Command]] to seize, secure, and recover assets of strategic importance to the [[Raspur Pact]] from the territories of the [[Imperial Republic of Shireroth]], and to decommission any assets that could not be safely evacuated to Pact loyalist territory within a reasonable timeframe. [[Operation Sciurusque]] was Shireroth's own covert plan to counter seizure operations like these and was only partly successful.<br />
<br />
Whilst reported by sources within the Raspur Pact as an orderly series of evacuations ahead of a significant policy change affecting the alliance, the operation would be characterised by hostile commentators as a crude attempt at conducting the first intercontinental [[razzia]] in the history of [[Micras]]. In Shireroth, the raid was seen by several commentators and press as proof of the unreliability of the Raspur Pact with the rogue state, the Benacian Union, in charge. Calls for an immediate end of the nation's membership remained unanswered by the administration but public opinion became increasingly hostile towards the Benacians who were seen as the main instigators.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
[[File:Thuylemans shouts.jpg|thumb|left|During a session in the Folksraad, an emotional Steward Thuylemans calls for unity and the opening of the hunt on traitors.]]<br />
The declaration of the [[Second Thuylemans Government]] concerning its withdrawal from the integrated military command structures of the [[Raspur Pact]] necessitated the commencement of actions to recover and draw down long established Pact [[Inventory of the Imperial Forces (Shireroth)|assets located within the Imperial Republic]].<br />
<br />
The Shirerithian Steward, [[Louis Thuylemans]], called the operation upon its launch the evidence that the Benacian Union had abused the Pact's structures throughout the years to gain access to key infrastructure. During a session on 22.III.1724 AN with the Folksraad he announced at its members: ''“Like a snake, the fascist military leadership of our neighboring country has betrayed our trust: it nestled in our midst. It was not enough for them to integrate parts of our former empire, no, it has cast its eyes on the entire cake. Now it strikes with its razor-sharp teeth in an attempt to further poison what remains. Now that the traitors, within and without, have shown their real face, we will free our homeland from their pernicious influence. We shall prevail!”''<br />
<br />
At the start of the operation, the Thuylemans government had not yet made any moves to leave the Pact. Despite the clear intentions during the [[1723 Shirerithian general elections|1723 general elections]] of the governing parties, the government declaration did not make it clear whether the promises made would actually be implemented. The warm pleas of the Alexandrian and Natopian delegations in favor of membership and promises for a greater role within the Pact had raised doubts among some dignitaries and internally the conflict between the Leave and Remain fraction threatened the unity of the administration. Louis Thuylemans himself was called out by several members of the Folksraad for his hesitant attitude on several occassions prior to the razzia. <br />
<br />
The Benecian actions however torpedoed much of the last goodwill among the public and political elites. In [[Greater Kildare]], pro-Humanist politicians were even targeted and in several cases arrested and sent to [[Kaifazhen|re-education camps]].<br />
<br />
The operation primarily overwhelmed the local national defense and police forces. The Raspurids achieved their first successes mainly in the areas on the Benecian mainland, although fierce resistance soon followed.<br />

***Upon receiving destruction orders, the DAAP Panalkey Station Commandant and Deputy Commandant were relieved of their duties by the camp prefect. Subsequently, datalinks to other DAAP Stations were terminated, cutting the remainder of the organization off from real-time bathymetric readings, 4D mapping of the Daemonic Realm, and research archives. A response message delivered to DAAP Station Demonsfall consisted of the words "Bless the Realm" and a [[wikipedia:computer worm|tapeworm]]. The tapeworm spread rapidly through the DAAP Station Demonsfall computer network, infecting servers, workstations, handheld computers, and peripheral devices, locking out users and initiating a mass delete command. Organizational records and equipment firmware were replaced with copies of [https://youtu.be/dNoejAuiKhk an audio recording of the Hymn of the Anticans], which began to play on repeat. The tapeworm successfully escaped to other DAAP Stations and the general internet, though only DAAP systems were affected by it.<br />
*22.III.1724: <br />
**Inspectorate missions establish field forces in [[Modan]] and [[Highpass]] in order to provide for a secure environment during the recovery and evacuation process.<br />
**[[General Inspectorate of Apollonia Command]] commenced movement of personnel and equipment towards [[Gaelen's Landing]] and [[Port Nevermore]] for inventory, pending evacuation.<br />

***Riled up by a number of disgruntled nobles and commoners, a mob attacks the Raspurid personnel in Gaelen's Landing. Ten Benacians get lynched, while 29 get hurt during the ensuing riots.

***Oversea shipments are halted in the Great Kildarian harbours on orders of the Kildarian and Dalmacijan local authorities, while Raspur Pact personnel is interned in prison camps awaiting their repatriation.<br />
**An argument was observed between officers of the General Inspectorate of Benacia Command and [[Imperial Marshals]] after the former were noted to be moving 80,000x M1525 9 mm pistols and associated ammunition cases across the border into the [[Governorate of Austland]] in a convoy of trucks. Other vehicle convoys, escorted by the Schwinn Circle Field Force are subsequently observed heading towards the borders with Austland and [[East Caverden]].<br />

**[[Benacia Command]] issued a directive mandating the immediate discontinuation in use of all networks connected to the insecure "global internet".<br />
*2.IV.1724: <br />
**Artillery and area defence assets observed to arrive at [[Ohttrazdbarh]] ([[Holwinn]]).<br />
**Hundreds of computers associated with [[Imperial Forces]] and [[IDB]] corporations reported to be infected with the "[[Mog Wiper]]" malware, which renders computers inoperable by disabling rebooting.<br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
<br />
The failure of [[Operation Jagdbeute]] in {{AN|1724}}, which recovered minimal quantities of equipment and personnel from [[Shireroth]], would see [[Ulrich Varens]], Arben Alalehzamini, Bahram Feroz, Jahangir Mir, and Mirza Zurvanudin Khan spend three years in the custody of the [[Magisters-Carnifex]], before they were invited to accept demotions and postings to the troikas of the [[General Inspectorate of Benacia Command]] in the [[Cimmeria and Raikoth Special Autonomous Region]].<br />

'''''Operation Sciurusque''''' was a covert plan developed by Shireroth in anticipation of hostile actions from the [[Benacian Union]] or its Humanist agents within the Imperial Republic prior to its departure from the [[Raspur Pact]]'s military structure. The plan was conceived during the waning relationship between Shireroth and its neighbor under the leadership of the [[First Thuylemans Government|First Thuylemans Cabinet]]. On March 20th, 1724 AN, the operation commenced concurrently with the launch of [[Operation Jagdbeute]].<br />
<br />
However, events unfolded sooner than expected, as Shireroth had not initiated its withdrawal from the Pact's military structures at the outset of Operation Jagdbeute. The primary objective of Operation Sciurusque was to safeguard Shirerithian assets, apprehend disloyal forces, and facilitate an organized retreat of Raspurid military personnel. The public release of the [[Restricted Internet Coded Network|RICNet]] was also more swiftly implemented due to the [[Mog Wiper|malware attack]] on Shireroth's computer facilities, and only partly countered by the professional interference of [[Mangosoft Corporation]].<br />
<br />
A key component of Operation Sciurusque was the organization of seven ''departments'' to act as a temporary regional command structure for the purposes of organizing and administering military installations and units.<br />

<br />
The '''Ordo Imperiale Decimae''' (or '''Ordo Imperii Decimæ Divæ''', or '''Imperial order of divine Decima''') is one of the branches of the [[Imperial Forces]] of [[Shireroth]]. It holds responsibility for the strategic defence of the Imperial Republic against nuclear, chemical and biological attacks. Through one of its agencies, the [[Strategic Defence Initiative]], it's also tasked with the defence of the air space and territory of the Imperial Republic against attack by ballistic missiles.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The origins of the Imperial Order lie with the '''Ly'Technomaezji''', a college of Technomages associated with the Imperial Government since the foundation of the Imperial Republic. It maintained a monopoly on advanced technologies within what was still a regressive and feudal society in the wake of the destruction of [[Khaz Modan]]. As a repository of knowledge the Ly'Technomaezji were able to assist the Kaisers in facing down the threats posed by far superior technological civilisations such as those found in the islands of [[Jasonia]].<br />
<br />
The Ly'Technomaezji, over time, divested themselves of the trappings of arcane lore, which became more the preserve of the [[Vigiles Arcani]] and instead cultivated an interest in the application of eschatology and its related sciences as an influencing factor in political decision making.<br />
<br />
After a long internal debate, the order was renamed the '''Ordo Imperii Decimæ Divæ''' (''Imperial order of divine Decima'') in 1651 to better reflect its mission to watch over what remained of humankind's allotted span. It is often now known more simply as the Order of Decima.<br />
<br />
In 1664, [[Michael Verion]], commissioner of the OID, was the victim of an attempted assassination attempt [[Ayreonist Independence Party|Ayreonist radicals]]. In the aftermath of this attack the Order was placed in the custodianship of [[Fra Alfarr bi Uïhsberht]].<br />
<br />
During the early 18th century, [[Unit 666]] was brought under custody of the Order. An ongoing conflict between Shireroth and the Benacian Union, placed greater importance and focus on the expansion of its Strategic Defence Initiative, which was responsible for the protection of the nation's airspace.<br />

=Alloys Research Establishment=<br />
===Nuclear Deterrent===<br />
[[Operation Tymarian Sun]] (1641) was the first publicly noted atomic weapons test conducted by the Imperial Republic. Comprised of twin detonations carried out over the island of [[Ura'Bos]] the tests sparked panic in the [[Alexandria|Empire of the Alexandrians]] and prompted international condemnation, whilst at the same time providing evidence of the Imperial Republic's deterrent capabilities in the face of a belligerent and nuclear armed Jingdao.<br />
<br />
The precise details of the Shirerithian nuclear deterrent remain a closely guarded state secret. Statistics provided by the Decimæ are deliberately vague.<br />
<br />
*Fission devices: approx. 300<br />
*Fusion devices: approx. 200<br />
*Matter-antimatter collision devices: Two known<br />
<br />
The thermonuclear warheads of the Decimæ are believed to have been adapted to fit within the multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV) of the Imperial Navy's ballistic missile submarine.<br />
<br />
The matter-antimatter collision devices were both reported to be on loan from the [[Natopian Defense Force|Natopian Aerospace Command]] under the auspices of the Raspur Pact for research purposes. Their use accordingly is prohibited without the permission of the Joint Military Council. In 1724 AN, during [[Operation Jagdbeute]], Benacian operatives tried to gain access to the facilities holding these devices. They were foiled in their action thanks to [[Operation Sciurusque]].<br />
<br />
==Chemical, Biological and Radiological Programmes==<br />
The Imperial Republic's biological warfare program was scrapped in 1658 following the decision to adhere to the ''Zaele Protocol'' on the prohibition of such weapons, as a gesture of good faith to [[Caputia]] and the Non-Aligned Movement during the period of heightened global tension occasioned by the [[Sxiro-Jingdaoese Confrontation#War of Lost Brothers|War of Lost Brothers]]. Nonetheless, it remains that the OID continued to operate the [[Microbiological Research Establishment]] (MRE) for the purpose of developing countermeasures to the biological toxins and infectious agents developed by the [[Kalgachia|Kalgachi]] and [[Nova England|Nova English]] alliance as well as a contingency against the future re-emergence of a pandemic on the scale of the so-called ''[[Alexandrian Flu]]''.<br />
<br />
The MRE was also reported to be working on mapping the genome of the notorious "deathnettle", an invasive and - as the name suggests - lethal weed first propagated by the reckless Deep Singer geneticists of the [[Minarboria|Empire of Minarboria]], in an effort to develop a fast acting antidote to the "blood-crystallisation" effect occasioned by even the most fleeting contact by the victim's skin with the trichomes found on the plant's vivid red leaves.<br />
<br />
In 1722 AN, the Jingdaoese biological research unit, '''Unit 666''', was placed under the Ordo Imperiale Decimae and became responsible for both the Microbiological Research Establishment, its research and ongoing biological and chemical programs.<br />

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''ïa Bivarhins Uihmanz'') is an elite branch of the [[Imperial Forces]]. Originally an independent corps of the [[Imperial Army]], it was transformed into a distinct force late in the reign of [[Ayreon IV]].<br />
<br />
The Palatini Corps has ultimate responsibility for the defence of the [[Imperial County]], forming the core of the Central Banner Group of the Benacia Command. It also provides personnel and resource support for various independent-operating state security organizations, namely the [[Order of the Sentinels|Sentinels]] and the [[Chamber of the Crypteia|Crypteia]]. During the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Palatini Corps remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne, consolidating itself and absorbing other loyal Imperial Forces units deployed throughout the Shirekeep region.<br />

<br />
The [[Imperial Forces]] is composed of several military branches, namely the [[Imperial Army (Shireroth)|Imperial Army]] (these days a continuation and expansion of the original [[Palatini Corps]]), the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth]] (INS), the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), the [[Ordo Imperiale Decimae]], the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] and [[Auxiliary Forces (Shireroth)|Auxiliary Forces]]. The nation itself is divided in several military regions, called Departments. Untill the early 18th century, the Forces closely worked together with the [[Raspur Pact]]. Disagreements and potential departure from the Pact, led to hostile actions taken under the leadership of the [[Benacian Union]] against to retrieve military assets. Ever since the [[First Thuylemans Government]], the Forces have been preparing for a potential conflict with its neighbour, which has been seen increasingly as a threat to Shirerithian sovereignty. <br />
<br />
==Recent History==<br />
===Feudal Armies===<br />
The Imperial Forces of Shireroth were once a mighty military force, consisting of three main branches: the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy of Shireroth (INS), and the Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF). With a large population and vast territory, Shireroth was able to boast one of the largest and most powerful armies on Micras during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, the effectiveness of the Imperial Forces was hampered by their reliance on the support of local lords and their feudal armies. Despite their impressive size on paper, internal conflicts and competition for resources made them less formidable in reality. In fact, one of the grievances of the Kildari during the [[Revolution of 1617]] was the lack of faith they had in the ability of the Kaiser and his Imperial Forces to defend the borders against invasions, such as that of the Garllicians.<br />
<br />
In the 17th century, the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] became increasingly important, providing essential logistical support and acting as a reserve of paramilitary militia. However, the Kalirion Fracture devastated the Imperial Forces, reducing them to a small remnant of their former strength. The [[Palatini Corps]] emerged as a replacement for the Imperial Army, but this allowed for an opportunity to reform and modernize the remaining forces. <br />
<br />
===Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth===<br />
The Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth (RPTM-S) was established in 1679 at the initiative of [[Benacia Command]]. The aim of RPTM-S was to assist in the development of Imperial Forces training structures and institutions so that Shireroth could build an effective and sustainable capability that addressed the needs of the Imperial Republic, that would defend its remaining territories against secessionists and which would be able to resist any further efforts at capitulation by the [[Imperial Regency|regency]] in [[Shirekeep]]. RPTM-S was not a combat mission but was a distinct mission, under the political control of the Raspur Pact's Joint Military Council. Its operational emphasis was on training and mentoring. The activities of the mission were coordinated with the Shirerithian Ministry of State, whose minister was the de-facto commander of the Imperial Forces, and the Imperial Advisory Council.<br />
<br />
In 1694 Benacia Command authorised the return of a significant quantity of surplus small arms, rejected by the [[UDF]] for use in the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], to the arsenals of the Imperial Republic. These comprising primarily of:<br />
<br />
{{unbulleted list|243,838x &ndash; M1591 7.62 mm rifles|110,750x &ndash; M1656 9 mm sub-machine gun|80,000x &ndash; M1525 9 mm pistols|79,188x &ndash; M1508 Martini-Rossi 11.56 mm rifles}}<br />
<br />
The weapons would be transferred from the depots of the [[Black Legions]] in the [[Unified Governorates]] to designated arsenals in [[Brookshire]] and the [[Duchy of the Guttuli]] via a series of road convoys that would travel across the UGB, [[Tellia]], [[Sanama]], and [[Drak-Modan]] in order to reach their intended destinations.<br />
<br />
===Salomeid Reforms===<br />
The early 18th century saw a shift towards a more modern approach to warfare, with new equipment, command structures, and organizational strategies being implemented. Many noble armies were disbanded and integrated into the revamped Imperial Forces, including those of Batavia and Jingdao.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Imperial Forces have a distributed structure that relies predominantly on ground combat as a consequence of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and the loss of advanced military hardware and the trained personnel to operate them. At its low point, the [[Palatini Corps]] was the only armed force under Imperial authority. One of the goals of the Thuylemans Cabinets has been to transform the many various semi-compatible organizations along a more streamlined, Imperium-wide plan.<br />

At the operational level, ground combat units are organized into Reinforced Cohorts ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Toißuszoþ Gauht''), a concept adapted from the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Operations|Guttuli Corps]]'s ''Streïkrupp''. As the name suggests, an infantry cohort is reinforced with attached armored reconnaissance, artillery, and engineering maniples. This allows for the application of heavy weapons systems to be more easily available at the tactical level. The commanding officer of the cohort, typically a Mid-Grade Tribune, serves as the commanding officer for the Reinforced Cohort.<br />
<br />
Three Reinforced Cohorts, along with the parent units for their attached combat support as well as additional defensive and logistical support units, are organized into a Battle Command. The Battle Command is expected to be capable of sustained independent operations.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
[[File:Map of Military Departments Shireroth 1730.png|450px|thumb|right|Map of the Military Districts, in the Year 1730 AN.]]<br />
Implemented in {{AN|1724}}, the Imperium is divided into a series of regional military districts, or ''Departments'', to control and administer military installations and units located within their jurisdiction. Regular transfers between the various departments over the next few years allowed for units with vastly different origins and operating principles to learn and train together.<br />

==Ranks==<br />
<br />
As directed by the Ministry of State's Commission for Defence, regular Imperial Forces now operate within a single system of ranks, uniforms, and equipment, in order to sustain interoperability. <br />
<br />
On paper, each regional army maintains its own general staff under the authority of its own ''Master of Soldiers'', who creates field formations, called Associations, over whom he designates a ''Standard''. In actuality, the regional armies have been reduced to a merely administrative role, with each general staff tasked with maintaining supply and training. Associations are created under the direction of, under the authority of an appointee of, and receive strategic direction from the Commissioner for Defence. Associations are composed of units freely shuffled between Associations as necessary to meet Imperial strategic goals with the shortest logistical lines. This arrangement is a systematized form of the previous ad-hoc ''Banners'' placed under the appointed authority of a ''Nypḥyk'u'' ([[Red Laqi language|RL.]] "Standard Bearer"), whose subordinate units were a free mixture of militia, professional, and irregular troops as resources allowed it.<br />
<br />
These changes are reflected in the changes to the rank structure, which no longer distinguishes between 'Spear' and 'Specialist' units, which has condensed the general officer ranks considerably, which has placed significantly larger responsibility upon the Field Officer ranks, and which has seen an expansion of Company-Grade and senior-NCO ranks. Under this new scheme, which has been influenced by its roots in the Brookshire militia and re-educated remnants of the Guttuli Corps, NCOs (or ''Principals'') can seek entry into the Officer Candidate program, receive a commission, and gain access to the higher ranks. The children of nobles have adjusted to this more meritocratic officer recruitment process by sending their children into military academies, so that they may qualify for career acceleration upon entry into the Imperial Forces.<br />

===Specialists===<br />
<br />
After two years of their initial contract, soldiers may apply for specialist training. If accepted, they become a Trainee Specialist under the apprenticeship of a Principal Specialist. Following apprenticeship, certification is required for being assigned a specialist billet. Principal Specialists combine skills specialization with the tasks of organic leadership, discipline, and training.<br />
<br />
Entry into a military academy grants certified specialist status upon completion. The most common military academy is an Officer Candidate School, and is required for receiving an officer commission.<br />

==Term of Service==<br />
<br />
Soldiers join the Imperial Forces under an initial 6-year contract. After completing their initial contract, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a second 4-year contract as a Junior Principal. Thereafter, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a third long-term contract as a Senior Principal.<br />
<br />
Soldiers may be up-contracted before their initial contract has been completed if they are highly qualified, highly specialized, or are certified to fill a role that is in particularly high demand.<br />
<br />
Upon honorable completion of service, an individual is awarded with perpetual status under Grade A and a medallion of service completion, so that denizens without merit may know they are legally obliged to provide a demonstration of respect. Failure to maintain dignity of status may result in revocation one's Grade A status and the destruction of one's medallion.<br />
<br />
==Uniforms==<br />
[[File:ImperialForces 1702AN.png|thumb|right|Uniforms for the Imperial Forces, circa 1702 AN.]]<br />
<br />
In the decades after the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Imperium relied upon irregular forces, local militia, and rehabilitated defeated hostile forces to augment the Palatini Corps, the only components of Benacia Command that had remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne. Beginning in the 1690s, regularization became a priority for the Imperial Commission for Defence. Introduced in 1702 AN, a new set of standardized uniform specifications were established, replacing all previous forms.<br />
<br />
The [[Palatini Corps]] retained a distinct color and cut for its field and service uniforms, and was given permission to continue using its distinct Full Dress uniform, first authorized in 1663 AN, when on ceremonial duty in [[Shirekeep]]. <br />
<br />
====Field Dress====<br />
<br />
Issued to all members of the Imperial Forces, derived from the all-weather utility uniform used by the [[Ŝḥenĉeł'yh]] and adopted by the Brookshire Ducal Army.<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces FieldRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Service Dress====<br />
<br />
Distinct variants for Officers and Principals. Service Dress for Officers and Ordinates is modelled on the pre-Fracture Lancer officer tunic, now applied to all officers irrespective of unit type. Service Dress for other Principals uses the same design as the Field Dress uniform but out of the same fabric and dyes as the Service Dress for Officers. Soldiers are not issued a Service Dress uniform, but may purchase it for non-field duty use when authorized by their commanding officer (e.g. ceremonial duty, parade, court appearance, public-facing offices, etc).<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces ServiceRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Noteworthy Insignia====<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:ImperialForces Gorget.png]]<br />
| Opratzan continue to be awarded a gorget upon ascending to the esteemed rank. A subdued enamel version is issued for field dress in addition to the standard silvery-grey design.<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:CrypteiaButton.png]]<br />
| The Crypteia, due to its longstanding and persistent connection to the Palatini Corps, continues to use PC uniforms -- membership in the Crypteia is only explicitly indicated by the identifying button on the left breast, above service ribbons if worn.<br />

===Imperial Ground Forces===<br />
<br />
[[File:IF 1Leg 1728AN.png|thumb|1. Legio Palatini, a heavy legion first deployed in 1728 AN as part of 1. Corps.]]<br />
<br />
The primary service branch of the Imperial Forces, the Imperial Ground Forces shall be organized into '''Corps''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Uihmanz''). Each Corps shall have the following organic divisions:<br />
* Artillery<br />
* Air Defence<br />
* Aviation<br />
* Operational Support<br />
* Service Support<br />
* Special Operations<br />
<br />
To each combat-ready Corps, there shall be deployed six '''Legions''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Salb''). Legions shall be graded according to their combat role:<br />
* '''Heavy''': armored combined-arms<br />
* '''Medium''': reinforced mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Light''': motorized infantry<br />
* '''Amphibious''': amphibious mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Air Assault''': reinforced helicopter-dropped infantry<br />
* '''Mountain''': light infantry with special training and equipment for high-altitude combat environment<br />
<br />
Additionally, legions identified with the honorary of '''Palatini''' were granted permission to wear uniform variants associated with the Palatini Corps (from whom the new Palatini Legions were derived), as well as the honor of being recruitment pools for ceremonial duty and/or for life guard duty to protect members of the Imperial Family.<br />
<br />
On 1.I.1728, the first such corps, called '''1. Corps''', was stood up and assigned to the Department of the Confluence. It drew soldiers and equipment from the Palatini Corps, Ducal Army of Brookshire, and the Feudatory Host of Kildare.<br />

<br />
The '''Ordo Imperiale Decimae''' (or '''Ordo Imperii Decimæ Divæ''', or '''Imperial order of divine Decima''') is one of the branches of the [[Imperial Forces]] of [[Shireroth]]. It holds responsibility for the strategic defence of the Imperial Republic against nuclear, chemical and biological attacks. Through one of its agencies, the [[Strategic Defence Initiative]], it's also tasked with the defence of the air space and territory of the Imperial Republic against attack by ballistic missiles.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The origins of the Imperial Order lie with the '''Ly'Technomaezji''', a college of Technomages associated with the Imperial Government since the foundation of the Imperial Republic. It maintained a monopoly on advanced technologies within what was still a regressive and feudal society in the wake of the destruction of [[Khaz Modan]]. As a repository of knowledge the Ly'Technomaezji were able to assist the Kaisers in facing down the threats posed by far superior technological civilisations such as those found in the islands of [[Jasonia]].<br />
<br />
The Ly'Technomaezji, over time, divested themselves of the trappings of arcane lore, which became more the preserve of the [[Vigiles Arcani]] and instead cultivated an interest in the application of eschatology and its related sciences as an influencing factor in political decision making.<br />
<br />
After a long internal debate, the order was renamed the '''Ordo Imperii Decimæ Divæ''' (''Imperial order of divine Decima'') in 1651 to better reflect its mission to watch over what remained of humankind's allotted span. It is often now known more simply as the Order of Decima.<br />
<br />
In 1664, [[Michael Verion]], commissioner of the OID, was the victim of an attempted assassination attempt [[Ayreonist Independence Party|Ayreonist radicals]]. In the aftermath of this attack the Order was placed in the custodianship of [[Fra Alfarr bi Uïhsberht]].<br />
<br />
During the early 18th century, [[Unit 666]] was brought under custody of the Order. An ongoing conflict between Shireroth and the Benacian Union, placed greater importance and focus on the expansion of its Strategic Defence Initiative, which was responsible for the protection of the nation's airspace.<br />

===Nuclear Deterrent===<br />
[[Operation Tymarian Sun]] (1641) was the first publicly noted atomic weapons test conducted by the Imperial Republic. Comprised of twin detonations carried out over the island of [[Ura'Bos]] the tests sparked panic in the [[Alexandria|Empire of the Alexandrians]] and prompted international condemnation, whilst at the same time providing evidence of the Imperial Republic's deterrent capabilities in the face of a belligerent and nuclear armed Jingdao.<br />
<br />
The precise details of the Shirerithian nuclear deterrent remain a closely guarded state secret. Statistics provided by the Decimæ are deliberately vague.<br />
<br />
*Fission devices: approx. 300<br />
*Fusion devices: approx. 200<br />
*Matter-antimatter collision devices: Two known<br />
<br />
The thermonuclear warheads of the Decimæ are believed to have been adapted to fit within the multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV) of the Imperial Navy's ballistic missile submarine.<br />
<br />
The matter-antimatter collision devices were both reported to be on loan from the [[Natopian Defense Force|Natopian Aerospace Command]] under the auspices of the Raspur Pact for research purposes. Their use accordingly is prohibited without the permission of the Joint Military Council. In 1724 AN, during [[Operation Jagdbeute]], Benacian operatives tried to gain access to the facilities holding these devices. They were foiled in their action thanks to [[Operation Sciurusque]].<br />
<br />
==Chemical, Biological and Radiological Programmes==<br />
The Imperial Republic's biological warfare program was scrapped in 1658 following the decision to adhere to the ''Zaele Protocol'' on the prohibition of such weapons, as a gesture of good faith to [[Caputia]] and the Non-Aligned Movement during the period of heightened global tension occasioned by the [[Sxiro-Jingdaoese Confrontation#War of Lost Brothers|War of Lost Brothers]]. Nonetheless, it remains that the OID continued to operate the [[Microbiological Research Establishment]] (MRE) for the purpose of developing countermeasures to the biological toxins and infectious agents developed by the [[Kalgachia|Kalgachi]] and [[Nova England|Nova English]] alliance as well as a contingency against the future re-emergence of a pandemic on the scale of the so-called ''[[Alexandrian Flu]]''.<br />
<br />
The MRE was also reported to be working on mapping the genome of the notorious "deathnettle", an invasive and - as the name suggests - lethal weed first propagated by the reckless Deep Singer geneticists of the [[Minarboria|Empire of Minarboria]], in an effort to develop a fast acting antidote to the "blood-crystallisation" effect occasioned by even the most fleeting contact by the victim's skin with the trichomes found on the plant's vivid red leaves.<br />
<br />
In 1722 AN, the Jingdaoese biological research unit, '''Unit 666''', was placed under the Ordo Imperiale Decimae and became responsible for both the Microbiological Research Establishment, its research and ongoing biological and chemical programs.<br />

<br />
The [[Imperial Forces]] is composed of several military branches, namely the [[Imperial Army (Shireroth)|Imperial Army]] (these days a continuation and expansion of the original [[Palatini Corps]]), the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth]] (INS), the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), the [[Ordo Imperiale Decimae]], the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] and [[Auxiliary Forces (Shireroth)|Auxiliary Forces]]. The nation itself is divided in several military regions, called Departments. Untill the early 18th century, the Forces closely worked together with the [[Raspur Pact]]. Disagreements and potential departure from the Pact, led to hostile actions taken under the leadership of the [[Benacian Union]] against to retrieve military assets. Ever since the [[First Thuylemans Government]], the Forces have been preparing for a potential conflict with its neighbour, which has been seen increasingly as a threat to Shirerithian sovereignty. <br />
<br />
==Recent History==<br />
===Feudal Armies===<br />
The Imperial Forces of Shireroth were once a mighty military force, consisting of three main branches: the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy of Shireroth (INS), and the Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF). With a large population and vast territory, Shireroth was able to boast one of the largest and most powerful armies on Micras during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, the effectiveness of the Imperial Forces was hampered by their reliance on the support of local lords and their feudal armies. Despite their impressive size on paper, internal conflicts and competition for resources made them less formidable in reality. In fact, one of the grievances of the Kildari during the [[Revolution of 1617]] was the lack of faith they had in the ability of the Kaiser and his Imperial Forces to defend the borders against invasions, such as that of the Garllicians.<br />
<br />
In the 17th century, the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] became increasingly important, providing essential logistical support and acting as a reserve of paramilitary militia. However, the Kalirion Fracture devastated the Imperial Forces, reducing them to a small remnant of their former strength. The [[Palatini Corps]] emerged as a replacement for the Imperial Army, but this allowed for an opportunity to reform and modernize the remaining forces. <br />
<br />
===Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth===<br />
The Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth (RPTM-S) was established in 1679 at the initiative of [[Benacia Command]]. The aim of RPTM-S was to assist in the development of Imperial Forces training structures and institutions so that Shireroth could build an effective and sustainable capability that addressed the needs of the Imperial Republic, that would defend its remaining territories against secessionists and which would be able to resist any further efforts at capitulation by the [[Imperial Regency|regency]] in [[Shirekeep]]. RPTM-S was not a combat mission but was a distinct mission, under the political control of the Raspur Pact's Joint Military Council. Its operational emphasis was on training and mentoring. The activities of the mission were coordinated with the Shirerithian Ministry of State, whose minister was the de-facto commander of the Imperial Forces, and the Imperial Advisory Council.<br />
<br />
In 1694 Benacia Command authorised the return of a significant quantity of surplus small arms, rejected by the [[UDF]] for use in the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], to the arsenals of the Imperial Republic. These comprising primarily of:<br />
<br />
{{unbulleted list|243,838x &ndash; M1591 7.62 mm rifles|110,750x &ndash; M1656 9 mm sub-machine gun|80,000x &ndash; M1525 9 mm pistols|79,188x &ndash; M1508 Martini-Rossi 11.56 mm rifles}}<br />
<br />
The weapons would be transferred from the depots of the [[Black Legions]] in the [[Unified Governorates]] to designated arsenals in [[Brookshire]] and the [[Duchy of the Guttuli]] via a series of road convoys that would travel across the UGB, [[Tellia]], [[Sanama]], and [[Drak-Modan]] in order to reach their intended destinations.<br />
<br />
===Salomeid Reforms===<br />
The early 18th century saw a shift towards a more modern approach to warfare, with new equipment, command structures, and organizational strategies being implemented. Many noble armies were disbanded and integrated into the revamped Imperial Forces, including those of Batavia and Jingdao.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Imperial Forces have a distributed structure that relies predominantly on ground combat as a consequence of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and the loss of advanced military hardware and the trained personnel to operate them. At its low point, the [[Palatini Corps]] was the only armed force under Imperial authority. One of the goals of the Thuylemans Cabinets has been to transform the many various semi-compatible organizations along a more streamlined, Imperium-wide plan.<br />

At the operational level, ground combat units are organized into Reinforced Cohorts ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Toißuszoþ Gauht''), a concept adapted from the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Operations|Guttuli Corps]]'s ''Streïkrupp''. As the name suggests, an infantry cohort is reinforced with attached armored reconnaissance, artillery, and engineering maniples. This allows for the application of heavy weapons systems to be more easily available at the tactical level. The commanding officer of the cohort, typically a Mid-Grade Tribune, serves as the commanding officer for the Reinforced Cohort.<br />
<br />
Three Reinforced Cohorts, along with the parent units for their attached combat support as well as additional defensive and logistical support units, are organized into a Battle Command. The Battle Command is expected to be capable of sustained independent operations.<br />

===Departments===<br />
[[File:Map of Military Departments Shireroth 1730.png|450px|thumb|right|Map of the Military Districts, in the Year 1730 AN.]]<br />
Implemented in {{AN|1724}}, the Imperium is divided into a series of regional military districts, or ''Departments'', to control and administer military installations and units located within their jurisdiction. Regular transfers between the various departments over the next few years allowed for units with vastly different origins and operating principles to learn and train together.<br />

==Ranks==<br />
<br />
As directed by the Ministry of State's Commission for Defence, regular Imperial Forces now operate within a single system of ranks, uniforms, and equipment, in order to sustain interoperability. <br />
<br />
On paper, each regional army maintains its own general staff under the authority of its own ''Master of Soldiers'', who creates field formations, called Associations, over whom he designates a ''Standard''. In actuality, the regional armies have been reduced to a merely administrative role, with each general staff tasked with maintaining supply and training. Associations are created under the direction of, under the authority of an appointee of, and receive strategic direction from the Commissioner for Defence. Associations are composed of units freely shuffled between Associations as necessary to meet Imperial strategic goals with the shortest logistical lines. This arrangement is a systematized form of the previous ad-hoc ''Banners'' placed under the appointed authority of a ''Nypḥyk'u'' ([[Red Laqi language|RL.]] "Standard Bearer"), whose subordinate units were a free mixture of militia, professional, and irregular troops as resources allowed it.<br />
<br />
These changes are reflected in the changes to the rank structure, which no longer distinguishes between 'Spear' and 'Specialist' units, which has condensed the general officer ranks considerably, which has placed significantly larger responsibility upon the Field Officer ranks, and which has seen an expansion of Company-Grade and senior-NCO ranks. Under this new scheme, which has been influenced by its roots in the Brookshire militia and re-educated remnants of the Guttuli Corps, NCOs (or ''Principals'') can seek entry into the Officer Candidate program, receive a commission, and gain access to the higher ranks. The children of nobles have adjusted to this more meritocratic officer recruitment process by sending their children into military academies, so that they may qualify for career acceleration upon entry into the Imperial Forces.<br />

===Specialists===<br />
<br />
After two years of their initial contract, soldiers may apply for specialist training. If accepted, they become a Trainee Specialist under the apprenticeship of a Principal Specialist. Following apprenticeship, certification is required for being assigned a specialist billet. Principal Specialists combine skills specialization with the tasks of organic leadership, discipline, and training.<br />
<br />
Entry into a military academy grants certified specialist status upon completion. The most common military academy is an Officer Candidate School, and is required for receiving an officer commission.<br />

==Term of Service==<br />
<br />
Soldiers join the Imperial Forces under an initial 6-year contract. After completing their initial contract, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a second 4-year contract as a Junior Principal. Thereafter, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a third long-term contract as a Senior Principal.<br />
<br />
Soldiers may be up-contracted before their initial contract has been completed if they are highly qualified, highly specialized, or are certified to fill a role that is in particularly high demand.<br />
<br />
Upon honorable completion of service, an individual is awarded with perpetual status under Grade A and a medallion of service completion, so that denizens without merit may know they are legally obliged to provide a demonstration of respect. Failure to maintain dignity of status may result in revocation one's Grade A status and the destruction of one's medallion.<br />
<br />
==Uniforms==<br />
[[File:ImperialForces 1702AN.png|thumb|right|Uniforms for the Imperial Forces, circa 1702 AN.]]<br />
<br />
In the decades after the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Imperium relied upon irregular forces, local militia, and rehabilitated defeated hostile forces to augment the Palatini Corps, the only components of Benacia Command that had remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne. Beginning in the 1690s, regularization became a priority for the Imperial Commission for Defence. Introduced in 1702 AN, a new set of standardized uniform specifications were established, replacing all previous forms.<br />
<br />
The [[Palatini Corps]] retained a distinct color and cut for its field and service uniforms, and was given permission to continue using its distinct Full Dress uniform, first authorized in 1663 AN, when on ceremonial duty in [[Shirekeep]]. <br />
<br />
====Field Dress====<br />
<br />
Issued to all members of the Imperial Forces, derived from the all-weather utility uniform used by the [[Ŝḥenĉeł'yh]] and adopted by the Brookshire Ducal Army.<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces FieldRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Service Dress====<br />
<br />
Distinct variants for Officers and Principals. Service Dress for Officers and Ordinates is modelled on the pre-Fracture Lancer officer tunic, now applied to all officers irrespective of unit type. Service Dress for other Principals uses the same design as the Field Dress uniform but out of the same fabric and dyes as the Service Dress for Officers. Soldiers are not issued a Service Dress uniform, but may purchase it for non-field duty use when authorized by their commanding officer (e.g. ceremonial duty, parade, court appearance, public-facing offices, etc).<br />
<br />

<br />
====Noteworthy Insignia====<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:ImperialForces Gorget.png]]<br />
| Opratzan continue to be awarded a gorget upon ascending to the esteemed rank. A subdued enamel version is issued for field dress in addition to the standard silvery-grey design.<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:CrypteiaButton.png]]<br />
| The Crypteia, due to its longstanding and persistent connection to the Palatini Corps, continues to use PC uniforms -- membership in the Crypteia is only explicitly indicated by the identifying button on the left breast, above service ribbons if worn.<br />

===Imperial Ground Forces===<br />
<br />
[[File:IF 1Leg 1728AN.png|thumb|1. Legio Palatini, a heavy legion first deployed in 1728 AN as part of 1. Corps.]]<br />
<br />
The primary service branch of the Imperial Forces, the Imperial Ground Forces shall be organized into '''Corps''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Uihmanz''). Each Corps shall have the following organic divisions:<br />
* Artillery<br />
* Air Defence<br />
* Aviation<br />
* Operational Support<br />
* Service Support<br />
* Special Operations<br />
<br />
To each combat-ready Corps, there shall be deployed six '''Legions''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Salb''). Legions shall be graded according to their combat role:<br />
* '''Heavy''': armored combined-arms<br />
* '''Medium''': reinforced mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Light''': motorized infantry<br />
* '''Amphibious''': amphibious mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Air Assault''': reinforced helicopter-dropped infantry<br />
* '''Mountain''': light infantry with special training and equipment for high-altitude combat environment<br />
<br />
Additionally, legions identified with the honorary of '''Palatini''' were granted permission to wear uniform variants associated with the Palatini Corps (from whom the new Palatini Legions were derived), as well as the honor of being recruitment pools for ceremonial duty and/or for life guard duty to protect members of the Imperial Family.<br />
<br />
On 1.I.1728, the first such corps, called '''1. Corps''', was stood up and assigned to the Department of the Confluence. It drew soldiers and equipment from the Palatini Corps, Ducal Army of Brookshire, and the Feudatory Host of Kildare.<br />

<div>The '''Duchy of Jingdao''' is a subdivision within the [[Shireroth|Imperial Republic of Shireroth]], consisting of two distinct regions: the province of [[Dazijin]] and the [[Far Eastern Territory]] in the [[Antican Sea]]. The name ''Jingdao'' pays homage to the [[Great Jing Dynasty]], which ruled the [[Greater Kildare|Greater Kildarian region]] from 1623 to 1700 AN. The duchy's subdivisions are overseen by governors appointed directly by the Heavenly Light, reflecting the region's historical and religious significance to the ethnic Jing population.<br />
<br />
The Duchy of Jingdao plays a vital role in Shireroth's political landscape, especially for its eastern territories, serving as a center of religious and cultural authority for the ethnic Jing population. The region's rich history and spiritual significance make it a source of pride for its residents, who continue to uphold their traditions and customs while actively participating in the broader Shirerithian society.<br />
<br />
==Provinces==<br />
''Dazijin'', the first province of the Duchy, is divided into two sub-districts: Zijin and Zijinlin. Zijin is home to the former Heavenly Capital of Daocheng, where the Palace of the Heavenly Light is situated. Additionally, the district of Zijinlin contains the revered Heavenly Tombs, a site of great spiritual importance to the Jing people.<br />
<br />
The second district, the ''Far Eastern Territory'', holds significant strategic value due to its location in the Antican Sea. Prior to the Greater Jing Dynasty's annexation of Kildarian territories in the early 17th century (after Kildare had gained independence from Shireroth during the [[Revolution of 1617]]), the Far Eastern Territory served as a crucial base for Jing operations. Today, it remains an essential component of the Duchy of Jingdao, and is seen as important part of Jing's cultural identity.<br />

<div>The '''County of Cameleo''' is a small territorial division on [[Apollonia]] within the [[Shireroth|Imperial Republic of Shireroth]]. Located at the mouth of the [[Camoleo River]], the county owes its name to the river, which is named after the local dialect spoken by the tribesmen who settled in the region. The territory of Cameleo consists of the territorial remnants of [[Qyzylqaystan]], a region that defied the [[Treaty of Gaelen's Landing]] in 1707 AN and chose to remain loyal to the Shirerithian throne (or was threatened into remaining loyal by the nearby [[Jinkeai]] garrisons, due to its strategic location).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===The Jingdaoese 17th century===<br />
<br />
<br />
The history of Cameleo dates back to the days of [[Jingdao]]ese east- and northwards expansion during the 17th century, when their empire sought to extend its boundaries beyond the original Kildarian territories of [[Shireroth]]. As the Shirerithian armies ventured further afield, they encountered various tribes and nations, some of whom resisted integration into the empire. One such tribe was the Qyzyl, a fierce and proud people who lived. Despite their initial reluctance, the Qyzyl eventually agreed to swear fealty to the Jingdaoese throne, becoming one of the most important tribes to do so.<br />
<br />
Over time, the Qyzyl proved themselves to be valuable subjects of the empire, contributing significantly to its growth and prosperity. They were skilled warriors, adept at fighting in the rugged terrain of Central Apollonia, and their knowledge of the land made them valuable allies in the region. As a result, the Jingdaoese government saw fit to grant them a measure of autonomy, allowing them to maintain their traditional way of life while still acknowledging the authority of the Heavenly Throne.<br />
<br />
However, not all Qyzyl were content with this arrangement. Some felt that their cultural identity was threatened by the encroachment of Jingdaoese influences, and they longed for greater freedom from the empire's grasp. These sentiments first culminated in the establishment of the [[Qyzyl People's Republic]] in 1704 AN during the [[Second Kildarian Revolution]]. With the fall of its parent nation and overlord, the Democratic Apollonian Republic of Kildare, in 1707 AN, new Qyzylqaystani rebellions broke out, shortly after the signing of the [[Treaty of Gaelen's Landing]]. Attempts to brutally suppress the rebellion by the newly-established Shirerithian authorities in the region failed. An evacuation of thousands of loyalists was organised, towards the Camoleo River area.<br />

The '''Audente Confederation''', also known as the '''Ducal Confederation of Audentior''' or simply the '''Duchy of Audentior''', is a territory within the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. It emerged in 1715 AN after a conflict between the Duke of Raynor's Isles on one side and and the Viceroy of Hondon and Duchess of Outer Antya on the other side. This event marked the end of the Feudatory Feud and led to the consolidation of two duchies into one. The name Audentior has roots in the area's rich history, being linked to the ancient Apollantis and Audentior Independent Nation (which was both an independent empire and later a province of the [[Apollonian Republic]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
Let it be clear that the research into the history of Audentior, just like other parts of Greater Kildare, has been heavily influenced by the [[Greater Jing School]]: where the Kildari of old meticulously gathered their sources, wrote them down and eagerly awaited answers from the God [[Sakat]], many of those practices were replaced in favour of a more chauvinist and jingdaoified version of history during the 17th century. <br />
<br />
Whatever may have happened, the history of Audentior can be traced back to the '''early beginnings of modern civilisation on Micras'''. The old Duchy of Kildare called itself 'Birthplace of Modern Civilisation' with a reason, as it was an established fact that the region had known civilisation which preceded that of their conquerors, the Shirerithians. <br />
<br />
The fertile lands of the ''Hondon region'' around [[Xiacheng]] (Apollo City) provided favorable living conditions. It was here that '''around 1500bAN''' the first nomads settled as farmers, near the mouth of the [[Antya River]]. Its population grew and with domestication of grain and animals eventually came the first cities. The city of Xiacheng successfully challenged the other towns for hegemony, leading to the creation of the first nation in Micras' history: the so-called [[Empire of the Glorious Sun]].<br />
<br />
'''During the 4th century bAN''', a mythological emperor of Jingdaoese descent would have united eight tribes, which had been living at the periphery of the Hondon region. This warlord, later known as the [[Ying Emperor]] used the dissatisfaction of the populace and tribal people to march onto Xiacheng and carve out an empire of his own. This ''Empire of the Pure Path'', divided into a [[Zuxiang Dynasty]] (351 bAN - 264 AN) and [[Wangzi Dynasty]] (265 - 987 AN), would expand across the coastline and Antya River. <br />
<br />
While many historians are doubtful about precise details and even openly started criticizing the existence of a Jingdaoese line of emperors, they agree that it overlapses with the migration of several tribes to other territories (even going as far as the Isle of Melangia). Batavian historical texts, about the migration of Batavian ancestors from the far east (the Antya River region) to their current homelands in Batavia, coincide with this time period. A religious scripture about the [[Tower of Airosamente]], in which the overconfident people from Xiacheng (Airosamente back in those days) constructed a huge tower to honour the emperor and their gods. The Tower eventually bled the empire economically dry, leading to its collapse: one wonders if this was the cataclysm which led to the replacement of the Zuxiang Dynasty with the Wangzi Dynasty in 265 AN. In turn it would have explained the sudden migrations.<br />
<br />
'''The 10th century AN''' saw a definitive fracturing of a centralised empire into minor warring states. It's the start of what Shirerithian experts describe as the beginning of the Apollonian states. The Greater Jing scholars refer to it as the Youya Dynasty (despite lacking a 'dynasty' to rule it properly). The Union of Apollo States was established in 1450 AN, which brought a semblance of unity to the region: by now, the Apollonian peoples governed lands which stretched to the current-day northern borders of [[Dalmacija]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Battle of Jasoniacheng.png|400px|thumb|right|In 1451 AN, Kaiser Gaelen confronted and defeated the Apollonian troops in the [[Battle of Jasoniacheng]]. The Apollonian side was led by the so-called ''Taiyang Emperor'' (a name posthumously granted to him by Jing scholars), who lost his life in a cavalry charge.]]<br />
The Union was shortlived, as [[Kaiser Gaelen I]] swiftly crushed any Apollonian armies and resistance. '''In 1451 AN''' he landed on the coast, near [[Gaelen's Landing]] and subdued the people he came across with. From 1451 to 1623 AN, the territories became part of the Imperial Republic. However, the overextended armies of Shireroth failed to permanently hold Xiacheng and the surrounding region. The Seanad (or whatever was left of it in those chaotic days) of the Union of Apollo States, surrendered the lands west of the Antya River to the Kaiser. Confonted with resistance in the north, Gaelen accepted. But not without assuring that resistance in Audentior was properly broken. Several punitive expeditions were undertaken by Shirerithian forces, to avoid a resurgence of Apollonian resistance. The lands east of the Antya River remained free from Shirerithian influence, with exception of the Raynor's Isles, but any central authority collapsed and what once was the largest city of the world, was diminished to the a meagre shadow of itself.<br />
<br />
It was only '''in 1542 AN''', during the reign of Dutch Jonas the First and the ongoing [[Gong Li Rebellion]], that a massive ducal army was routed eastwards to establish a proper training ground for the Ducal Armies in the fight against the rebellious Baron [[Andreas the Wise|Andreas of Atterock]]. Dutch Jonas invaded the region surrounding Xiacheng, strengthening his position over the Antya River. By taking the prestigious city of Xiacheng, he had hoped to gain support against his rebellious feudal lords. A truce followed, with Audentior now in hands of the Kildarian Dutchy.<br />
<br />
[[File:Industry ARSE.png|thumb|left|In less than 60 years, Xiacheng had been re-established as the industrial powerhouse of Kildare. While large parts of the Dutchy had remained relatively untouched by industrialisation, the Hondon region had developed the industry which proved a necessity in the struggle for their independence.]]<br />
The dominance of the Shirerithians over Audentior ended as quickly as it had been established. The outbreak of a rebellion, '''the [[Revolution of 1617]]''', against the Shirerithian overlordship brought an end to interference of Shirekeep in the region. The House of Myksos, which had centralised power in Audentior, had established an excellent staging ground for a coup. An Apollonian Republic was established, which would continue for six years, until it would fall at the hands of the Jingdaoese. The Great Jing would govern Audentior for the next century.<br />
<br />
'''In 1707 AN''', the [[Treaty of Gaelen's Landing]] brought Audentior and former Kildarian counties back into the fold. But - despite the wishes of the Shirerithians - society had moved on and had been transformed under the Jing dominance.<br />
<br />
With the introduction of noble titles and redrafting the internal borders, several warlords, generals and politicians whom claimed a noble title began to clash. With central authority slowly eroding, border conflicts became common place. Eventually, in 1715 AN, the Duchies of [[Raynor's Isles]] and [[Hondon]] clashed violently after a pub brawl. Outer Antya, administered by the spouse of Hondonese Duke Hon ben Gyoku, sent reinforcements to support the Hondonese. The Shirerithian [[Apollonia Command]] reacted by instating a no-fly zone and threat of intervening with troops from the Benacian territories (out of fear of mutiny among the 230th Army and 231st Army, of whom most soldiers came from the inflicted regions and could hold allegiances towards the Dukes) The Outer Antyan Duke, Hon ben Gyoku, eventually was victorious during this short [[Feudatory Feud]]. He united the Provinces of Xianxia, Mengtian, Hondon and Raynor's Isles in one Duchy. As sign of reconciliation, the Duke of the Raynor's Isles retained his Ducal title and seat in the Landsraad.<br />
<br />
=Geography=<br />
Audentior consists of three geographically very distinct parts, as it stretches from the mountainious [[Xianxia]] and [[Mengtian]] Provinces to the fertile Hondon basin. The river with its tributaries have been of utmost importance to the local population, which depends on it for agriculture. Some of the largest cities of Shireroth are located in this region, like Xiacheng and Kaimingcheng. The city of [[Gangdiguo]], while not part of Audentior, is heavily tied to it through the [[Alashuizamen Sluices]].<br />
<br />
Xianxia and Mengtian are well-known for their canyons and mountains, which have protected the Audente territory for many centuries against tribal invaders.<br />
<br />
The [[Antya River]] forms its westernmost border with the [[Dutchy of Kildare]], while its mountain ranges separates it from both the Qyzyl hinterland and Florian menace to the east. Its third border, the Shire Sea and [[Carama Bay]] protect the Duchy from the south. Due to the proximity with the sea, the people of the Province of Raynor Isles (Liao, in Jingdaoese), live a harsh life as fishers.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Thuylemans Government.png|350px|thumb|right|The Thuylemans Government during the first meeting between Ministers.]]<br />
The '''Thuylemans Government''' was the cabinet of [[Shireroth]] under Steward [[Louis Thuylemans]]. It was formed in the aftermath of the [[1717 Shirerithian general elections]] as a coalition between the Thuylemans' [[Ultraroyalisten|Ultraroyalist Party]], the [[Mango-Strengthening Movement]], the [[Association of Loyalists to the Throne]], the [[Reform Society]], the [[National Development Party of Talenore]], the [[Conservative Monarchist Party]] and the [[Imperial Democratic Party]]. The administration was preceded by the [[Imperial Decrees (Shireroth)/Wythe III Government|Third Wythe Cabinet]] and was succeeded by [[Second Thuylemans Government|Thuylemans' second cabinet]] in 1724.<br />
<br />
To avoid the dominance of the [[Eastern Imperium]]'s politicians, the relatively gray mouse, Louis Thuylemans, was chosen as Steward. From the start, the Steward faced the tough challenge of holding together a coalition of widely divergent parties. The slogan ''"Centralize The Empire, Enrichen The People"'' became a common slogan among several ministers and MPs, but led to an early rift with the more reactionary forces within the coalition. Particularly the [[Verionism|Verionist]] wing of the MSM had proven itself a vocal champion of far-reaching strengthening of the position of Shirekeep and the Golden Mango Throne.<br />
<br />
==Ministers==<br />
*Imperial Decree: ''[[Imperial Decrees (Shireroth)/Thuylemans Government|Appointment of the Thuylemans Government]]''<br />
<br />
==Coalition agreement==<br />
<div style="margin: auto; width: 50%; padding: 2em 5em; box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px #000, 0 0 0 4px #FC0; font-size: small; font-family: serif"><br />
The Mango-Strengthening Movement, Association of Loyalists to the Throne, Imperial Democratic Party, Reform Society, Ultraroyalists, Conservative-Monarchist Party, National Development Party and Passibelend have come to agreement to form a new cabinet and grant support to Louis Thuylemans as Steward of the Imperial Government, with the grace of the Gods and Kaiseress Salome.<br />
<br />
===Kaiseress above all===<br />
The Kaiseress is the cornerstone of our society. The Kaisership, which dates back to the first century is of great importance to our culture and political system. Under the current dynasty there is great stability, which our people need. This government therefore sees it as its core task to maintain and strengthen the power of the Golden Mango Throne through the centralization of power in Shirekeep, and support of the Ayreon-Kalirion dynasty to which the Throne belongs.<br />
<br />
===Self-sustainability in all areas===<br />
*Industry: Our industry is currently far too dependent on foreign powers. Foreign companies, whether from allies or neutral countries, should not dominate our economy.<br />
More than a billion denizens belong to this empire: we have the manpower, know-how and resources to stand on our own two feet again. The government will come up with a plan whereby the influx of new tax money will be used to stimulate our companies through subsidies. Important industry will be partly nationalized.<br />
<br />
*Agriculture: The addition of the kingdom of Batavia and Greater Kildare gives us access to two new granaries. The production quota of the Antyan valley should be steadily increased. Smaller farms will be grouped together to coordinate production where necessary.<br />
<br />
*Defence: The army is having growing pains. Due to the rapid expansion of our empire, we currently do not have enough soldiers to protect our outer borders. The morale (and loyalty) of the soldiers from the integrated areas also leaves much to be desired. <br />
**New military academies should be established, <br />
**The Young Wandering Society should be reformed and encourage youth to serve the Empire,<br />
**Imperial Customs should be established to take over some of the duties of the military at the frontiers.<br />
**Our fleet and arms industry are also in need of renewal and expansion. By 1723 [comment: five-year plans über alles] AN we wish to will have doubled our fleet again so that our coasts and seas can be properly protected. A plan must be worked out to turn our fleet into a blue water navy again in the mid-long term.<br />
<br />
*The integration of organizations such as Tegong (secret police) are important for our state security. Simultaneously, SHINE must be reactivated as an intelligence service. In both Greater Kildare and Batavia, police services should be further integrated into the Imperial Marshals and Imperial Constabulary. The inner workings of the Shirekeep City Guard are an example of excellent police work. A commission should investigate the possibility to introduce their system in other regions<br />
<br />
===Further integration of West and East===<br />
We face a huge challenge to unite the territories in the West and East. Political cooperation is important, but so is cultural and spiritual cooperation.<br />
*In order to stimulate cooperation, we will focus on integrating institutions in the coming years (the Holy Catologian Church, Tianchaodao, Tegong, Young Wandering Society, the bureaucracy, old armies and navies,…). <br />
*Exchange projects between school-going youth should reinforce the sense that everyone, regardless of social status, ethnicity, religion, place of birth or upbringing, and so on, belongs to a Shirerithian nationality.<br />
*TV broadcasts and films should be aimed at strengthening patriotism among the population. A new national broadcasting company needs to be established focused on all kinds of audiences.<br />
*A Shirerithian Fair will be hosted across the Imperial Republic to showcase the marvels of our ingenuity: exhibitions will be held in the largest cities (Shirekeep, Daocheng and ‘s Koningenwaarde and several others) to celebrate Kaiseress Salome and our industrial and social progress.<br />
<br />
===End to warlordism===<br />
The Eastern Empire has recently been plagued by warlordism. This scourge, which is weakening the nation, must be eradicated. The Ministry for the Imperium in Apollonia therefore receives our approval and support to crack down on potential betrayals.<br />
<br />
===Denizens' rights===<br />
Every resident who does not belong to the nobility or denizen A or denizen B rank rightly has no voice in our political system. However, with about 40% of our population excluded from any political participation, we are aware that this can lead to unrest disappointment among the categories C and D.<br />
*There ought to be legal limits to the period of service in which an honourable denizen might be bound by a lawful contract that restricts their freedom; and avenues for such denizens to be relieved of such lawful contract, even when the noble in charge of their care might disagree to such relief. We will make reviews on such legislation.<br />
*Only people who have broken the law, and by order of the Judex, has been found to be without honour, might be henceforth be transferred to the class of denizens who are unfree and lack honour. We will implement avenues for denizens under this class to regain their honour (or, if they have never had honour, gain it).<br />
<br />
===Bread and Poor Laws===<br />
With the expansion of our granaries, the price of grain, potatoes, milk and bread will fall. This government sees it as its task to provide the poorest among us with a minimum ration of grain, potatoes, milk, and bread. The opening of new poor houses in every major city should help in sheltering the homeless.<br />
<br />
===Division of ministers and commissioners===<br />
Agreed that half of all ministers and commissioners will be taken from the Adelsraad (or Landsraad) and half from the Folksraad. The division shall be as follows:<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
! !! Adelsraad !! Folksraad !! Total<br />

<br />
==Achievements==<br />
The Thuylemans Government placed a heavy focus on five years plans and new laws:<br />
*''[[Integration of the Western and Eastern Economies and Currency Act]]'': At the start of the tenure, a large amount of currencies were used throughout the country. In remote areas, many had even relied on a barter system. The Erb was recognised as sole acceptable currency within the Empire's borders, while the local and nations Mints and banks were ordered to prepare the exchange of old currency to Erbs at a favorable rate.<br />
*''[[National Industrial Nurturing of the Economy]]'' (NINE): Five year plan to make Shirerithian industry more self-reliant by 1723 AN. The plan focused on heavy industry (armament and shipbuilding industries), agricultural development and scientific research.<br />
*The ''[[Shirerithian Hegemony Implementation Plan]]'' (SHIP): A reform of the Armed Forces began in 1718 AN with the expansion of the landforces. New ships were purchased for the Fleet, while older ships were redesigned. Plans to expand the Airforce took shape in 1723 AN, with the [[Floria–Shireroth diplomatic conflict]]. Precedence was given to the purchase of ships and aircrafts which were manufactured in the Imperial Republic.<br />
*''[[State Schooling and Curriculum Act]]'' (1722 AN): the reform of educational institution and the national curriculum. A heavy focus on learning Praeta and Istvanistani, the imperial history and indoctrination of the pupil into becoming a hardworking citizen of Shireroth. Establishment of state schools throughout the Dominions were planned to follow between 1723 AN and 1728 AN.<br />

'''We, the representatives of the Mango-Strengthening Movement, Vanguard for National Reawakening, National Movement of Human Ecologists, the Throne Loyalists, the National Development Party, Passibelend and Ultra-Royalist Party hereby agree to work together to advance the wellbeing and prosperity of our nation. We understand that unity and cooperation are essential for achieving our goals and ensuring the safety and stability of our homeland. Therefore we grant support to Louis Thuylemans as Steward of the Imperial Government, with the grace of the Gods and Kaiseress Salome.<br />
<br />
We believe in, and will uphold, the freedom of the Shirithian. Each denizen shall be entitled to the unalienable rights of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and the protection of life and property.'''<br />
<br />
===Article I - Free Trade===<br />
We strongly believe in free trade and free enterprise as the primary cause of wealth creation and economic development. We commit to seeking agreements that promote free trade with nations inside and outside the Raspur Pact. These treaties will help us grow our economy and increase our international standing, while giving us back the ownership over what crosses our borders. We want to establish trade treaties with new and old friends by signing new trade treaties. <br />
<br />
===Article II - Industrialization and Modernization===<br />
To strengthen our nation's economy, we will use subsidies and tax reductions to stimulate further industrialization and modernization of existing industries like agriculture, as well as developing new ones. This will create jobs and drive technological advancements that benefit our citizens. Incentives will be implemented to encourage private industry to increase workforce self-management, representation, and ownership.<br />
<br />
===Article III - Reformed Imperial Forces===<br />
We recognize the need to update and modernize our military forces. We will focus on expanding and modernizing our army into smaller, more specialized units capable of operating independently. This will replace the current reliance on mass assaults and sacrificing our soldiers as cannon fodder, as old pre-Fracture doctrine dictates. <br />
Additionally, we will reform the militia into a professional force comprised of various departments including fire protection, medical aid and rescue, order enforcement, criminal investigation, and wildlife management. Each department will have a mix of career and conscript components to ensure expertise and numerical strength.<br />
<br />
===Article IV - International Relations===<br />
We strive for better relations with other nations to prevent external influences over our internal affairs. We will seek to conduct military exercises with the Sanaman army to maintain peace on our continent without compromising our domestic security.<br />
<br />
===Article V - Neutral Stance===<br />
The past has created a divide between Shirerithians and the Raspur Pact. We harbor no animosity toward the allied nations, but will withdraw active participation from the Raspur Pact's military. To achieve our military modernization scheme, we shall leave the Raspur Pact Joint Military Council and no longer contribute towards the Raspur Pact Theatre Commands.<br />
<br />
===Article VI - Foreign Troops===<br />
We believe it is crucial to prioritize the safety and security of our citizens above any potential benefits of hosting foreign troops. Therefore, we will not allow any foreign troops onto our soil without explicit approval from the administration. Our military installations and knowledge will also be shared only with express permission from the government.<br />
<br />
===Article VII – Missile defense===<br />
Our nation is dedicated to preventing global catastrophes by maintaining a strong, mobile and adaptable missile defense system capable of neutralizing incoming threats. We recognize the importance of diplomacy and peaceful resolutions in resolving conflicts and avoiding nuclear warfare.<br />
<br />
===Article VIII - National Curriculum Reform===<br />
As part of our efforts to improve access to quality education across the country, we will revamp the school curricula to include courses focused on Shirerithian history and culture. Students will learn about the diverse cultures within our borders, highlighting similarities and differences between groups such as Batavians, Brookshirians, Jingdaoese, Kildari, etc. Emphasis should be placed on identifying elements that bind these communities together rather than driving wedges between them.<br />
<br />
New schools will be established across the country to promote these reforms and bring progress to even the smallest of towns.<br />
<br />
===Article IX – Electricity needs===<br />
With improvement of the living standard of our common people and the expanding industrial complexes, power needs keep growing. We shall promote an aggressive expansion in nuclear and hydroelectric power to meet rising electricity expectations. <br />
<br />
===Article X – Freedom of the Shirerithian===<br />
We commit to the improvement of civil liberties of every Shirerithian and will actively promote the potential of every denizen by making it easier to raise in rank and status on their own merit.<br />
<br />
We pledge to implement these measures swiftly and monitor their effectiveness closely. Regular reviews will take place to assess whether adjustments or additional initiatives are necessary to achieve our objectives.<br />

<div>{{N&H article}}{{Shirerithian article}}<br />
<br />
The '''Humanist Preaching Tour''', the name given to a series of rallies and festivals conducted by the [[Coalition for Imperial Humanism]] was an integral part of the [[1723 Shirerithian general elections#Coalition for Imperial Humanism|election campaign]] of the [[Humanist]] movement in the [[Benacia]]n portion of the [[Imperial Republic]]. The preaching tours began on 9.V.1723 and continued without cessation up until the eve of the election on 1.VII.{{AN|1723}}. Each apostle was assigned a subdivision as their vicarate within which they would be tasked to undertake campaigning actions that would subsequently become known as the "apostolic visitations". These would take a variety of forms, including attending banquets and festivals, sermons, stump speeches, parades, and stadium rallies. <br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
Their hearts filled with the burning desire to spread the good news of the Human Supremacy in Benacia and across the world entire, twelve apostles of Humanism departed from Cabbagefall on 9.V.1723 to commence a preaching tour in the [[Imperial County]] and the [[Duchy of Brookshire]]. Blessed by an officiant of the [[Cult of Mors]] before their departure, the [[Order of Paladins]] made prudent arrangements for their safety during the tour and all regional sector cadres and Humanist Vanguard had been charged to render every assistance and support that the twelve evangelists of Humanism shall require for the duration of their mission.<br />
<br />
The apostles' mission held a significant purpose beyond just spreading the teachings of Humanism. Their goal was to play a crucial role in educating and preparing the population of [[Shireroth]] for the upcoming general elections. With the Coalition for Imperial Humanism aiming to make a strong impact, the apostles understood the importance of ensuring that the people were well-informed and ready to embrace the truth of Humanism.<br />
<br />
The elections, scheduled to take in two months time, held immense significance for the Coalition. Building upon their success in the 1717 elections, where they had emerged as the main opposition movement within the [[Folksraad]], the Coalition sought to further solidify their position and influence in the political landscape of Shireroth. As the apostles embarked on their preaching tour, their mission took on a dual role. Not only were they spreading the message of Humanism, but they were also working towards creating a strong foundation of support for the Coalition's electoral campaign. By educating the population about the principles and values of Humanism, they aimed to garner widespread support and belief in their cause. With their fervent dedication and unwavering commitment, the apostles were determined to leave a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of the people of Shireroth. Their mission was not just about preaching, but about empowering individuals to make informed choices and embrace the truth that the Coalition for Imperial Humanism represented. As they travelled through the Imperial County and the Duchy of Brookshire, the apostles knew that they were contributing to a larger movement, one that aimed to shape the future of Shireroth.

Through meetings, discussions, and direct interactions, he sought to rally their support for the Humanist movement and its efforts to ensure continued economic prosperity and stability in Musica.<br />
<br />
'''Protests and Direct Action:''' To draw attention to the potential threats posed by an isolationist policy, Rahmani instigated protests and direct action in Musica. These actions aimed to raise awareness about the implications of leaving the Raspur Pact and the risks it could pose to both economic prosperity and security. By organizing rallies, marches, and public demonstrations, he sought to create a visible and vocal presence that advocated for continued international integration.<br />
<br />
'''Highlighting Security Concerns:''' In addition to economic concerns, Rahmani also emphasized the security implications of an isolationist approach. He discussed how the cooperation within the Raspur Pact contributed to regional stability and security. By engaging with naval personnel and those involved in defense, he aimed to underscore the importance of maintaining partnerships that could safeguard the safety of coastal regions and naval routes.<br />
<br />
'''Unifying for a Common Cause:''' Rahmani's efforts were centred around the idea of unifying the merchant community, dockworkers, naval personnel, and the broader population of Musica for a common cause. He aimed to foster a sense of shared purpose and urgency in advocating for continued integration within the Raspur Pact. Through his engagement and advocacy, he aimed to contribute to the awareness and understanding of the potential consequences of isolationist policies and the benefits of upholding the principles of Humanism and international cooperation.<br />
|-<br />
|Far Guttuli||Parisa Shadmani||135||'''Economic Leadership Engagement:''' Parisa Shadmani's mission in the [[Viscounty of Lumenetra]], Far Guttuli, centred on establishing contact with key economic leadership figures. She engaged with representatives from prominent institutions such as the [[Imperial and Emirati Bank of the Sathrati Islands]], [[Ahvaz Lumenetra Automotive Engineering Company]], [[Entrepreneurship Services Bank]], [[Imperial Constancian Postal Savings Bank]], and the [[North Sea Ferry Corporation]]. Through these engagements, Shadmani sought to reaffirm the consensus that Shireroth's integration within the [[Raspur Pact]]'s free trade area was essential. She highlighted the potential risks and consequences of disentangling the Shirerithian economy from the globalised trading networks, emphasizing the potential economic benefits that continued integration could bring.<br />
<br />
'''Raspur Pact Advocacy:''' Shadmani worked diligently to strengthen the belief that remaining integrated within the Raspur Pact was crucial for Shireroth's economic stability and geopolitical security. She engaged in discussions with local community leaders to highlight the interconnectedness of the global market and the advantages of maintaining existing trade partnerships. Shadmani emphasized the shared interests and benefits that the Raspur Pact offered to member nations, focusing on how continued collaboration could lead to prosperity for all involved.<br />
<br />
'''Contact with the Children of Salus:''' Another significant aspect of Parisa Shadmani's mission was to establish contact with the [[Children of Salus]], a formation of partisans once known to have been operating in the interior of the Far Guttuli. These partisans were remnants of various bands that had been disrupted by the rise of the [[Guttuli Protectorate]] in the aftermath of the [[Kalirion Fracture]]. Shadmani recognized the potential for unity and collaboration between the Children of Salus and the Humanist movement. She sought to make contact through meetings with elected elders of the [[Lunatic Veterans Association]], a group that purported to speak on behalf of the partisans. Shadmani's goal was to convince them that their best chance for a national revival lay in aligning their cause with Humanism. By building bridges and finding common ground, she aimed to create a platform for cooperation that could benefit both parties.<br />
<br />
'''National Revival through Common Cause:''' Shadmani's efforts were directed towards establishing a shared vision for a national revival in Lunaris. She acknowledged the importance of the Lunatic Veterans Association's role and sought to collaborate with them to achieve common goals. By advocating for Humanism as a unifying force that transcended cultural and historical differences, Shadmani aimed to convince the elders that aligning with Humanism could provide a pathway to revitalising their homeland and achieving their aspirations for a brighter future. Through discussions and engagement, she hoped to create a foundation for mutual understanding and cooperation that could pave the way for a renewed sense of purpose and unity among the Children of Salus and the broader Humanist movement.<br />
|-<br />
|Near Guttuli||Amirah Nasreen||88||'''Landed Gentry Engagement:''' Amirah Nasreen's mission in Near Guttuli focused on engaging with the landed gentry who had been installed in the region after its [[Gracing the Guttuli|reconquest]] by Kaiseress Salome. Based in Lachlan, she embarked on a comprehensive tour, visiting various key areas including the Viscounty of Ankh, Marquisate of Overmark, County of Lowbrook, City of Lichport, County of Sentris, and Viscounty of Irenaea. Her objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the interests, concerns, and aspirations of the landowners in the region.<br />
<br />
'''Understanding Their Interests:''' Nasreen recognized the importance of understanding the perspectives and priorities of the landed gentry. Through interviews and discussions, she aimed to delve into their motivations, challenges, and vision for the future. By actively listening to their concerns and desires, she sought to establish a platform for meaningful dialogue and engagement.<br />
<br />
'''Support for Humanism and the Raspur Pact:''' One of the key messages that Nasreen conveyed to the landed gentry was the significance of supporting the cause of Humanism and the Raspur Pact. She highlighted how aligning with these values could contribute to the preservation of their holdings and ensure the continued prosperity of their estates. Nasreen emphasized that a unified stance in support of the [[Ayreon-Kalirion]] dynasty and the [[Golden Mango Throne]] was paramount for maintaining stability and security within the region.<br />
<br />
'''Maintaining Tradition and Stability:''' Nasreen's discussions with the landed gentry revolved around the preservation of tradition, stability, and the continuation of a strong and united Shireroth. She presented Humanism as a pathway to uphold the values of loyalty, fealty, and devotion to the rightful rulers of the land. By connecting the principles of Humanism with the legacy of the Ayreon-Kalirion dynasty, she aimed to establish a compelling case for their support.<br />
<br />
'''Securing the Future:''' Through her engagements, Nasreen sought to demonstrate how embracing the principles of Humanism could contribute to a prosperous and secure future for the landed gentry and their holdings. She highlighted the benefits of unity, shared purpose, and the stability that the Humanist movement aimed to bring to Shireroth. By fostering a sense of solidarity and common cause, Nasreen aimed to garner support from the landed gentry for the Humanist movement and its vision for a harmonious society.<br />

[[Category:Elections (Shireroth)]]</div>Jonas Windsorhttps://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=1723_Party_Congress_(MSM)&diff=3199961723 Party Congress (MSM)2024-03-07T16:53:56Z<p>Jonas Windsor: </p>
<hr />
<div>The '''1723 Party Congress of the [[Mango-Strengthening Movement]]''' was held in [[Shirekeep]] at the start of 1723 AN, after the split between [[Vanguard for National Rewakening|Verionists]] and other members of the party. It was held to prepare for the [[1723 Shirerithian general elections]] and during a period of upheaval - both domestic as foreign -, as a result of the ongoing [[Floria–Shireroth diplomatic conflict]]. Therefore, the congress focused on issues like increasing the military budget and expanding the armed forces, as a growing share of the party members felt that the [[Raspur Pact]] was unable to keep the Imperial Republic safe. Issues like the ''Florian Situation'' and the membership of [[Raspur Pact]] were also on the agenda.<br />
<br />
=Trivia=<br />
*At the start of the congress in Shirekeep, riot police had to stop Humanists protestors from entering the building and harming the party representatives.<br />
<br />
=Speeches=<br />
==Speech by Li Suyi==<br />
[[File:1723 speech by Liu Siyu.png|250px|thumb|left|Liu Siyu holding a speech in front of the party congress.]]<br />
[[Li Suyi]], honourable representative from [[Yuanbeicheng|Port Nevermore]], spoke to the Party Congress with a stern warning for Humanism:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, it is my honor to speak before you today regarding recent events involving our supposed allies and the state of affairs within Shireroth itself. It is no secret that Shireroth has faced numerous challenges in recent years, including internal strife and external threats. However, what may come as a surprise to some is the extent to which our so-called friends have attempted to manipulate our political landscape.''<br />
<br />
''I am speaking specifically about the actions taken by members of the Humanist parties, which act as lackeys of the Benacian Union, who have repeatedly tried to exert their will upon us. From attempting to sway elections to influencing policy decisions, their meddling has gone too far. We must recognize that true friendship does not involve manipulation or deceit. Instead, it involves mutual respect and support.''<br />
<br />
''Furthermore, we cannot ignore the fact that membership in the Raspur Pact has failed to bring the benefits promised. While we appreciate the desire for unity and collaboration among nations, the reality is that Shireroth has received little tangible benefit from participation in this organization. Our economy collapsed and remained stagnant, with little to no support of our Allies when we really needed it. Where were they when the Natopo replaced our currency on the international markets? Our military strength declined tremendously and our voice on the world stage grew quieter. Where was the aid, where were the benefits that our opposition talks about? There was none, or it should have benefited them more than it benefited us. Shireroth climbed out of its misery thanks to its people: millions of Brookshirians, Batavians, Jing, Kildari and so many more. It was the leadership of men and women like our Kaiseress, Salome, Chrysostom Wythe and Louis Thuylemans whom led the country on the right path.'' <br />
<br />
''It is time for us to take action and reclaim control over our own fate. There are still several non-Humanist political parties which feel that Raspur deserves their loyalty. We can only hope that you as voter realizes that a vote for them, at the moment, is the same as voting for further subjugation of our nation to foreign powers. We must stand firm against those who seek to manipulate us and pursue our own path towards progress and prosperity. Glory to the Kaiseress! Glory to Shireroth!"''</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==Speech of Sanada Taro==<br />
Sanada Taro, honourable representative from [[Daocheng]], was more focused on the positive achievements of the party and the government in the last few years:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''"Dear fellow citizens of Shireroth,''<br />
<br />
''Today - with the upcoming 1723 elections - marks another milestone in our journey towards becoming a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of each one of us, we have achieved remarkable progress in various aspects of life. Let us take a moment to celebrate these accomplishments together.''<br />
<br />
''First and foremost, I am proud to report that our government has successfully implemented measures to improve the wellbeing of every citizen, from 's Koningenwaarde to Talenore. Through targeted programs and policies, we have seen a marked increase in access to quality education, healthcare, and social services. Furthermore, we continue to make great strides in addressing issues related to poverty, inequality, and discrimination.''<br />
<br />
''In addition to enhancing social welfare, we have also witnessed tremendous improvements in living standards thanks to the funds partly invested by the Dalmacijan gold mines. Our cities became cleaner, safer, and more livable than ever before. New homes and apartments have been built to accommodate our expanding population, and we have invested in upgrading existing infrastructure to meet the needs of modern life.''<br />
<br />
''One of the most pressing concerns facing our nation has always been employment: with over a billion Shirerithians, we hold a large fraction of Micras' population. Through civil unrest, we saw our industry collapse and many jobs lost. Yet here again, we have reason to be optimistic. The Erb is standing strong. Our grain supplies are higher than ever and ready to be exported to willing partners, like [[Natopia]] and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. Unemployment rates have steadily declined thanks to strategic investments in industries that drive economic growth. Whether through supporting small businesses or attracting major corporations, we are fostering an environment conducive to job creation and career advancement.''<br />
<br />
''Finally, let us turn our attention to the industrial sector. Our manufacturing base continues to grow and diversify, with industrial hubs in Shirekeep, Xiacheng, Gangdiguo, 's Koingenwaarde, Port Nevermore and many more, providing high-quality goods and services both domestically and internationally.''<br />
<br />
''These achievements would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of the Mango-Strengthening Movement and its commitment to building a better future for ourselves and future generations. Together, we can continue to build a brighter tomorrow for everyone in Shireroth."''</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
=Outcome (draft)=<br />
1. The ''Florian Issue'' is one of great importance, as it directly threatens the borders of our Empire and therefore the livelihood of our population. The party sees no future in further cooperation with the Florian nation, who have proven time and time again to be an unreliable partner. If Shireroth would remain in the Raspur Pact, Floria needs to be thrown out. <br />
<br />
2. Through small-scale reforms and recruitment programs, the administration succeeded in expanding our army from a small elite unit to a force of one and a half million soldiers. It is estimated that we have 13.5 million reservists ready to be called up. These are impressive numbers, but it should be remembered that many of these are ill-educated or trained with military doctrines that are not always perfectly aligned with ours. Our party will continue to focus on this in the coming term of office: better '''material and better training'''.<br />
<br />
3. The navy and air force also need to be further expanded. Further research, and collaboration with nations such as [[Sanama]], should be encouraged. As in our last campaign, we keep stimulating our own companies to make our military production independent from other nations.<br />
<br />
4. The MSM '''does not endorse any expansion of our territory through force and warfare''', nor do we seek to pressure former territories of the Imperial Republic to re-incorporate into our nation. Our Armed Forces are here to protect our territory, not to expand it. If the threat of war on the [[Benacia]]n continent becomes true, then the Benacian Union and their greed will be to blame and not us.<br />
<br />
5. The last few years it has become increasingly clear that we want to remain in friendly relations with our fellow Micrasian countries. At the same time, however, it also became clear that certain aspects of the Raspur Pact currently harms us more than it benefits us. Unfortunately, the greatest threats to our independence lie within the Pact. We therefore wish to leave the Pact peacefully, as Sanama has shown. Our Imperial Republic is strong and capable of standing on its own two feet. We will forge new bonds that will fully benefit both Shireroth and her allies.<br />

General elections were held throughout Shireroth on 1.VII.1717 for the [[Adelsraad]] and [[Folksraad]]. Neither chamber has been in session since the [[Kalirion Fracture]] in {{AN|1671}}, but elections were resumed by [[Imperial Decrees (Shireroth)/Resumption of the Adelsraad and the Folksraad|Imperial Decree]]. It was also the first time since the the reintegration of Greater Kildare, and the annexation of Batavia, that representatives of those territories could participate.<br />

File:Mango-Strengthening Movement propaganda 3.png|Its economic program became an anchor point in the election campaign of the MSM: with lots of funds in the hands of its party members, promises of renewed investments were made. Some unkind commentators noted that the wings appeared to be coming off the aircraft. The Tegong duly noted their names and locations, while the artist of the poster had an unfortunate accident by falling on a bullet later that day.<br />

Local successes in social and economic by nobles in the provincial administrations were magnified and widely published in newspapers and seen as harbinger of success on a national scale, should the party win. The Mango-Strengthening Movement focused during its rallies and election campaign on several issues: the economic stagnation in several states (in Benacia the after-effects of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and in Apollonia the results of two decades of political disorder) was denounced, and would soon end. With Li Suyi's major clean-up - the so-called [[Chastisement of the Hereditary Lords]] - peace was restored and the situation normalized. <br />
<br />
'''Massive government investments''' were announced should the MSM win the election. Strengthened by [[Li Suyi]] - who, despite his tough character - was slowly but surely building up the image of an incorruptible statesman, the party was able to raise itself as a party of order and stability. "Order and stability lead to a new golden age," the party said.<br />
<br />
The huge gold reserves of the [[Dalmacijan Imperial Gold Reserves]] would be used to give the extra boost to improve the prosperity in both Benacia and Apollonia. Gold reserves - piled up during two decades of neglect - would be used to stimulate trade, reinvigorate research and enrich the people of the whole Imperial Republic. Several large companies, like [[Gong Shipyards]] and [[Sokoku Industries]] openly approved of the plans and pledged their support to the economical program of the party. References to investments in Shirekeep and the gentrification of certain neighborhoods influenced by the capital's past investments were cited to prove that the MSM was not standing still.<br />
<br />
In addition to economic issues, the party emphasized the '''importance of traditional values''': the family as the cornerstone of society, with Cedrism and Tianchaodao as moral guides. Loyalty and obedience to the Kaiseress, Heavenly Light and State were promoted as a necessity for a better life.<br />
<br />
An electoral vote - warned to the party - for humanism, however well-intentioned, were misguided (since its core principles were certainly acceptable in the eyes of many MSM'ers), could only lead to the loss of the Imperial Republic's independence. References to the party as a talking point for the Benecian Union were made several times directly and indirectly at rallies. The humanists constant attacks on the established order were dismissed as an attack on the Imperial Republic. The denizens, ravaged by revolutions and civil wars, were not helped by new conflicts and should not concern them with those who sought to destroy the natural order.<br />

File:1717 IHPS Propaganda 2.png|Campaigning in [[Shirekeep]] meanwhile focused on the sanitation issues which had bedevilled the city ever since the infamous [[Cabbage Crisis]].<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
The campaign of the [[Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth]]'s regional sector party in [[Brookshire]] focused upon the reintegration of West Bank Guttuli into the Brookshirian realm, with the separate regional sector party in East Bank Guttuli campaigning under the banner of [[Lunaris]]. To this end, throughout the West Bank territories the IHPS sponsored the construction of [[Cedrist]] temples and devotional spaces that would conduct sacrifices and worship to the Sun in his triple role of Rising Creator, Radiant Sustainer, and Unyielding Destroyer. The layout of these temple sites had been derived from the texts of the Cornflower Society, an esoteric organisation that grew up around the teachings of [[Guttuli Protectorate#Esoteric Cedrism|Ilona bi Finbloman]]. The 1717 celebrations of the [[Festival of the Undaunted Atos]] in Brookshire and West Bank Guttuli saw Humanist sponsored carnivals celebrating the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Children of the Sun|Daughters of Atos]] as the hope for the future of the nation. It was believed that Humanist cadres in the region were hard at work recruiting for the establishment of [[Humanist Institutes]] and a coordination centre for the [[N&H Future Leadership Programme]] which would be unveiled at the culmination of a grand carnival festival to be held in [[Musica]] during High [[Roqpin]]. The push to establish the apparatus for a system of selective education was presented as a means by which denizens would be able to better themselves, and to ensure that their children stood a chance of attaining citizenship via entry into the service nobility.<br />
<br />
The Regional Sector Party of Lunaris (East Bank or ''Far'' Guttuli) meanwhile campaigned on a platform of reconstruction. The former Lunatic lands had suffered the worst of the [[Guttuli Protectorate]] tyranny and had been devastated by a [[daemon]]ic incursion during the war which had seen the territory reincorporated into [[Shireroth]]. The cadres sought to establish contact with the elusive and unreconciled survivors of the [[Children of Salus]], a partisan movement which had opposed the Protectorate regime and its successors, in order to establish an appropriately Lunatic form of nationalism. Amongst the causes championed by the regional sector party was the reconstruction of Erianamor, a former seat of the [[House of Yastreb]] and later a part of the personal domain of [[Isabella Simrani-Kalirion]], that had been a city of some historical and cultural significance prior to its destruction. As may be surmised, the regional sector party advocated for the reassertion of Lunaris as a Duchy once West Bank, "Near", Guttuli is reincorporated into Brookshire proper.<br />
<br />
In the [[Eastern Imperium]] meanwhile the cadres of the [[Imperial Humanist Party of Greater Kildare]] had focused on pamphleting, billboard postings, and mass demonstrations in the Kildari and Jing cities, calling out the denizens in protest against the nobility, who had so severely mishandled reintegration over the last decade as to have been subjected to a campaign of Imperial chastisement only last year. The protests advocated for the creation within the IHPSK of a strong mass party of the denizens whose [[Vanguard Division]]s could then help to keep the Feudatory Lords in check.<br />
<br />
Party meetings became heavily monitored by [[Tegong]] officers, whom saw the activities of the Vanguard as a threat to public security services.<br />

==Aftermath==<br />
Within the first hours after the elections, the Mango-Strengthening Movement claimed victory and promised cooperation with all parties - especially the Throne Loyalists and Ultraroyalists. Behind the scenes, Li Suyi noted to his closest aids that the influence of humanism on the masses was a worry that had to be handled with care. As agreed between several noble factions during the [[Chastisement of the Hereditary Lords]], [[Provincial Assemblies of Greater Kildare|Provincial Assemblies]] were set up in Greater Kildare to limit and control any potential power hungry nobles.<br />

File:Mango-Strengthening Movement propaganda 2.png|Jingdaoese and Kildari are called upon to show their patriotism towards the Imperial Republic.<br />
File:Mango-Strengthening Movement propaganda 3.png|Its economic program became an anchor point in the election campaign of the MSM: with lots of funds in the hands of its party members, promises of renewed investments were made. Some unkind commentators noted that the wings appeared to be coming off the aircraft. The Tegong duly noted their names and locations, while the artist of the poster had an unfortunate accident by falling on a bullet later that day.<br />
</gallery><br />
Local successes in social and economic by nobles in the provincial administrations were magnified and widely published in newspapers and seen as harbinger of success on a national scale, should the party win. The Mango-Strengthening Movement focused during its rallies and election campaign on several issues: the economic stagnation in several states (in Benacia the after-effects of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and in Apollonia the results of two decades of political disorder) was denounced, and would soon end. With Li Suyi's major clean-up - the so-called [[Chastisement of the Hereditary Lords]] - peace was restored and the situation normalized. <br />
<br />
'''Massive government investments''' were announced should the MSM win the election. Strengthened by [[Li Suyi]] - who, despite his tough character - was slowly but surely building up the image of an incorruptible statesman, the party was able to raise itself as a party of order and stability. "Order and stability lead to a new golden age," the party said.<br />
<br />
The huge gold reserves of the [[Dalmacijan Imperial Gold Reserves]] would be used to give the extra boost to improve the prosperity in both Benacia and Apollonia. Gold reserves - piled up during two decades of neglect - would be used to stimulate trade, reinvigorate research and enrich the people of the whole Imperial Republic. Several large companies, like [[Gong Shipyards]] and [[Sokoku Industries]] openly approved of the plans and pledged their support to the economical program of the party. References to investments in Shirekeep and the gentrification of certain neighborhoods influenced by the capital's past investments were cited to prove that the MSM was not standing still.<br />
<br />
In addition to economic issues, the party emphasized the '''importance of traditional values''': the family as the cornerstone of society, with Cedrism and Tianchaodao as moral guides. Loyalty and obedience to the Kaiseress, Heavenly Light and State were promoted as a necessity for a better life.<br />
<br />
An electoral vote - warned to the party - for humanism, however well-intentioned, were misguided (since its core principles were certainly acceptable in the eyes of many MSM'ers), could only lead to the loss of the Imperial Republic's independence. References to the party as a talking point for the Benecian Union were made several times directly and indirectly at rallies. The humanists constant attacks on the established order were dismissed as an attack on the Imperial Republic. The denizens, ravaged by revolutions and civil wars, were not helped by new conflicts and should not concern them with those who sought to destroy the natural order.<br />

File:1717 IHPS Propaganda 2.png|Campaigning in [[Shirekeep]] meanwhile focused on the sanitation issues which had bedevilled the city ever since the infamous [[Cabbage Crisis]].<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
The campaign of the [[Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth]]'s regional sector party in [[Brookshire]] focused upon the reintegration of West Bank Guttuli into the Brookshirian realm, with the separate regional sector party in East Bank Guttuli campaigning under the banner of [[Lunaris]]. To this end, throughout the West Bank territories the IHPS sponsored the construction of [[Cedrist]] temples and devotional spaces that would conduct sacrifices and worship to the Sun in his triple role of Rising Creator, Radiant Sustainer, and Unyielding Destroyer. The layout of these temple sites had been derived from the texts of the Cornflower Society, an esoteric organisation that grew up around the teachings of [[Guttuli Protectorate#Esoteric Cedrism|Ilona bi Finbloman]]. The 1717 celebrations of the [[Festival of the Undaunted Atos]] in Brookshire and West Bank Guttuli saw Humanist sponsored carnivals celebrating the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Children of the Sun|Daughters of Atos]] as the hope for the future of the nation. It was believed that Humanist cadres in the region were hard at work recruiting for the establishment of [[Humanist Institutes]] and a coordination centre for the [[N&H Future Leadership Programme]] which would be unveiled at the culmination of a grand carnival festival to be held in [[Musica]] during High [[Roqpin]]. The push to establish the apparatus for a system of selective education was presented as a means by which denizens would be able to better themselves, and to ensure that their children stood a chance of attaining citizenship via entry into the service nobility.<br />
<br />
The Regional Sector Party of Lunaris (East Bank or ''Far'' Guttuli) meanwhile campaigned on a platform of reconstruction. The former Lunatic lands had suffered the worst of the [[Guttuli Protectorate]] tyranny and had been devastated by a [[daemon]]ic incursion during the war which had seen the territory reincorporated into [[Shireroth]]. The cadres sought to establish contact with the elusive and unreconciled survivors of the [[Children of Salus]], a partisan movement which had opposed the Protectorate regime and its successors, in order to establish an appropriately Lunatic form of nationalism. Amongst the causes championed by the regional sector party was the reconstruction of Erianamor, a former seat of the [[House of Yastreb]] and later a part of the personal domain of [[Isabella Simrani-Kalirion]], that had been a city of some historical and cultural significance prior to its destruction. As may be surmised, the regional sector party advocated for the reassertion of Lunaris as a Duchy once West Bank, "Near", Guttuli is reincorporated into Brookshire proper.<br />
<br />
In the [[Eastern Imperium]] meanwhile the cadres of the [[Imperial Humanist Party of Greater Kildare]] had focused on pamphleting, billboard postings, and mass demonstrations in the Kildari and Jing cities, calling out the denizens in protest against the nobility, who had so severely mishandled reintegration over the last decade as to have been subjected to a campaign of Imperial chastisement only last year. The protests advocated for the creation within the IHPSK of a strong mass party of the denizens whose [[Vanguard Division]]s could then help to keep the Feudatory Lords in check.<br />
<br />
Party meetings became heavily monitored by [[Tegong]] officers, whom saw the activities of the Vanguard as a threat to public security services.<br />

==Aftermath==<br />
Within the first hours after the elections, the Mango-Strengthening Movement claimed victory and promised cooperation with all parties - especially the Throne Loyalists and Ultraroyalists. Behind the scenes, Li Suyi noted to his closest aids that the influence of humanism on the masses was a worry that had to be handled with care. As agreed between several noble factions during the [[Chastisement of the Hereditary Lords]], [[Provincial Assemblies of Greater Kildare|Provincial Assemblies]] were set up in Greater Kildare to limit and control any potential power hungry nobles.<br />

General elections will be held throughout [[Shireroth]] on 1.VII.1723 for the Adelsraad and Folksraad, and, indirectly, also for the [[Raspur Pact Parliamentary Assembly]]. The last elections were held [[1717 Shirerithian general elections|in 1717]]. The elections coincided with the [[Floria–Shireroth diplomatic conflict]], debates about an increase of military funding, and growing criticism from the governing parties of the [[Raspur Pact]], and in particular the [[Benacian Union]]. In several cities, political campaigns were accompanied by demonstrations, or sometimes even riots, between non-Humanists and Humanist supporters. The Humanist campaign was hit hard - especially in the eastern Dominions, where it lost a lot of support after the burning of effigies of Jing. Nevertheless, the elections in general proceeded rather peaceful and with little real hiccups.<br />
<br />
The election saw record heights of people at the voting booths than ever before (over 20 million more voters), but saw a small percentual decline in people who went out to vote in comparison with the elections in 1717. It was followed by the [[1723 Shiro-Jing demonstrations]].<br />

===[[Coalition for Imperial Humanism]]===<br />
====[[Imperial Humanist Party of Greater Kildare]]====<br />
*Campaign commenced in [[Port Nevermore]] with ceremonies commemorating the 70th anniversary of the [[War of Lost Brothers]]. An occasion to examine and reflect upon the conflict which saw Kildarians forced to fight against their Benacian kindred in the furtherance of [[Jingdao]]'s aggressive policy against [[Floria]]. ''"The time has come to honestly assess the legacy of the [[Daocheng]] era, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. We must avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. We are all subjects of the [[Golden Mango Throne]], and Floria is our ally. Let us put the calamities of the past behind us."'' – [[Marius Gallo]]<br />
**In spite of these words of moderation (Floria was still perceived with distrust in the Eastern Imperium), Jing extremists were stirred up to attack Humanist political offices throughout [[Greater Kildare]], obliging the [[Talons of the Archon]] to return to the streets in order to defend the IHPGK's portfolio of properties as well as the lives of cadre members in the regional and national sector parties.<br />
<br />
*Marius Gallo attended a rally of national and regional sector cadres in [[Nigrad]], where the crowd comprised of members of the [[Humanist Vanguard]] and the Association of Humanist Institutes of Greater Kildare. After an evening of light popular music and Kildari nationalist folksongs, Archon Gallo then addressed to the crowds a series of remarks which included the following: ''"Of course what we remember is truly disgraceful about the present government is its willing embrace, out of expediency, of the [[Vanguard for National Rewakening]]. That false Vanguard makes no bones about its intention to end dynastic rule. Has the peace and stability brought to us by the long rule of the blessed [[Salome]] taught them nothing? Instead they want to go back to the institutionalised chaos of the nobles in the [[Landsraad]] figuratively and literally knifing each other every three months in order to sit precariously upon the Golden Mango Throne! Do we wish for an oustfest massacre to occur in every duodecennial cycle? And what does Thuylemans have to say to this? Not a peep? He is so fixated upon the Benacians and the Florians that he willingly ignores the viper he has clasped to the very bosom of this realm! Once again, I remind you comrades of the national community - the Humanist Movement stands for the rule of natural order in all organic nations, and the dynastic succession in Shireroth is the manifestation of the continuity and stability upon which this Imperial Republic has endured all of its travails. We should not rush to set aside the hereditary principle which raised Shireroth up upon its embrace, just as the rejection of the same by the Jing ultimately saw their empire shamefully cast down. Whilst it was fortunate, in that it was what allowed Kildare to once more arise to life and freedom, we must not permit the Thuylemans government to lead us into a new [[Decade of Inharmonious Regrets]]."'' <br />
**Steward Thuylemans' office responded not long after with the message that his party (the Ultraroyalisten) is well known for its pro-Kalirion views and would not do away with the dynasty which served the Imperial Republic well. The MSM too reconfirmed its commitment to the monarchy and the imperial family.<br />
*Following a day of Humanist Vanguard parades and stadium rallies in the Thanedom of Dalmajica, Jing nobles, their families, and retainers, endured episodes of being pelted with mud, stones, and rotting vegetables by Kildari youths. The rallies had expounded upon the depths of the suffering inflicted the Kildari race during the senseless [[War of Lost Brothers]], where they were forced to fight against their Shirerithian kin, and the atrocity that was the [[Obedience Destruction]]. That the Jing, who had been the cause of the death of millions of Kildari, pulled the strings of the present administration was highlighted to the populace as a concern far greater than any supposed Benacian or Florian threat.<br />
**Vox Pop from [[Port Nevermore]]: ''"The Kildari struggle to be free of the Jing is a matter of historical record. What difference would a token change in the far lords make for us when the near lords still draw breath."''<br />
<br />
====[[Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth]]====<br />
*[[1723 Humanist Preaching Tour]]<br />
*A number of banquets and entertainments were laid on in the counties of Brookshire, the expense paid for by voluntary contributions and generous donatives from the Honourable Company, during which the electors of the visited areas were plied with meat, beer, and cheeses, with the Humanist youth cadres attending upon them as servants for their needs, whilst, between musical interludes, the twelve apostles would hold forth from the podium decrying the iniquities of the current government, its failures of foreign policy, the systematic neglect of the Imperial Forces, its unreasoning hostility towards the Imperial Republic's true allies in the Benacian Union, and seeming willingness to burn bridges with historical partners such as Natopia and Constancia through the threatened abandonment of the Raspur Pact.<br />
* Alaric Stern, Captain-General of the [[Order of the Paladins]]: ''"To the Thuylemans administration, the [[Raspur Pact]], as the largest free trade bloc in the world, provides "precious few benefits". It is clear that, blinded by myopic paranoia about the Benacian Union, and covetous of recovering Elwynn and Goldshire - the aspiration of Thylemans' Verionist accomplices, the present administration aims for a decisive rupture with the most significant trading partners of the Imperial Republic. Blithely they assume that they can alienate [[Natopia]] and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]] and become "another [[Sanama]]" in perfect safety and without consequences. Indeed, it is apparent that, with the Jing and Verionists pulling the Batavian's strings, a pact with Sanama would be in the offing the moment they treacherously abandoned their former alignment. Such perfect neutrality! Do they seriously expect that peace in Benacia could long endure under such circumstances?"'' <br />
**[[Count Palatine of Mirioth and Amity]]: ''"It is clear from their internal debates, that the MSM is intent upon the disarmament of the states and the noble lords. For presentational reasons they have shied away from it on this occasion, but we can be sure that - on the first trumped up pretext - the impulse and the policy will return. To be sure, they will claim that it is for our safety, but with the monopoly of force vested in the Imperial centre will come tyranny, and with tyranny shall the seeds of a second and more terrible fracture be sown. To ward against that day, noble lords, I appeal to you to maintain your retinues in a state of readiness, and to lend your votes to the Humanist movement on this occasion."''<br />
*Amirah Nasreen, during a stadium rally held in [[Musica]], warned of the prohibitive tariffs on grain exports to Nouvelle Alexandrie and Natopia that would face the agricultural concerns of Brookshire and the Guttuli if Shireroth were to attempt to decouple itself from the world's single largest free trade area. To say nothing of the threat posed by commerce raiding if Shirerithian vessels could no longer sail with the [[trade fleets]], she added with an enigmatic smirk.<br />
*A [https://micras.org/wiki/images/d/dc/1723_MSM_Poster_4.png blasphemous poster] circulated by the MSM spread outrage amongst the [[Nazarene]] faithful. Something that Humanist cadres are only too keen to talk up. The worshippers of Sisera are the inevitable enemies of all rightly guided religions.<br />
*"It should be remembered that, for all the talk of the Benacian Union being oppressive, you have to fail pretty hard in life, or be actively disloyal, to wind up as a protected person. The Benacians are as pragmatic as we are, for are we not brotherly peoples after all. Consider the generous terms by which home rule was restored to the [[Sovereign Confederation]], or the liberties granted to [[Ransenar]] upon its accession. The Humanists do not target their own in peacetime, you'd have to look to the Jing and Verionists for that. And this holds true in Shireroth as much as it does in any other place. Remain loyal; loyal to the Pact, loyal to the Golden Mango Throne, loyal to Humanity, and all shall be well – the enduring peace of our times shall continue. Voters should remember that it is through the intercession of the Pact that Shireroth survived at all. The MSM and their UR appendage would like to claim the credit for the rebound that the security provided by the Pact provided for, and which Salome and the late great Steward Wythe took full advantage of."<br />

====Regional Sector Party Sathrati====<br />
<br />
*Refreshed and rejuvenated after an [[1723 Benacian Grand Tour of Eura|extended tour]] of [[Eura]], the [[Count of Erudition]] arrived in the isles and began a programme of touring, meeting with regional sector cadres, local landowners and notables, and attending upon the plantation owners of Amity and Mirioth with especial intention. On the recommendations of their employers, select foremen at each visited site were singled out for praise and awarded donatives for their diligence in supervising those under contractural obligation in the fields. The Count of Erudition affirmed at each stop on his tour that the hard working denizen was the bedrock of a sovereign Sathrati within the Imperial Republic. The subject of manumission for the unfree was raised, and the Humanist view that liberty, as freedom under the law, should be attainable by any subject capable of demonstrating merit when subject to evaluation by authority.<br />
<br />
*[[Nordagaat]] (Mirioth): A public parade and festival was held, during which effigies of the [[safir]], [[daemons]], and [[Jing]] were subjected to ritualistic scorn before being publicly burnt. Donatives were distributed amongst the crowd.<br />
**The event was broadcast on several television channels and met with heavy criticism. Many were shocked and there was great anger in the streets, both in Greater Kildare and in other parts of the realm. The largest television channels, [[Batavian Broadcasting Company]] and [[Union Jing Broadcast]], which until then had shown some form of neutrality and had broadcast political campaigns from all parties, announced a boycott of all Humanist-related politicians. Documentaries on the atrocities and war crimes of the [[Raspur Pact]] during the [[War of Lost Brothers]] and other campaigns were now widely broadcast on television. MSM representatives proclaimed in this action that their warnings to the Humanists were not unfounded. ''"A vote for Humanism is a vote for lynchings and mass murder. They are willing to do anything to put power in the hands of their foreign overlords and keep the Shirerithian people enslaved."''<br />
***Inexplicable technical difficulties caused a blackout of Batavian and Jing channels rebroadcast by transmission towers in the Sathrati Isles. In their place was a series of documentaries on the [[Obedience Destruction]], [[Jexit]], the crimes of the [[Tegong]], and the role that the worship of [[Sisera]] played in the [[Hurmu Genocide]]. The [[Council of Sathrati|local authorities]] referred all questions regarding the blackout back to the broadcasters themselves.<br />
**Vox Pop from a resident of Amity, widely circulated on social media: ''"Say what you will about the Pact, at least they never initiated a horror through [[Obedience Destruction|clerical error]]. Reckon we might as well stick with the Pact and support the Humanists - at least they only reserve their ire for traitors."''<br />
<br />
====Operation "Get Out the Vote"====<br />
<br />
The Coalition for Imperial Humanism embarked on a strategic initiative known as Operation "Get Out the Vote," aimed at mobilising its members and supporters to actively participate in the electoral process and ensure the success of the Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth and its counterpart in Greater Kildare. This operation involved the coordinated efforts of regional sector cadre officers and Humanist Vanguard squads, who rallied registered members to engage in door-to-door campaigns within their communities.<br />
<br />
The operation kicked off with a focused effort to muster registered members and supporters. These individuals were tasked with reaching out to fellow denizens, engaging in conversations about the importance of voting, and urging them to pledge their support to the Humanist movement. The goal was to encourage individuals to participate in the upcoming polls and contribute to the success of the Humanist parties.<br />
<br />
During their door-to-door campaigns, assembled denizens were provided with essential information about the election process. This included details about the date of the polls, the candidate lists, and any calumnies or false accusations that had been directed against the Humanist Movement. By addressing concerns and clarifying misconceptions, the campaign aimed to empower voters with accurate information.<br />
<br />
To solidify their commitment to the cause, attendees were requested to sign a covenant. This covenant, endorsed with both their signature and a symbolic thumbprint made with a pinprick of their own blood, signified their dedication to serving the movement in the upcoming twenty-four days leading up to and beyond the polls. It further bound them to follow instructions provided by their assigned cadre leaders and to fulfill their duties, including actively participating at the ballot box.<br />
<br />
The meetings also included practical guidance on personal safety and preparedness. Attendees were briefed by local branch security officers on sensible precautions to take, the contents to include in a bug-out bag, and specific instructions for members of the Humanist hunting and sporting associations. This emphasis on preparedness underscored the importance of being ready for a range of scenarios.<br />
<br />
Operation "Get Out the Vote" served as a call to action for members and supporters to actively contribute to the success of the Humanist movement. By engaging in meaningful conversations, fostering community engagement, and solidifying their commitment through covenants, participants played a vital role in amplifying the movement's impact and advocating for its ideals. The operation aimed to unify the efforts of individuals dedicated to a shared vision and inspire them to play an active role in shaping the future of Shireroth.<br />

===[[Mango-Strengthening Movement]] and [[Ultraroyalisten]]===<br />

[[File:1723 Blimp campaign.png|250px|thumb|right|In the last week before the elections, a 'campaign by blimps' was held above major cities of the Imperial Republic.]]<br />
*Several political parties joined forces in the smaller electoral districts in a desire to stop the Humanists from profiting from the division between the parties. These parties are: the Vanguard for National Rewakening, the Mango-Strengthening Movement, the Ultraroyalisten and Passibelend.<br />
*[[Mango-Strengthening Movement]] and [[Ultraroyalisten]]<br />
**Under [[Louis Thuylemans]], the MSM and UR kickstarted a campaign called "Thuylemans NOW" to keep their Steward in charge of the Imperial Republic. During the campaign, the focus was on two things: on the one hand, the threat of the Humanists was raised to appease the hawkish faction, but on the other - and this was mainly propagated by the strategists on Thuylemans' side - a focus was placed on the growing prosperity of the common citizen under the current administration. A vote for continued industrialization, improvement in living standards and the return of Shireroth to the international scene as a stable and neutral partner (possibly even apart from the Raspur Pact, should certain problems not be resolved), would mean a vote for the governing parties.<br />
**During the MSM party congress in 1723 AN, the representatives agreed that cooperating with the Humanist party would be impossible as long as they were perceived to handle in the interests of their masters in [[Chryse]]. The meddling of the [[Benacian Union]] was seen as a worrying and destabilizing factor.<br />
**The parties made extensive use of both radio and television to broadcast their message to the masses.<br />
**During the last week, the MSM launched a campaign not only by conquering the radio and television waves, but also through airships and blimps. Above every major Shirerithian city a blimp - fabricated by [[Gangtie Industries]] - was seen with the message urging the people to vote MSM.<br />

=== [[National Movement of Human Ecologists]] ===<br />
[[File:NMHE LifeIsLife.png|thumb]]<br />
[[File:NMHE One Vision.png|thumb]]<br />
[[File:NHME Arise.png|thumb|Jingdaoese-language propaganda distributed throughout Dalmacija, Xianbei, Jinkeai, Qaoshan, and Kildare.]]<br />
Following their respective regional conferences, where party officer elections were held, each branch of the National Movement of Human Ecologists affirmed the vision of Neo-Thalvaism. Thereafter, campaigning began within their jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
The order of business at each campaign rally outside of Brookshire:<br />
* A free avant-garde rock concert intended to evoke the liberatory principles of Human Ecology, the ways in which the Machine-Centered Society is destructive to the Human Spirit, and the need for a Machine-Destroying Machine to save Humanity<br />
* Polemic Speeches from branch party officers, appealing to them for their vote in the upcoming general elections so that they can compel the state to become a machine-destroying machine, but also to become an active participant in planting the garden that will bloom into the Human-Centered Society of tomorrow.<br />
* The Local Candidates, who give a short message of peace and an invitation for attendees to visit their local ecological community to learn how to become a better Gardener of the Human Spirit.<br />
* Conclusion with the party's campaign song, "Life is Life".<br />
<br />
Inside Brookshire, [[Łudo Thalva]] attends each campaign rally, and speaks a few minutes after each song about a specific problem affecting regular, common people today, and how painful it is to know that those problems are ignored by the people at the top. Branch party officers merely participate in introducing Thalva at the beginning of the rally, and at the very end, reminding people to vote for the National Movement of Human Ecologists.<br />

''Once the general election passed, the travelling band and retinue of party officers and campaign organizers decided to continue holding a modified form of rally thereafter, aimed at inspiring the development of new local ecological communities in Sichuan District.''<br />
<br />
==== Joint Campaign Rally at Hunjibetz ====<br />
<br />
During the last week before elections opened, branch party officers and Łudo Thalva gathered in the ruins of the Hunjibetz Estate. As supporters and inquirers came in by chartered train and bus, they were put to work to create a temporary Ecological Community there. This effort culminated with one last, highly unorthodox rally, nominally headed by Łudo Thalva but coordinated and kept on track by [[Ambrose Verreitzsch]] of the Guttuli Branch. The daylong rally featured ethereal ambient music and Łudo walking through the impromptu community, offering random people the microphone with the instruction to "share your pain, and gain strength from the sharing". At sunset, during supper, Łudo provided a benediction, telling people there that, in the morning, they will be returning home to their local towns and cities throughout southeastern Benacia, and that no matter how the election goes, they will have made an impact in the lives of others, and that this is has been the guiding principle upon which the Human Ecological Movement has always been based, but that some have forgotten over the years:<br />
<blockquote>"the human-centered society is not human-centered because we have ''Conquered The Machine'', it is human-centered because it is about one vulnerable heart connecting with another vulnerable heart, and the two creating something stronger in their bond than the mere sum of the individual parts. We are not components, raw material to be consumed to feed the will of the few or the one. That is the machine-centered society that many of us will be returning to in the morning. But by keeping true to the Human Ecological Movement, our hope is to surpass The Machine. This electoral politics is merely one method, one tool among many to help free those of us, which is to say all of us, who are trapped in the belly of this horrible Machine."</blockquote><br />
<br />
On the morning of the general election, it was announced that Łudo Thalva had died peacefully overnight. Summarizing his life's work, the party newspaper, ''Lohmin'' said, "He entered the world to teach us. He leaves the world knowing we've learned how to teach others." Following a brief meeting among the branch party officers, it was agreed to create a National Coordinating Committee to distribute the role of leadership among the party branches.<br />
<br />
=== Throne Loyalists campaign ===<br />
The Throne Loyalists' campaign began late, as the party was still in shock and grief over the death of its leader, [[Chrysostom Wythe]]. But once started, it had a conservative message of support of the status quo: <br />
* Support of the Carta Ayreonica (no constitutional review)<br />
* Loyalty to the Kaiseress and the Ayreon-Kalirion dynasty (a thinly veiled anti-Verionist and anti-republican message)<br />
* Support of the Raspur Pact (in opposition to the Verionists and MSM)<br />
<br />
These were the party's red lines. It would enter no coalition with any party unless the above three points were inshrined in the coalition agreement.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the party continued on nostalgia for [[Chrysostom Wythe]] and his work of keeping the country united and ever-growing. In continuing on this message, the Association wished for some reforms:<br />
* Tax reform (make tax fairer)<br />
* Better conditions for the lowest classes<br />
* Extension of peerage to more nobles<br />
* Extension of nobility to more commoners<br />
* Expanded military with expanded military service, as well as a civil service in parallel<br />
<br />
In foreign affairs, the party pushed for a bigger voice of Shireroth on the international arena, within the Raspur Pact, and outside of it. The party made it clear that no land would leave Shireroth, but that Shireroth should always be welcome to assimilate other lands (former Shirerithian and other lands) as has always been the Shirerithian way.<br />
<br />
Targetting people living in border areas, the Association pushed for continued open borders with RP countries, but also with working for better border crossings and trade opportunities with non-RP countries, such as Sanama, Çakaristan, Tellia, and Mercury.<br />
<br />
Following the burning of Jing effigies by the Humanist campaigners, the Throne Loyalists accused the Humanists of flirting with genocide, and that no government in Shireroth could seat a humanist unless the humanists collectively make away with all their genocidal tendencies and anti-human rhetoric, and make amends, and apologise to those hurt by the humanist campaigns.<br />
*A Throne Loyalist member in [[Shirekeep]] subsequently reported being headbutted outside a bar by a gentlemen sporting a Humanist "red hand" lapel badge.<br />
<br />
=== Imperial Democratic Party of Shireroth campaign ===<br />
{{Main|1723 Shirerithian general elections/1723 Imperial Democratic Party general election campaign}}<br />
{{See also|Imperial Democratic Party (Shireroth)}}<br />
The "Forward with Unity - Empowering Shireroth" campaign began on XX.XX.{{AN|1723}}, at the [[1723 IDP National Convention]], which was broadcast across the radio and television in [[Shireroth]]. The [[1723 IDP National Convention]] focused on using its airtime to tailor the message of the IDP to the national audience and promote its leadership, Leader [[Naïs Szodarvs]] and Deputy Leader [[Tian Huiqing]]. The Convention served as the official launch of the campaign and of [[Imperial_Democratic_Party_(Shireroth)#Policy_platform|the new party platform]], titled "''[[One Shireroth for All, All for One Shireroth]]''". Led by Party Leader [[Naïs Szodarvs]] and Deputy Leader [[Tian Huiqing]], the IDP launched its campaign in seven states initially, before expanding into all of [[Shireroth]]. The campaign initially started operations in the states of Modan, Sahrati, Blackrock, Audentior, Batavia, Brookshire, and in the city of [[Shirekeep]], building campaign infrastructure that engaged the grassroots, local political movements, as well as businesses and social organizations. From the start of the campaign on in XX.XX.{{AN|1723}} through XX.XX.{{AN|1723}}, the IDP campaign focused its campaign development and outreach on previously listed states until it opened new campaigns in all of the remaining Shirerithian states.<br />
<br />
The IDP campaign suffered of several setbacks, such as low financing, dropping polling numbers, and a nationally broadcast [[1723 IDP National Convention|national convention]] that did not yield any benefit electorally leading up to the election date. The IDP, bereft of financing and initial support, enacted a guerilla strategy that was barebones and focused on tailoring the [[Imperial Democratic Party (Shireroth)|IDP]]'s [[Imperial_Democratic_Party_(Shireroth)#Policy_platform| policy platform]] to resonate with key states, communities, and groups in Shireroth. The campaign sought to create a harmonious balance between celebrating cultural diversity and promoting a unified national identity for [[Shireroth]], while also addressing unique regional concerns that come with every state of [[Shireroth]]. The strategy that was followed was that local candidates would champion the IDP's platform, connecting with voters on a personal level, ensuring that the party's vision for the nation's development is communicated with clarity and conviction. Under the experienced leadership of [[Naïs Szodarvs]] and the dedicated support of Deputy Leader [[Tian Huiqing]], the campaign aims to create an inclusive and inspiring movement that embodies the motto "''One Shireroth for All, All for One Shireroth''."<br />
<br />
=== Vanguard for National Rewakening Campaign ===<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Free Beer.png|220px|thumb|right|The Vanguard chose some effective and unusual campaigning strategies]]<br />
[[File:AldricVanic.png|220px|thumb|right|The Vanguard campaign was mainly directed against the Humanists and the IDP, the latter of which was consistently referred to as the ''Imperial Vanic Party'' due to the past links of founder Aldric with the Vanic usurpers.]]<br />
The campaign for the [[Vanguard for National Rewakening]] consisted of a mix of political advertising, campaign rally's, visiting voters, and especially utilising the vast network of post-Verionist political actors and movements throughout the country. Significant effort was spent in the Verionist strongholds of Brookshire, Shirekeep, Skyla and in the promising lands of Modan and Guttuli, in which Verionist powers had a historically strong presence. Vanguard officials, most notably [[Tobias Wythe]] and party leader Ludwig Lewis toured the country on the ''Grand Tour to Counter the Vanic and Raspurid threat''. Political attacks were focussed on the main rival, the National Humanist Coalition who were consistently battered and slammed for threatening the peace of the Shirithian lands by entering Brookshire and Shirekeep with an armed force and 12 so-called evangelists, who were in fact nothing more than rabble-rousing charlatans. The recently reformed Imperial Democratic Party was also mercilessly attacked for the ties of Hartmund Aldric with the Vanic regime, and were consistently referred to as the Imperial Vanic Party in Vanguard propaganda and speeches. On hearing that the IDP had chosen the Verionists as their main opponent for the campaign, strategist Edelhard Kalorion remarked ''everything that comes out of the IDP that shows that we are 100% opposed to them is eventually propaganda for us, no matter how hard they try'''. In addition, the Vanguard funded a massive reprinting of the famed Shirekeep Vindicator exposé on Aldric's lewd relationship with the former Vanic dictator of Shireroth. <br />
<br />
====Grand Tour to Counter the Vanic and Raspurid Threat====<br />
<br />
The Grand Tour to Counter the Vanic and Raspurid Threat visited the large majority of Shireroth's circles. Below is an overview of subdivisions visited, as well as the main points of campaign. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
! Division !! Subdivision !! Number of Rallies and Campaign Events !! Main Campaigning points and highlights<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan=4 | [[Shirekeep]] || Inner City || 1.195 || The Inner City turned Black and White on most days, with the Vanguard not only hosting rallies, speeches and campaign events, but also sponsored lavish banquets and took care of providing free beer throughout the city. The Shirekeep City Guard, a largely Verionist organisation, was also active in properly motivating people to vote for the Vanguard.<br />
|-<br />
| Northshire South || 391 || Most of the rallies to the North of the city were done in relation to the threat caused by the Humanist "prophets". The Vanguard provided the locals with the means to defend themselves against the armed guards accompanying the Raspurid charlatans.<br />
|-<br />
| Lichkeep || 421 || In Lichkeep, the Vanguard took especially care to underscore the good relationship that Verionism has had with the lawful government of Shireroth. Especially the return to a 100-day rule and respect for the Imperial Republic's ancient precepts and the nobility were highlighted. Furthermore, the Humanist' record when it came to the rights for non-humans were highlighted, as well as the IDP's association with this deeply racist party.<br />
|-<br />
| Cabbagefall || 120 || Similar sentiments to the above were uttered. Focus on security and rule of law.<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="6"| [[Brookshire]] || Woodshire Circle || 733 || In Brookshire as a whole, the Vanguard again showed its track record of siding with the lawful government and being a stronghold against Vanic influences. It warned for the "wolf in sheep's clothing", the IDP. In addition, it showcased the appaling record of the Humanists, and stated that "one only needs to look across the border to see the ruin, slavery and despair that a Humanist leadership will bring to Brookshire's pastures". Additionally, the Vanguard made special effort to reach the [[Elfinshi]] communities that had escaped the Benacian Union, citing the Verionist link to Elfinishi progenitor [[Elu Verion]], and their record in protecting the Elfinshi rights in Elwynn against the oppression of the Humanists, and their IDP allies. <br />
|-<br />
| Maltenstein Circle || 691 || In addition to the above, in Maltenstein the Vanguard also highlighted their support for Kaiseress Salome, and the ties of the House of Verion with the House of Ayreon-Kalirion.<br />
|-<br />
| Schwinn Circle || 530 || The Vanguard hosted tours to the Shireroth-Benacian borders, showing the vast difference in development between the free Shireroth and the enslaved Benacians. It warned "this can be your future, if the wrong choice is made". <br />
|-<br />
| Dolorous Circle || 291 || <br />
|-<br />
| Fortis Circle || 353 || In the two circles bordering the old Verionist republic, the Vanguard accused the Humanist infiltrators of causing the demise of the Republic in the Great Disaster, and countered the "appaling lies" of the IDP, stating that the IDP in Ransenar has "taken the once free citizens of Goldshire hostage, and delivered them to the Benacian dictatorship". The fact that the IDP had betrayed the citizens of Goldshire was a strong point in the propaganda of the Vanguard. <br />
|-<br />
| Crestfall Circle || 400 || talking points were similar to Fortis circle. <br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Draconia]] || 371 || In Draconia, the Vanguard warned gravely against the influence of the Humanist party. Its main point was that the Raspur membership had put a "smothering blanket" on the Drak, and has "enslaved Natopia and the Drak against their own interest". The vanguard urged the Drak to "set free, and chose your own future in a Shireroth of liberty". <br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="5"| [[Modan]] || Kizshire || 391 || Throughout Modan, the Vanguard applauded the citizens for "choosing freedom" in the overthrow of the Supremacist state and warned the Modanese to "not let evil enter again" by voting for "the Humanist and their spawn (IDP)". The Vanguard showed its support for the "brave warriors of MILF" who "overthrew your shackles", but also stated that "for the future, a strong Shirithian movement is needed to fully protect the Modanese interests" and promised to uphold their fight against oppression. <br />
|-<br />
| Capeshire || 731 || During a mass tour of Capeshire, the above talking points were frequently repeated. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Shimmerspring]] || 120 || In Shimmerspring, the evils of the Humanist oppression of the free peoples of the Garden were brought forward, and the strong Verionist alliance with the [[Kalgachia|Kalgachi]] was frequently mentioned.<br />
|-<br />
| Sehmlshire || 154 || Similar to Kizshire and Capeshire.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Thanatos]] || 161 || Similar to the above, the local chapter of the Vanguard clogged the airwaves with anti-Humanist and IDP propaganda messages.<br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Highpass]] || 2 || The Vanguard spent only very limited resources in Highpass<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="4"| [[Sathrati]] || [[Yardistan]] || 1.209 || The Vanguard organised ''Crusade for Liberty'' rallies, in which the Yardistani oppression by Humanists was invoked, and pledged that Yardistan would never again be under the crushing hand of a Humanist dictatorship. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Mirioth]] || 290 || In Mirioth, the Vanguard painted itself as the protector of Shireroth's past and cultural heritage, and underscored the importance of religious freedom stating that ''the Vanguard remains the only real force in Shirerithian politics that is committed to free worship for all, and that preserves the heritage of the cults and churches of the great Republic era''. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Amity]] || 79 || In Amity, the Vanguard faced some hostility from Raspur military forces, which they took as a showcase of what would happen in the future, were Raspur to continue to have a strong grip on Shireroth. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Zy-Rodun]] || 10 || Similar to Amity<br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Skyla]] || 210 || Titus Morvayne, now a very old man and still popular in Skyla, appeared in public during several rallies that reminded the residents of Skyla of the time when they truly were the seat of Imperial Power in the country. <br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3"| [[Guttuli]] || Near || 391 || In Guttuli, the Vanguard stressed their commitment to "traditional values", and similarly to Brookshire, the Vanguard accused the Humanist infiltrators of causing the demise of the neighbouring Verionist Republic in the Great Disaster, and countered the "appaling lies" of the IDP, stating that the IDP in Ransenar has "taken the once free citizens of Goldshire hostage, and delivered them to the Benacian dictatorship". The fact that the IDP had betrayed the citizens of Goldshire was repeated in the border province of Guttuli as well.<br />
|-<br />
| Far || 120 || largely similar to the above<br />
|-<br />
| Coastal || 310 || Aside from the above, in Coastal Guttuli, the Verionist focus on free trade was higlighted, promising to ''Make Musica Great Again'' as a harbour and hub of commerce.<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3"| [[Kezan]] || Eleutherios and Akis || 0 || The Vanguard did not campaign in Kezan<br />
|-<br />
| Ossium || 0 || The Vanguard did not campaign in Kezan<br />
|-<br />
| [[Hawshire Free State]] || 2 || The Vanguard did not spend many resources in Hawshire, instead urging citizens to "vote local, and against the Humanist threat"<br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Sagittarius]] || 80 || The Vanguard campaigned mainly against Humanist influences, and promised Sagittarius a "new era of prosperity" with the plans for extended trade and free commerce troughout the South.<br />
|-<br />

Also, they showed their support for free trade, especially in the coast, taking the example of the Jacian Federation as an initiative of Verionist quality, that brought prosperity to the coast. <br />

==== Alrig (1) ====<br />
<br />
With support from the local Democrats for Alrig party (not contesting the imperial elections), the Imperial Democratic Party increased its voter share by 37 percentage points. The MSM saw some decrease. The humanists lost almost their entire voter base in Alrig, and the Throne Loyalists had their share of votes halved.<br />
<br />
As such, Alrig's only seat changed hands – from the MSM to the IDP.<br />

==== Audentior (70)====<br />
<br />
In Audentior, commoners favoured the ruling MSM party by increasing its majority with 8 percentage points. The greatest success was found among the Imperial Democrats who trebled their voting share and Folksraad delegation. The Vanguard made a nice début, catching almost 10% of the voting share, with the début of the NMHE going almost as well. The Humanists and Throne Loyalists suffered the most, losing together 23 of their 29 incumbent seats.<br />

==== Camoleo (1) ====<br />
<br />
In Camoleo, where the commoners elected 1 representative, it appeared voters did not trust the Throne Loyalists or the Humanists to be close to securing a seat. Thus, these parties were deserted in favour of the MSM and IDP. In the end, the MSM held on to their seat (with Verionist support). The humanist vote plummeted, likely due to the anti-Jing rhetoric from the party.<br />

==== Dalmacija (62) ====<br />
<br />
In Dalmacija, the humanists' stronghold on Apollonia, the Coalition for Imperial Humanism decreased its voter share by 43.43 percentage points. While this is still not as bad as it could have been, the Humanists' anti-Jing rhetoric, interpreted more broadly also as anti-Apollonian, caused the party to suffer a large decrease. Instead, the MSM made significant gains, close to a majority of all votes, while the IDP, the NMHE, and the Verionists made good gains here too. The Throne Loyalists, similar to many parts of the Empire, had a confusing message that did not help voters vote for them. Throne Loyalist supporters tended to go MSM, IDP or Vanguard. <br />

==== Kezan (12) ====<br />
<br />
Kezanese elections, per usual, consists of one primary election (which imperial list to vote for) and one secondary election (within each imperial list, which Kezanese list to vote for). Usually, this leads to an imperial delegation of almost all from the Hawshire and Kezan Joint Lists, but in the last election, the MSM managed to squeeze in one seat. In this election, the humanists, too, managed to get a seat (while the MSM held on to theirs).<br />

====Sagittarius (1) ====<br />
<br />
The commoners of Sagittarius, mainly military officers of lower grade and some civil servants and family members of military personnel, elected 1 representative. Their vote was largely split three-way, with approximately one third supporting the IDP, one third the humanists, and one third the Verionists.<br />
<br />
The military has generally awkward feelings about the Verionists, with distrust stemming from the latter decades of the 17th century, and a general humanist alignment of the culture of the forces. The humanists, however, alienated many voters who were not from the Benacian continent, causing thus the IDP to become some kind of "middle-ground" pro-RP inclusive party.<br />
<br />
The Throne Loyalists lost their one seat and almost all their voter base, as, in the station campaign, it had become the consensus and general feeling that the Throne Loyalists would not be able to win at all. Thus their supporters went to either the IDP or the Humanists, with some, also, going to the Verionists.<br />

====Sathrati (186) ====<br />
<br />
In Sathrati, the humanists increased their voter share, while the local parties Socialist Union of Yardistan and the Yardistani Annexation Corps were completely annihilated. The humanist campaign in Sathrati was violent, and there were reports of voter intimidation, but the local authorities there, having made the investigation, found that the election in Sathrati was fully free and fair. As evidence of this, local authorities point to the IDP doubling its voter share, the Vanguard making significant gains, and one-third higher voter share in the MSM compared to the last election. <br />

====Shirekeep (80) ====<br />
<br />
In Shirekeep, Shireroth's capital, commoners chose to increase humanist voter share. The Verionist return to Shirekeep proved popular with voters, particularly with the Verionist association with the Shirekeep Guard. However, the IDP doubled its voting share and representation in the Shirekeep delegation as well, and the NMHE almost doubled its share. The Reform Society and Throne Loyalists plummeted, their parties believed by voters to serve little purpose in an increased fractional political landscape.<br />

====Skyla (1) ====<br />
<br />
In Skyla, the commoners elected as their sole representative, a VNR delegate (with thanks to the VNR–MSM alliance and general Verionist nostalgia in the islands). The Humanists' Benacian campaign saw their support increase by almost one half, while the IDP campaigns saw the IDP increasing their voting share several times over. The Throne Loyalists appeared to have lost most their voters, as the party seemed unlikely to join any kind of government given its red lines. Moreover, the aura of Chrysostom Wythe had settled, with the party appearing anonymous to voters.<br />

====Talenore (13) ====<br />
<br />
In Talenore, changes for the Folksraad were not dramatic. The NDP, thanks to its alliance with the MSM, increased its voting share and gained one seat. Two imperial parties, the NMHE and Vanguard, took part in the election, though, only the NMHE managed to receive the voters' confidence of representation.<br />
<br />
The Humanist List, a party independent of, but allied with, the wider Shirerithian humanist movement, took advantage of the pro-Babkhi, anti-Jing image of the humanist campaigns in Benacia, placating to the Babkhi plurality on the island, by doubling their voting share and Folksraad representation.<br />

In Xianbei, like in most of Apollonia, the humanists lost almost all their support. Here, they also lost their representation. A few thousand votes more, and they would have kept 1 seat.

=== Raspur Pact Parliamentary Assembly ===<br />
<br />
Shireroth was apportioned 252 seats. The seats are not directly elected, but indirectly. 75 of the seats will be apportioned in proportion to results of the election to the Adelsraad, and 170 seats in proportion to the results of the election to the Folksraad. The Landsraad will fill the remaining 7 seats.<br />
<br />
== Aftermath and government formation ==<br />
<br />
While the incumbent government coalition (UR–MSM–(Vanguard)–TL–IDP–CMP–NDP–PB) increased its majority in both Adelsraad (119/150) and Folksraad (618/1000) considerably, the continuance of that kind of coalition appeared, already in the campaign stage, as unlikely, due to the split of the parties on matters on the Raspur Pact – the Vanguard and MSM being anti-RP and the IDP vehemently pro-RP (the TL also pro-RP).<br />
<br />
As such, Thuylemans faced the prospects of trying to build a smaller coalition of the core parties of UR–MSM–CMP–NDP–PB – which in the Adelsraad would have a majority (78/150) but not in the Folksraad (457/1000). Thuylemans entered preliminary talks with the leadership of the [[National Movement for Human Ecology]], but was left more confused about the NMHE programme after the talks than before them. There were some fruitful discussions with the Throne Loyalists – a potential joining of them into the coalition would, however, not create a majority. The Throne Loyalists, known to be close to [[Kaiser]]ess [[Salome]], and loyal to her opinions, would be a useful ally in the coalition, but due to their loss of support in the elections, their joining would not help Thuylemans secure a majority. But the Throne Loyalists did hint that a compromise on the matter of the Raspur Pact might be possible. <br />
<br />
Reinvigorated, Thuylemans had a private audience with the Kaiseress where he discussed his options. Pointedly, she did not ask Thuylemans to resign as Steward (and become a demissionary steward during the government coalition). This gave further confidence to Thuylemans to keep exploring a majority.<br />
<br />
If he could not secure the loyalty of the NMHE, he considered negotiating further with the TL and the Modanese parties (one of the MILFS, and the Draconic People's Party) as well as with the Laqi People's Party (the Kaiseress is known to be held in high regard by the Laqs). <br />
<br />
Still, things were difficult for Thuylemans, as even in negotiations with new parties, he still needed to negotiate with his already partners, due to the balance between them having been changed. <br />
<br />
With the new Folksraad and Adelsraad to meet in the beginning of the next year (1724), he still had some time.<br />

General elections will be held throughout [[Shireroth]] on 1.VII.1723 for the Adelsraad and Folksraad, and, indirectly, also for the [[Raspur Pact Parliamentary Assembly]]. The last elections were held [[1717 Shirerithian general elections|in 1717]]. The elections coincided with the [[Floria–Shireroth diplomatic conflict]], debates about an increase of military funding, and growing criticism from the governing parties of the [[Raspur Pact]], and in particular the [[Benacian Union]]. In several cities, political campaigns were accompanied by demonstrations, or sometimes even riots, between non-Humanists and Humanist supporters. The Humanist campaign was hit hard - especially in the eastern Dominions, where it lost a lot of support after the burning of effigies of Jing. Nevertheless, the elections in general proceeded rather peaceful and with little real hiccups.<br />
<br />
The election saw record heights of people at the voting booths than ever before (over 20 million more voters), but saw a small percentual decline in people who went out to vote in comparison with the elections in 1717. It was followed by the [[1723 Shiro-Jing demonstrations]].<br />

===[[Coalition for Imperial Humanism]]===<br />
====[[Imperial Humanist Party of Greater Kildare]]====<br />
*Campaign commenced in [[Port Nevermore]] with ceremonies commemorating the 70th anniversary of the [[War of Lost Brothers]]. An occasion to examine and reflect upon the conflict which saw Kildarians forced to fight against their Benacian kindred in the furtherance of [[Jingdao]]'s aggressive policy against [[Floria]]. ''"The time has come to honestly assess the legacy of the [[Daocheng]] era, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. We must avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. We are all subjects of the [[Golden Mango Throne]], and Floria is our ally. Let us put the calamities of the past behind us."'' – [[Marius Gallo]]<br />
**In spite of these words of moderation (Floria was still perceived with distrust in the Eastern Imperium), Jing extremists were stirred up to attack Humanist political offices throughout [[Greater Kildare]], obliging the [[Talons of the Archon]] to return to the streets in order to defend the IHPGK's portfolio of properties as well as the lives of cadre members in the regional and national sector parties.<br />
<br />
*Marius Gallo attended a rally of national and regional sector cadres in [[Nigrad]], where the crowd comprised of members of the [[Humanist Vanguard]] and the Association of Humanist Institutes of Greater Kildare. After an evening of light popular music and Kildari nationalist folksongs, Archon Gallo then addressed to the crowds a series of remarks which included the following: ''"Of course what we remember is truly disgraceful about the present government is its willing embrace, out of expediency, of the [[Vanguard for National Rewakening]]. That false Vanguard makes no bones about its intention to end dynastic rule. Has the peace and stability brought to us by the long rule of the blessed [[Salome]] taught them nothing? Instead they want to go back to the institutionalised chaos of the nobles in the [[Landsraad]] figuratively and literally knifing each other every three months in order to sit precariously upon the Golden Mango Throne! Do we wish for an oustfest massacre to occur in every duodecennial cycle? And what does Thuylemans have to say to this? Not a peep? He is so fixated upon the Benacians and the Florians that he willingly ignores the viper he has clasped to the very bosom of this realm! Once again, I remind you comrades of the national community - the Humanist Movement stands for the rule of natural order in all organic nations, and the dynastic succession in Shireroth is the manifestation of the continuity and stability upon which this Imperial Republic has endured all of its travails. We should not rush to set aside the hereditary principle which raised Shireroth up upon its embrace, just as the rejection of the same by the Jing ultimately saw their empire shamefully cast down. Whilst it was fortunate, in that it was what allowed Kildare to once more arise to life and freedom, we must not permit the Thuylemans government to lead us into a new [[Decade of Inharmonious Regrets]]."'' <br />
**Steward Thuylemans' office responded not long after with the message that his party (the Ultraroyalisten) is well known for its pro-Kalirion views and would not do away with the dynasty which served the Imperial Republic well. The MSM too reconfirmed its commitment to the monarchy and the imperial family.<br />
*Following a day of Humanist Vanguard parades and stadium rallies in the Thanedom of Dalmajica, Jing nobles, their families, and retainers, endured episodes of being pelted with mud, stones, and rotting vegetables by Kildari youths. The rallies had expounded upon the depths of the suffering inflicted the Kildari race during the senseless [[War of Lost Brothers]], where they were forced to fight against their Shirerithian kin, and the atrocity that was the [[Obedience Destruction]]. That the Jing, who had been the cause of the death of millions of Kildari, pulled the strings of the present administration was highlighted to the populace as a concern far greater than any supposed Benacian or Florian threat.<br />
**Vox Pop from [[Port Nevermore]]: ''"The Kildari struggle to be free of the Jing is a matter of historical record. What difference would a token change in the far lords make for us when the near lords still draw breath."''<br />
<br />
====[[Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth]]====<br />
*[[1723 Humanist Preaching Tour]]<br />
*A number of banquets and entertainments were laid on in the counties of Brookshire, the expense paid for by voluntary contributions and generous donatives from the Honourable Company, during which the electors of the visited areas were plied with meat, beer, and cheeses, with the Humanist youth cadres attending upon them as servants for their needs, whilst, between musical interludes, the twelve apostles would hold forth from the podium decrying the iniquities of the current government, its failures of foreign policy, the systematic neglect of the Imperial Forces, its unreasoning hostility towards the Imperial Republic's true allies in the Benacian Union, and seeming willingness to burn bridges with historical partners such as Natopia and Constancia through the threatened abandonment of the Raspur Pact.<br />
* Alaric Stern, Captain-General of the [[Order of the Paladins]]: ''"To the Thuylemans administration, the [[Raspur Pact]], as the largest free trade bloc in the world, provides "precious few benefits". It is clear that, blinded by myopic paranoia about the Benacian Union, and covetous of recovering Elwynn and Goldshire - the aspiration of Thylemans' Verionist accomplices, the present administration aims for a decisive rupture with the most significant trading partners of the Imperial Republic. Blithely they assume that they can alienate [[Natopia]] and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]] and become "another [[Sanama]]" in perfect safety and without consequences. Indeed, it is apparent that, with the Jing and Verionists pulling the Batavian's strings, a pact with Sanama would be in the offing the moment they treacherously abandoned their former alignment. Such perfect neutrality! Do they seriously expect that peace in Benacia could long endure under such circumstances?"'' <br />
**[[Count Palatine of Mirioth and Amity]]: ''"It is clear from their internal debates, that the MSM is intent upon the disarmament of the states and the noble lords. For presentational reasons they have shied away from it on this occasion, but we can be sure that - on the first trumped up pretext - the impulse and the policy will return. To be sure, they will claim that it is for our safety, but with the monopoly of force vested in the Imperial centre will come tyranny, and with tyranny shall the seeds of a second and more terrible fracture be sown. To ward against that day, noble lords, I appeal to you to maintain your retinues in a state of readiness, and to lend your votes to the Humanist movement on this occasion."''<br />
*Amirah Nasreen, during a stadium rally held in [[Musica]], warned of the prohibitive tariffs on grain exports to Nouvelle Alexandrie and Natopia that would face the agricultural concerns of Brookshire and the Guttuli if Shireroth were to attempt to decouple itself from the world's single largest free trade area. To say nothing of the threat posed by commerce raiding if Shirerithian vessels could no longer sail with the [[trade fleets]], she added with an enigmatic smirk.<br />
*A [https://micras.org/wiki/images/d/dc/1723_MSM_Poster_4.png blasphemous poster] circulated by the MSM spread outrage amongst the [[Nazarene]] faithful. Something that Humanist cadres are only too keen to talk up. The worshippers of Sisera are the inevitable enemies of all rightly guided religions.<br />
*"It should be remembered that, for all the talk of the Benacian Union being oppressive, you have to fail pretty hard in life, or be actively disloyal, to wind up as a protected person. The Benacians are as pragmatic as we are, for are we not brotherly peoples after all. Consider the generous terms by which home rule was restored to the [[Sovereign Confederation]], or the liberties granted to [[Ransenar]] upon its accession. The Humanists do not target their own in peacetime, you'd have to look to the Jing and Verionists for that. And this holds true in Shireroth as much as it does in any other place. Remain loyal; loyal to the Pact, loyal to the Golden Mango Throne, loyal to Humanity, and all shall be well – the enduring peace of our times shall continue. Voters should remember that it is through the intercession of the Pact that Shireroth survived at all. The MSM and their UR appendage would like to claim the credit for the rebound that the security provided by the Pact provided for, and which Salome and the late great Steward Wythe took full advantage of."<br />

====Regional Sector Party Sathrati====<br />
<br />
*Refreshed and rejuvenated after an [[1723 Benacian Grand Tour of Eura|extended tour]] of [[Eura]], the [[Count of Erudition]] arrived in the isles and began a programme of touring, meeting with regional sector cadres, local landowners and notables, and attending upon the plantation owners of Amity and Mirioth with especial intention. On the recommendations of their employers, select foremen at each visited site were singled out for praise and awarded donatives for their diligence in supervising those under contractural obligation in the fields. The Count of Erudition affirmed at each stop on his tour that the hard working denizen was the bedrock of a sovereign Sathrati within the Imperial Republic. The subject of manumission for the unfree was raised, and the Humanist view that liberty, as freedom under the law, should be attainable by any subject capable of demonstrating merit when subject to evaluation by authority.<br />
<br />
*[[Nordagaat]] (Mirioth): A public parade and festival was held, during which effigies of the [[safir]], [[daemons]], and [[Jing]] were subjected to ritualistic scorn before being publicly burnt. Donatives were distributed amongst the crowd.<br />
**The event was broadcast on several television channels and met with heavy criticism. Many were shocked and there was great anger in the streets, both in Greater Kildare and in other parts of the realm. The largest television channels, [[Batavian Broadcasting Company]] and [[Union Jing Broadcast]], which until then had shown some form of neutrality and had broadcast political campaigns from all parties, announced a boycott of all Humanist-related politicians. Documentaries on the atrocities and war crimes of the [[Raspur Pact]] during the [[War of Lost Brothers]] and other campaigns were now widely broadcast on television. MSM representatives proclaimed in this action that their warnings to the Humanists were not unfounded. ''"A vote for Humanism is a vote for lynchings and mass murder. They are willing to do anything to put power in the hands of their foreign overlords and keep the Shirerithian people enslaved."''<br />
***Inexplicable technical difficulties caused a blackout of Batavian and Jing channels rebroadcast by transmission towers in the Sathrati Isles. In their place was a series of documentaries on the [[Obedience Destruction]], [[Jexit]], the crimes of the [[Tegong]], and the role that the worship of [[Sisera]] played in the [[Hurmu Genocide]]. The [[Council of Sathrati|local authorities]] referred all questions regarding the blackout back to the broadcasters themselves.<br />
**Vox Pop from a resident of Amity, widely circulated on social media: ''"Say what you will about the Pact, at least they never initiated a horror through [[Obedience Destruction|clerical error]]. Reckon we might as well stick with the Pact and support the Humanists - at least they only reserve their ire for traitors."''<br />
<br />
====Operation "Get Out the Vote"====<br />
<br />
The Coalition for Imperial Humanism embarked on a strategic initiative known as Operation "Get Out the Vote," aimed at mobilising its members and supporters to actively participate in the electoral process and ensure the success of the Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth and its counterpart in Greater Kildare. This operation involved the coordinated efforts of regional sector cadre officers and Humanist Vanguard squads, who rallied registered members to engage in door-to-door campaigns within their communities.<br />
<br />
The operation kicked off with a focused effort to muster registered members and supporters. These individuals were tasked with reaching out to fellow denizens, engaging in conversations about the importance of voting, and urging them to pledge their support to the Humanist movement. The goal was to encourage individuals to participate in the upcoming polls and contribute to the success of the Humanist parties.<br />
<br />
During their door-to-door campaigns, assembled denizens were provided with essential information about the election process. This included details about the date of the polls, the candidate lists, and any calumnies or false accusations that had been directed against the Humanist Movement. By addressing concerns and clarifying misconceptions, the campaign aimed to empower voters with accurate information.<br />
<br />
To solidify their commitment to the cause, attendees were requested to sign a covenant. This covenant, endorsed with both their signature and a symbolic thumbprint made with a pinprick of their own blood, signified their dedication to serving the movement in the upcoming twenty-four days leading up to and beyond the polls. It further bound them to follow instructions provided by their assigned cadre leaders and to fulfill their duties, including actively participating at the ballot box.<br />
<br />
The meetings also included practical guidance on personal safety and preparedness. Attendees were briefed by local branch security officers on sensible precautions to take, the contents to include in a bug-out bag, and specific instructions for members of the Humanist hunting and sporting associations. This emphasis on preparedness underscored the importance of being ready for a range of scenarios.<br />
<br />
Operation "Get Out the Vote" served as a call to action for members and supporters to actively contribute to the success of the Humanist movement. By engaging in meaningful conversations, fostering community engagement, and solidifying their commitment through covenants, participants played a vital role in amplifying the movement's impact and advocating for its ideals. The operation aimed to unify the efforts of individuals dedicated to a shared vision and inspire them to play an active role in shaping the future of Shireroth.<br />

===[[Mango-Strengthening Movement]] and [[Ultraroyalisten]]===<br />

[[File:1723 Blimp campaign.png|250px|thumb|right|In the last week before the elections, a 'campaign by blimps' was held above major cities of the Imperial Republic.]]<br />
*Several political parties joined forces in the smaller electoral districts in a desire to stop the Humanists from profiting from the division between the parties. These parties are: the Vanguard for National Rewakening, the Mango-Strengthening Movement, the Ultraroyalisten and Passibelend.<br />
*[[Mango-Strengthening Movement]] and [[Ultraroyalisten]]<br />
**Under [[Louis Thuylemans]], the MSM and UR kickstarted a campaign called "Thuylemans NOW" to keep their Steward in charge of the Imperial Republic. During the campaign, the focus was on two things: on the one hand, the threat of the Humanists was raised to appease the hawkish faction, but on the other - and this was mainly propagated by the strategists on Thuylemans' side - a focus was placed on the growing prosperity of the common citizen under the current administration. A vote for continued industrialization, improvement in living standards and the return of Shireroth to the international scene as a stable and neutral partner (possibly even apart from the Raspur Pact, should certain problems not be resolved), would mean a vote for the governing parties.<br />
**During the MSM party congress in 1723 AN, the representatives agreed that cooperating with the Humanist party would be impossible as long as they were perceived to handle in the interests of their masters in [[Chryse]]. The meddling of the [[Benacian Union]] was seen as a worrying and destabilizing factor.<br />
**The parties made extensive use of both radio and television to broadcast their message to the masses.<br />
**During the last week, the MSM launched a campaign not only by conquering the radio and television waves, but also through airships and blimps. Above every major Shirerithian city a blimp - fabricated by [[Gangtie Industries]] - was seen with the message urging the people to vote MSM.<br />

=== [[National Movement of Human Ecologists]] ===<br />
[[File:NMHE LifeIsLife.png|thumb]]<br />
[[File:NMHE One Vision.png|thumb]]<br />
[[File:NHME Arise.png|thumb|Jingdaoese-language propaganda distributed throughout Dalmacija, Xianbei, Jinkeai, Qaoshan, and Kildare.]]<br />
Following their respective regional conferences, where party officer elections were held, each branch of the National Movement of Human Ecologists affirmed the vision of Neo-Thalvaism. Thereafter, campaigning began within their jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
The order of business at each campaign rally outside of Brookshire:<br />
* A free avant-garde rock concert intended to evoke the liberatory principles of Human Ecology, the ways in which the Machine-Centered Society is destructive to the Human Spirit, and the need for a Machine-Destroying Machine to save Humanity<br />
* Polemic Speeches from branch party officers, appealing to them for their vote in the upcoming general elections so that they can compel the state to become a machine-destroying machine, but also to become an active participant in planting the garden that will bloom into the Human-Centered Society of tomorrow.<br />
* The Local Candidates, who give a short message of peace and an invitation for attendees to visit their local ecological community to learn how to become a better Gardener of the Human Spirit.<br />
* Conclusion with the party's campaign song, "Life is Life".<br />
<br />
Inside Brookshire, [[Łudo Thalva]] attends each campaign rally, and speaks a few minutes after each song about a specific problem affecting regular, common people today, and how painful it is to know that those problems are ignored by the people at the top. Branch party officers merely participate in introducing Thalva at the beginning of the rally, and at the very end, reminding people to vote for the National Movement of Human Ecologists.<br />

''Once the general election passed, the travelling band and retinue of party officers and campaign organizers decided to continue holding a modified form of rally thereafter, aimed at inspiring the development of new local ecological communities in Sichuan District.''<br />
<br />
==== Joint Campaign Rally at Hunjibetz ====<br />
<br />
During the last week before elections opened, branch party officers and Łudo Thalva gathered in the ruins of the Hunjibetz Estate. As supporters and inquirers came in by chartered train and bus, they were put to work to create a temporary Ecological Community there. This effort culminated with one last, highly unorthodox rally, nominally headed by Łudo Thalva but coordinated and kept on track by [[Ambrose Verreitzsch]] of the Guttuli Branch. The daylong rally featured ethereal ambient music and Łudo walking through the impromptu community, offering random people the microphone with the instruction to "share your pain, and gain strength from the sharing". At sunset, during supper, Łudo provided a benediction, telling people there that, in the morning, they will be returning home to their local towns and cities throughout southeastern Benacia, and that no matter how the election goes, they will have made an impact in the lives of others, and that this is has been the guiding principle upon which the Human Ecological Movement has always been based, but that some have forgotten over the years:<br />
<blockquote>"the human-centered society is not human-centered because we have ''Conquered The Machine'', it is human-centered because it is about one vulnerable heart connecting with another vulnerable heart, and the two creating something stronger in their bond than the mere sum of the individual parts. We are not components, raw material to be consumed to feed the will of the few or the one. That is the machine-centered society that many of us will be returning to in the morning. But by keeping true to the Human Ecological Movement, our hope is to surpass The Machine. This electoral politics is merely one method, one tool among many to help free those of us, which is to say all of us, who are trapped in the belly of this horrible Machine."</blockquote><br />
<br />
On the morning of the general election, it was announced that Łudo Thalva had died peacefully overnight. Summarizing his life's work, the party newspaper, ''Lohmin'' said, "He entered the world to teach us. He leaves the world knowing we've learned how to teach others." Following a brief meeting among the branch party officers, it was agreed to create a National Coordinating Committee to distribute the role of leadership among the party branches.<br />
<br />
=== Throne Loyalists campaign ===<br />
The Throne Loyalists' campaign began late, as the party was still in shock and grief over the death of its leader, [[Chrysostom Wythe]]. But once started, it had a conservative message of support of the status quo: <br />
* Support of the Carta Ayreonica (no constitutional review)<br />
* Loyalty to the Kaiseress and the Ayreon-Kalirion dynasty (a thinly veiled anti-Verionist and anti-republican message)<br />
* Support of the Raspur Pact (in opposition to the Verionists and MSM)<br />
<br />
These were the party's red lines. It would enter no coalition with any party unless the above three points were inshrined in the coalition agreement.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the party continued on nostalgia for [[Chrysostom Wythe]] and his work of keeping the country united and ever-growing. In continuing on this message, the Association wished for some reforms:<br />
* Tax reform (make tax fairer)<br />
* Better conditions for the lowest classes<br />
* Extension of peerage to more nobles<br />
* Extension of nobility to more commoners<br />
* Expanded military with expanded military service, as well as a civil service in parallel<br />
<br />
In foreign affairs, the party pushed for a bigger voice of Shireroth on the international arena, within the Raspur Pact, and outside of it. The party made it clear that no land would leave Shireroth, but that Shireroth should always be welcome to assimilate other lands (former Shirerithian and other lands) as has always been the Shirerithian way.<br />
<br />
Targetting people living in border areas, the Association pushed for continued open borders with RP countries, but also with working for better border crossings and trade opportunities with non-RP countries, such as Sanama, Çakaristan, Tellia, and Mercury.<br />
<br />
Following the burning of Jing effigies by the Humanist campaigners, the Throne Loyalists accused the Humanists of flirting with genocide, and that no government in Shireroth could seat a humanist unless the humanists collectively make away with all their genocidal tendencies and anti-human rhetoric, and make amends, and apologise to those hurt by the humanist campaigns.<br />
*A Throne Loyalist member in [[Shirekeep]] subsequently reported being headbutted outside a bar by a gentlemen sporting a Humanist "red hand" lapel badge.<br />
<br />
=== Imperial Democratic Party of Shireroth campaign ===<br />
{{Main|1723 Shirerithian general elections/1723 Imperial Democratic Party general election campaign}}<br />
{{See also|Imperial Democratic Party (Shireroth)}}<br />
The "Forward with Unity - Empowering Shireroth" campaign began on XX.XX.{{AN|1723}}, at the [[1723 IDP National Convention]], which was broadcast across the radio and television in [[Shireroth]]. The [[1723 IDP National Convention]] focused on using its airtime to tailor the message of the IDP to the national audience and promote its leadership, Leader [[Naïs Szodarvs]] and Deputy Leader [[Tian Huiqing]]. The Convention served as the official launch of the campaign and of [[Imperial_Democratic_Party_(Shireroth)#Policy_platform|the new party platform]], titled "''[[One Shireroth for All, All for One Shireroth]]''". Led by Party Leader [[Naïs Szodarvs]] and Deputy Leader [[Tian Huiqing]], the IDP launched its campaign in seven states initially, before expanding into all of [[Shireroth]]. The campaign initially started operations in the states of Modan, Sahrati, Blackrock, Audentior, Batavia, Brookshire, and in the city of [[Shirekeep]], building campaign infrastructure that engaged the grassroots, local political movements, as well as businesses and social organizations. From the start of the campaign on in XX.XX.{{AN|1723}} through XX.XX.{{AN|1723}}, the IDP campaign focused its campaign development and outreach on previously listed states until it opened new campaigns in all of the remaining Shirerithian states.<br />
<br />
The IDP campaign suffered of several setbacks, such as low financing, dropping polling numbers, and a nationally broadcast [[1723 IDP National Convention|national convention]] that did not yield any benefit electorally leading up to the election date. The IDP, bereft of financing and initial support, enacted a guerilla strategy that was barebones and focused on tailoring the [[Imperial Democratic Party (Shireroth)|IDP]]'s [[Imperial_Democratic_Party_(Shireroth)#Policy_platform| policy platform]] to resonate with key states, communities, and groups in Shireroth. The campaign sought to create a harmonious balance between celebrating cultural diversity and promoting a unified national identity for [[Shireroth]], while also addressing unique regional concerns that come with every state of [[Shireroth]]. The strategy that was followed was that local candidates would champion the IDP's platform, connecting with voters on a personal level, ensuring that the party's vision for the nation's development is communicated with clarity and conviction. Under the experienced leadership of [[Naïs Szodarvs]] and the dedicated support of Deputy Leader [[Tian Huiqing]], the campaign aims to create an inclusive and inspiring movement that embodies the motto "''One Shireroth for All, All for One Shireroth''."<br />
<br />
=== Vanguard for National Rewakening Campaign ===<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Free Beer.png|220px|thumb|right|The Vanguard chose some effective and unusual campaigning strategies]]<br />
[[File:AldricVanic.png|220px|thumb|right|The Vanguard campaign was mainly directed against the Humanists and the IDP, the latter of which was consistently referred to as the ''Imperial Vanic Party'' due to the past links of founder Aldric with the Vanic usurpers.]]<br />
The campaign for the [[Vanguard for National Rewakening]] consisted of a mix of political advertising, campaign rally's, visiting voters, and especially utilising the vast network of post-Verionist political actors and movements throughout the country. Significant effort was spent in the Verionist strongholds of Brookshire, Shirekeep, Skyla and in the promising lands of Modan and Guttuli, in which Verionist powers had a historically strong presence. Vanguard officials, most notably [[Tobias Wythe]] and party leader Ludwig Lewis toured the country on the ''Grand Tour to Counter the Vanic and Raspurid threat''. Political attacks were focussed on the main rival, the National Humanist Coalition who were consistently battered and slammed for threatening the peace of the Shirithian lands by entering Brookshire and Shirekeep with an armed force and 12 so-called evangelists, who were in fact nothing more than rabble-rousing charlatans. The recently reformed Imperial Democratic Party was also mercilessly attacked for the ties of Hartmund Aldric with the Vanic regime, and were consistently referred to as the Imperial Vanic Party in Vanguard propaganda and speeches. On hearing that the IDP had chosen the Verionists as their main opponent for the campaign, strategist Edelhard Kalorion remarked ''everything that comes out of the IDP that shows that we are 100% opposed to them is eventually propaganda for us, no matter how hard they try'''. In addition, the Vanguard funded a massive reprinting of the famed Shirekeep Vindicator exposé on Aldric's lewd relationship with the former Vanic dictator of Shireroth. <br />
<br />
====Grand Tour to Counter the Vanic and Raspurid Threat====<br />
<br />
The Grand Tour to Counter the Vanic and Raspurid Threat visited the large majority of Shireroth's circles. Below is an overview of subdivisions visited, as well as the main points of campaign. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
! Division !! Subdivision !! Number of Rallies and Campaign Events !! Main Campaigning points and highlights<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan=4 | [[Shirekeep]] || Inner City || 1.195 || The Inner City turned Black and White on most days, with the Vanguard not only hosting rallies, speeches and campaign events, but also sponsored lavish banquets and took care of providing free beer throughout the city. The Shirekeep City Guard, a largely Verionist organisation, was also active in properly motivating people to vote for the Vanguard.<br />
|-<br />
| Northshire South || 391 || Most of the rallies to the North of the city were done in relation to the threat caused by the Humanist "prophets". The Vanguard provided the locals with the means to defend themselves against the armed guards accompanying the Raspurid charlatans.<br />
|-<br />
| Lichkeep || 421 || In Lichkeep, the Vanguard took especially care to underscore the good relationship that Verionism has had with the lawful government of Shireroth. Especially the return to a 100-day rule and respect for the Imperial Republic's ancient precepts and the nobility were highlighted. Furthermore, the Humanist' record when it came to the rights for non-humans were highlighted, as well as the IDP's association with this deeply racist party.<br />
|-<br />
| Cabbagefall || 120 || Similar sentiments to the above were uttered. Focus on security and rule of law.<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="6"| [[Brookshire]] || Woodshire Circle || 733 || In Brookshire as a whole, the Vanguard again showed its track record of siding with the lawful government and being a stronghold against Vanic influences. It warned for the "wolf in sheep's clothing", the IDP. In addition, it showcased the appaling record of the Humanists, and stated that "one only needs to look across the border to see the ruin, slavery and despair that a Humanist leadership will bring to Brookshire's pastures". Additionally, the Vanguard made special effort to reach the [[Elfinshi]] communities that had escaped the Benacian Union, citing the Verionist link to Elfinishi progenitor [[Elu Verion]], and their record in protecting the Elfinshi rights in Elwynn against the oppression of the Humanists, and their IDP allies. <br />
|-<br />
| Maltenstein Circle || 691 || In addition to the above, in Maltenstein the Vanguard also highlighted their support for Kaiseress Salome, and the ties of the House of Verion with the House of Ayreon-Kalirion.<br />
|-<br />
| Schwinn Circle || 530 || The Vanguard hosted tours to the Shireroth-Benacian borders, showing the vast difference in development between the free Shireroth and the enslaved Benacians. It warned "this can be your future, if the wrong choice is made". <br />
|-<br />
| Dolorous Circle || 291 || <br />
|-<br />
| Fortis Circle || 353 || In the two circles bordering the old Verionist republic, the Vanguard accused the Humanist infiltrators of causing the demise of the Republic in the Great Disaster, and countered the "appaling lies" of the IDP, stating that the IDP in Ransenar has "taken the once free citizens of Goldshire hostage, and delivered them to the Benacian dictatorship". The fact that the IDP had betrayed the citizens of Goldshire was a strong point in the propaganda of the Vanguard. <br />
|-<br />
| Crestfall Circle || 400 || talking points were similar to Fortis circle. <br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Draconia]] || 371 || In Draconia, the Vanguard warned gravely against the influence of the Humanist party. Its main point was that the Raspur membership had put a "smothering blanket" on the Drak, and has "enslaved Natopia and the Drak against their own interest". The vanguard urged the Drak to "set free, and chose your own future in a Shireroth of liberty". <br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="5"| [[Modan]] || Kizshire || 391 || Throughout Modan, the Vanguard applauded the citizens for "choosing freedom" in the overthrow of the Supremacist state and warned the Modanese to "not let evil enter again" by voting for "the Humanist and their spawn (IDP)". The Vanguard showed its support for the "brave warriors of MILF" who "overthrew your shackles", but also stated that "for the future, a strong Shirithian movement is needed to fully protect the Modanese interests" and promised to uphold their fight against oppression. <br />
|-<br />
| Capeshire || 731 || During a mass tour of Capeshire, the above talking points were frequently repeated. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Shimmerspring]] || 120 || In Shimmerspring, the evils of the Humanist oppression of the free peoples of the Garden were brought forward, and the strong Verionist alliance with the [[Kalgachia|Kalgachi]] was frequently mentioned.<br />
|-<br />
| Sehmlshire || 154 || Similar to Kizshire and Capeshire.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Thanatos]] || 161 || Similar to the above, the local chapter of the Vanguard clogged the airwaves with anti-Humanist and IDP propaganda messages.<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| rowspan="4"| [[Sathrati]] || [[Yardistan]] || 1.209 || The Vanguard organised ''Crusade for Liberty'' rallies, in which the Yardistani oppression by Humanists was invoked, and pledged that Yardistan would never again be under the crushing hand of a Humanist dictatorship. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Mirioth]] || 290 || In Mirioth, the Vanguard painted itself as the protector of Shireroth's past and cultural heritage, and underscored the importance of religious freedom stating that ''the Vanguard remains the only real force in Shirerithian politics that is committed to free worship for all, and that preserves the heritage of the cults and churches of the great Republic era''. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Amity]] || 79 || In Amity, the Vanguard faced some hostility from Raspur military forces, which they took as a showcase of what would happen in the future, were Raspur to continue to have a strong grip on Shireroth. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Zy-Rodun]] || 10 || Similar to Amity<br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Skyla]] || 210 || Titus Morvayne, now a very old man and still popular in Skyla, appeared in public during several rallies that reminded the residents of Skyla of the time when they truly were the seat of Imperial Power in the country. <br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3"| [[Guttuli]] || Near || 391 || In Guttuli, the Vanguard stressed their commitment to "traditional values", and similarly to Brookshire, the Vanguard accused the Humanist infiltrators of causing the demise of the neighbouring Verionist Republic in the Great Disaster, and countered the "appaling lies" of the IDP, stating that the IDP in Ransenar has "taken the once free citizens of Goldshire hostage, and delivered them to the Benacian dictatorship". The fact that the IDP had betrayed the citizens of Goldshire was repeated in the border province of Guttuli as well.<br />
|-<br />
| Far || 120 || largely similar to the above<br />
|-<br />
| Coastal || 310 || Aside from the above, in Coastal Guttuli, the Verionist focus on free trade was higlighted, promising to ''Make Musica Great Again'' as a harbour and hub of commerce.<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3"| [[Kezan]] || Eleutherios and Akis || 0 || The Vanguard did not campaign in Kezan<br />
|-<br />
| Ossium || 0 || The Vanguard did not campaign in Kezan<br />
|-<br />
| [[Hawshire Free State]] || 2 || The Vanguard did not spend many resources in Hawshire, instead urging citizens to "vote local, and against the Humanist threat"<br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Sagittarius]] || 80 || The Vanguard campaigned mainly against Humanist influences, and promised Sagittarius a "new era of prosperity" with the plans for extended trade and free commerce troughout the South.<br />
|-<br />
| colspan="2"| [[Batavia]] || 102 || Campaigning in Batavia was limited to the cities of 's-Koningenwaarde and Davignon, urging the rest of the country to vote local. <br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="2"|Jingdao || [[Dazijin]] || 40 || Campaigning in Jingdao focussed on painting the Vanguard as "the true anti-Raspur party". <br />
|-<br />
| [[Far Eastern Territory]] || 31 || Similar to the above<br />
|-<br />

In addition, they hearkened back to the Kildari independence, noting how the Verionist were the only faction that supported to continue the union between Shireroth and Kildare, whereas the Humanists and Democrats only were too happy to see Kildare go. Also, they showed their support for free trade, especially in the coast, taking the example of the Jacian Federation as an initiative of Verionist quality, that brought prosperity to the coast. <br />

==== Alrig (1) ====<br />
<br />
With support from the local Democrats for Alrig party (not contesting the imperial elections), the Imperial Democratic Party increased its voter share by 37 percentage points. The MSM saw some decrease. The humanists lost almost their entire voter base in Alrig, and the Throne Loyalists had their share of votes halved.<br />
<br />
As such, Alrig's only seat changed hands – from the MSM to the IDP.<br />

==== Audentior (70)====<br />
<br />
In Audentior, commoners favoured the ruling MSM party by increasing its majority with 8 percentage points. The greatest success was found among the Imperial Democrats who trebled their voting share and Folksraad delegation. The Vanguard made a nice début, catching almost 10% of the voting share, with the début of the NMHE going almost as well. The Humanists and Throne Loyalists suffered the most, losing together 23 of their 29 incumbent seats.<br />

==== Camoleo (1) ====<br />
<br />
In Camoleo, where the commoners elected 1 representative, it appeared voters did not trust the Throne Loyalists or the Humanists to be close to securing a seat. Thus, these parties were deserted in favour of the MSM and IDP. In the end, the MSM held on to their seat (with Verionist support). The humanist vote plummeted, likely due to the anti-Jing rhetoric from the party.<br />

==== Dalmacija (62) ====<br />
<br />
In Dalmacija, the humanists' stronghold on Apollonia, the Coalition for Imperial Humanism decreased its voter share by 43.43 percentage points. While this is still not as bad as it could have been, the Humanists' anti-Jing rhetoric, interpreted more broadly also as anti-Apollonian, caused the party to suffer a large decrease. Instead, the MSM made significant gains, close to a majority of all votes, while the IDP, the NMHE, and the Verionists made good gains here too. The Throne Loyalists, similar to many parts of the Empire, had a confusing message that did not help voters vote for them. Throne Loyalist supporters tended to go MSM, IDP or Vanguard. <br />

==== Kezan (12) ====<br />
<br />
Kezanese elections, per usual, consists of one primary election (which imperial list to vote for) and one secondary election (within each imperial list, which Kezanese list to vote for). Usually, this leads to an imperial delegation of almost all from the Hawshire and Kezan Joint Lists, but in the last election, the MSM managed to squeeze in one seat. In this election, the humanists, too, managed to get a seat (while the MSM held on to theirs).<br />

====Sagittarius (1) ====<br />
<br />
The commoners of Sagittarius, mainly military officers of lower grade and some civil servants and family members of military personnel, elected 1 representative. Their vote was largely split three-way, with approximately one third supporting the IDP, one third the humanists, and one third the Verionists.<br />
<br />
The military has generally awkward feelings about the Verionists, with distrust stemming from the latter decades of the 17th century, and a general humanist alignment of the culture of the forces. The humanists, however, alienated many voters who were not from the Benacian continent, causing thus the IDP to become some kind of "middle-ground" pro-RP inclusive party.<br />
<br />
The Throne Loyalists lost their one seat and almost all their voter base, as, in the station campaign, it had become the consensus and general feeling that the Throne Loyalists would not be able to win at all. Thus their supporters went to either the IDP or the Humanists, with some, also, going to the Verionists.<br />

====Sathrati (186) ====<br />
<br />
In Sathrati, the humanists increased their voter share, while the local parties Socialist Union of Yardistan and the Yardistani Annexation Corps were completely annihilated. The humanist campaign in Sathrati was violent, and there were reports of voter intimidation, but the local authorities there, having made the investigation, found that the election in Sathrati was fully free and fair. As evidence of this, local authorities point to the IDP doubling its voter share, the Vanguard making significant gains, and one-third higher voter share in the MSM compared to the last election. <br />

====Shirekeep (80) ====<br />
<br />
In Shirekeep, Shireroth's capital, commoners chose to increase humanist voter share. The Verionist return to Shirekeep proved popular with voters, particularly with the Verionist association with the Shirekeep Guard. However, the IDP doubled its voting share and representation in the Shirekeep delegation as well, and the NMHE almost doubled its share. The Reform Society and Throne Loyalists plummeted, their parties believed by voters to serve little purpose in an increased fractional political landscape.<br />

====Skyla (1) ====<br />
<br />
In Skyla, the commoners elected as their sole representative, a VNR delegate (with thanks to the VNR–MSM alliance and general Verionist nostalgia in the islands). The Humanists' Benacian campaign saw their support increase by almost one half, while the IDP campaigns saw the IDP increasing their voting share several times over. The Throne Loyalists appeared to have lost most their voters, as the party seemed unlikely to join any kind of government given its red lines. Moreover, the aura of Chrysostom Wythe had settled, with the party appearing anonymous to voters.<br />

====Talenore (13) ====<br />
<br />
In Talenore, changes for the Folksraad were not dramatic. The NDP, thanks to its alliance with the MSM, increased its voting share and gained one seat. Two imperial parties, the NMHE and Vanguard, took part in the election, though, only the NMHE managed to receive the voters' confidence of representation.<br />
<br />
The Humanist List, a party independent of, but allied with, the wider Shirerithian humanist movement, took advantage of the pro-Babkhi, anti-Jing image of the humanist campaigns in Benacia, placating to the Babkhi plurality on the island, by doubling their voting share and Folksraad representation.<br />

=== Raspur Pact Parliamentary Assembly ===<br />
<br />
Shireroth was apportioned 252 seats. The seats are not directly elected, but indirectly. 75 of the seats will be apportioned in proportion to results of the election to the Adelsraad, and 170 seats in proportion to the results of the election to the Folksraad. The Landsraad will fill the remaining 7 seats.<br />
<br />
== Aftermath and government formation ==<br />
<br />
While the incumbent government coalition (UR–MSM–(Vanguard)–TL–IDP–CMP–NDP–PB) increased its majority in both Adelsraad (119/150) and Folksraad (618/1000) considerably, the continuance of that kind of coalition appeared, already in the campaign stage, as unlikely, due to the split of the parties on matters on the Raspur Pact – the Vanguard and MSM being anti-RP and the IDP vehemently pro-RP (the TL also pro-RP).<br />
<br />
As such, Thuylemans faced the prospects of trying to build a smaller coalition of the core parties of UR–MSM–CMP–NDP–PB – which in the Adelsraad would have a majority (78/150) but not in the Folksraad (457/1000). Thuylemans entered preliminary talks with the leadership of the [[National Movement for Human Ecology]], but was left more confused about the NMHE programme after the talks than before them. There were some fruitful discussions with the Throne Loyalists – a potential joining of them into the coalition would, however, not create a majority. The Throne Loyalists, known to be close to [[Kaiser]]ess [[Salome]], and loyal to her opinions, would be a useful ally in the coalition, but due to their loss of support in the elections, their joining would not help Thuylemans secure a majority. But the Throne Loyalists did hint that a compromise on the matter of the Raspur Pact might be possible. <br />
<br />
Reinvigorated, Thuylemans had a private audience with the Kaiseress where he discussed his options. Pointedly, she did not ask Thuylemans to resign as Steward (and become a demissionary steward during the government coalition). This gave further confidence to Thuylemans to keep exploring a majority.<br />
<br />
If he could not secure the loyalty of the NMHE, he considered negotiating further with the TL and the Modanese parties (one of the MILFS, and the Draconic People's Party) as well as with the Laqi People's Party (the Kaiseress is known to be held in high regard by the Laqs). <br />
<br />
Still, things were difficult for Thuylemans, as even in negotiations with new parties, he still needed to negotiate with his already partners, due to the balance between them having been changed. <br />
<br />

The [[Imperial Forces]] is composed of several military branches, namely the [[Imperial Army (Shireroth)|Imperial Army]] (these days a continuation and expansion of the original [[Palatini Corps]]), the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth]] (INS), the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] and [[Auxiliary Forces (Shireroth)|Auxiliary Forces]]. The nation itself is divided in several military regions, called Departments. Untill the early 18th century, the Forces closely worked together with the [[Raspur Pact]]. Disagreements and potential departure from the Pact, led to hostile actions taken under the leadership of the [[Benacian Union]] against to retrieve military assets. Ever since the [[First Thuylemans Government]], the Forces have been preparing for a potential conflict with its neighbour, which has been seen increasingly as a threat to Shirerithian sovereignty. <br />
<br />
==Recent History==<br />
===Feudal Armies===<br />
The Imperial Forces of Shireroth were once a mighty military force, consisting of three main branches: the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy of Shireroth (INS), and the Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF). With a large population and vast territory, Shireroth was able to boast one of the largest and most powerful armies on Micras during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, the effectiveness of the Imperial Forces was hampered by their reliance on the support of local lords and their feudal armies. Despite their impressive size on paper, internal conflicts and competition for resources made them less formidable in reality. In fact, one of the grievances of the Kildari during the [[Revolution of 1617]] was the lack of faith they had in the ability of the Kaiser and his Imperial Forces to defend the borders against invasions, such as that of the Garllicians.<br />
<br />
In the 17th century, the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] became increasingly important, providing essential logistical support and acting as a reserve of paramilitary militia. However, the Kalirion Fracture devastated the Imperial Forces, reducing them to a small remnant of their former strength. The [[Palatini Corps]] emerged as a replacement for the Imperial Army, but this allowed for an opportunity to reform and modernize the remaining forces. <br />
<br />
===Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth===<br />
The Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth (RPTM-S) was established in 1679 at the initiative of [[Benacia Command]]. The aim of RPTM-S was to assist in the development of Imperial Forces training structures and institutions so that Shireroth could build an effective and sustainable capability that addressed the needs of the Imperial Republic, that would defend its remaining territories against secessionists and which would be able to resist any further efforts at capitulation by the [[Imperial Regency|regency]] in [[Shirekeep]]. RPTM-S was not a combat mission but was a distinct mission, under the political control of the Raspur Pact's Joint Military Council. Its operational emphasis was on training and mentoring. The activities of the mission were coordinated with the Shirerithian Ministry of State, whose minister was the de-facto commander of the Imperial Forces, and the Imperial Advisory Council.<br />
<br />
In 1694 Benacia Command authorised the return of a significant quantity of surplus small arms, rejected by the [[UDF]] for use in the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], to the arsenals of the Imperial Republic. These comprising primarily of:<br />
<br />
{{unbulleted list|243,838x &ndash; M1591 7.62 mm rifles|110,750x &ndash; M1656 9 mm sub-machine gun|80,000x &ndash; M1525 9 mm pistols|79,188x &ndash; M1508 Martini-Rossi 11.56 mm rifles}}<br />
<br />
The weapons would be transferred from the depots of the [[Black Legions]] in the [[Unified Governorates]] to designated arsenals in [[Brookshire]] and the [[Duchy of the Guttuli]] via a series of road convoys that would travel across the UGB, [[Tellia]], [[Sanama]], and [[Drak-Modan]] in order to reach their intended destinations.<br />
<br />
===Salomeid Reforms===<br />
The early 18th century saw a shift towards a more modern approach to warfare, with new equipment, command structures, and organizational strategies being implemented. Many noble armies were disbanded and integrated into the revamped Imperial Forces, including those of Batavia and Jingdao.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Imperial Forces have a distributed structure that relies predominantly on ground combat as a consequence of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and the loss of advanced military hardware and the trained personnel to operate them. At its low point, the [[Palatini Corps]] was the only armed force under Imperial authority. One of the goals of the Thuylemans Cabinets has been to transform the many various semi-compatible organizations along a more streamlined, Imperium-wide plan.<br />

At the operational level, ground combat units are organized into Reinforced Cohorts ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Toißuszoþ Gauht''), a concept adapted from the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Operations|Guttuli Corps]]'s ''Streïkrupp''. As the name suggests, an infantry cohort is reinforced with attached armored reconnaissance, artillery, and engineering maniples. This allows for the application of heavy weapons systems to be more easily available at the tactical level. The commanding officer of the cohort, typically a Mid-Grade Tribune, serves as the commanding officer for the Reinforced Cohort.<br />
<br />
Three Reinforced Cohorts, along with the parent units for their attached combat support as well as additional defensive and logistical support units, are organized into a Battle Command. The Battle Command is expected to be capable of sustained independent operations.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
[[File:Map of Military Departments Shireroth 1730.png|450px|thumb|right|Map of the Military Districts, in the Year 1730 AN.]]<br />
Implemented in {{AN|1724}}, the Imperium is divided into a series of regional military districts, or ''Departments'', to control and administer military installations and units located within their jurisdiction. Regular transfers between the various departments over the next few years allowed for units with vastly different origins and operating principles to learn and train together.<br />

==Ranks==<br />
<br />
As directed by the Ministry of State's Commission for Defence, regular Imperial Forces now operate within a single system of ranks, uniforms, and equipment, in order to sustain interoperability. <br />
<br />
On paper, each regional army maintains its own general staff under the authority of its own ''Master of Soldiers'', who creates field formations, called Associations, over whom he designates a ''Standard''. In actuality, the regional armies have been reduced to a merely administrative role, with each general staff tasked with maintaining supply and training. Associations are created under the direction of, under the authority of an appointee of, and receive strategic direction from the Commissioner for Defence. Associations are composed of units freely shuffled between Associations as necessary to meet Imperial strategic goals with the shortest logistical lines. This arrangement is a systematized form of the previous ad-hoc ''Banners'' placed under the appointed authority of a ''Nypḥyk'u'' ([[Red Laqi language|RL.]] "Standard Bearer"), whose subordinate units were a free mixture of militia, professional, and irregular troops as resources allowed it.<br />
<br />
These changes are reflected in the changes to the rank structure, which no longer distinguishes between 'Spear' and 'Specialist' units, which has condensed the general officer ranks considerably, which has placed significantly larger responsibility upon the Field Officer ranks, and which has seen an expansion of Company-Grade and senior-NCO ranks. Under this new scheme, which has been influenced by its roots in the Brookshire militia and re-educated remnants of the Guttuli Corps, NCOs (or ''Principals'') can seek entry into the Officer Candidate program, receive a commission, and gain access to the higher ranks. The children of nobles have adjusted to this more meritocratic officer recruitment process by sending their children into military academies, so that they may qualify for career acceleration upon entry into the Imperial Forces.<br />

===Specialists===<br />
<br />
After two years of their initial contract, soldiers may apply for specialist training. If accepted, they become a Trainee Specialist under the apprenticeship of a Principal Specialist. Following apprenticeship, certification is required for being assigned a specialist billet. Principal Specialists combine skills specialization with the tasks of organic leadership, discipline, and training.<br />
<br />
Entry into a military academy grants certified specialist status upon completion. The most common military academy is an Officer Candidate School, and is required for receiving an officer commission.<br />

==Term of Service==<br />
<br />
Soldiers join the Imperial Forces under an initial 6-year contract. After completing their initial contract, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a second 4-year contract as a Junior Principal. Thereafter, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a third long-term contract as a Senior Principal.<br />
<br />
Soldiers may be up-contracted before their initial contract has been completed if they are highly qualified, highly specialized, or are certified to fill a role that is in particularly high demand.<br />
<br />
Upon honorable completion of service, an individual is awarded with perpetual status under Grade A and a medallion of service completion, so that denizens without merit may know they are legally obliged to provide a demonstration of respect. Failure to maintain dignity of status may result in revocation one's Grade A status and the destruction of one's medallion.<br />
<br />
==Uniforms==<br />
[[File:ImperialForces 1702AN.png|thumb|right|Uniforms for the Imperial Forces, circa 1702 AN.]]<br />
<br />
In the decades after the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Imperium relied upon irregular forces, local militia, and rehabilitated defeated hostile forces to augment the Palatini Corps, the only components of Benacia Command that had remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne. Beginning in the 1690s, regularization became a priority for the Imperial Commission for Defence. Introduced in 1702 AN, a new set of standardized uniform specifications were established, replacing all previous forms.<br />
<br />
The [[Palatini Corps]] retained a distinct color and cut for its field and service uniforms, and was given permission to continue using its distinct Full Dress uniform, first authorized in 1663 AN, when on ceremonial duty in [[Shirekeep]]. <br />
<br />
====Field Dress====<br />
<br />
Issued to all members of the Imperial Forces, derived from the all-weather utility uniform used by the [[Ŝḥenĉeł'yh]] and adopted by the Brookshire Ducal Army.<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces FieldRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Service Dress====<br />
<br />
Distinct variants for Officers and Principals. Service Dress for Officers and Ordinates is modelled on the pre-Fracture Lancer officer tunic, now applied to all officers irrespective of unit type. Service Dress for other Principals uses the same design as the Field Dress uniform but out of the same fabric and dyes as the Service Dress for Officers. Soldiers are not issued a Service Dress uniform, but may purchase it for non-field duty use when authorized by their commanding officer (e.g. ceremonial duty, parade, court appearance, public-facing offices, etc).<br />

====Noteworthy Insignia====<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:ImperialForces Gorget.png]]<br />
| Opratzan continue to be awarded a gorget upon ascending to the esteemed rank. A subdued enamel version is issued for field dress in addition to the standard silvery-grey design.<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:CrypteiaButton.png]]<br />
| The Crypteia, due to its longstanding and persistent connection to the Palatini Corps, continues to use PC uniforms -- membership in the Crypteia is only explicitly indicated by the identifying button on the left breast, above service ribbons if worn.<br />

===Imperial Ground Forces===<br />
<br />
[[File:IF 1Leg 1728AN.png|thumb|1. Legio Palatini, a heavy legion first deployed in 1728 AN as part of 1. Corps.]]<br />
<br />
The primary service branch of the Imperial Forces, the Imperial Ground Forces shall be organized into '''Corps''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Uihmanz''). Each Corps shall have the following organic divisions:<br />
* Artillery<br />
* Air Defence<br />
* Aviation<br />
* Operational Support<br />
* Service Support<br />
* Special Operations<br />
<br />
To each combat-ready Corps, there shall be deployed six '''Legions''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Salb''). Legions shall be graded according to their combat role:<br />
* '''Heavy''': armored combined-arms<br />
* '''Medium''': reinforced mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Light''': motorized infantry<br />
* '''Amphibious''': amphibious mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Air Assault''': reinforced helicopter-dropped infantry<br />
* '''Mountain''': light infantry with special training and equipment for high-altitude combat environment<br />
<br />
Additionally, legions identified with the honorary of '''Palatini''' were granted permission to wear uniform variants associated with the Palatini Corps (from whom the new Palatini Legions were derived), as well as the honor of being recruitment pools for ceremonial duty and/or for life guard duty to protect members of the Imperial Family.<br />
<br />
On 1.I.1728, the first such corps, called '''1. Corps''', was stood up and assigned to the Department of the Confluence. It drew soldiers and equipment from the Palatini Corps, Ducal Army of Brookshire, and the Feudatory Host of Kildare.<br />

<br />
==Recent History==<br />
<br />
The Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth (RPTM-S) was established in 1679 at the initiative of [[Benacia Command]]. The aim of RPTM-S was to assist in the development of Imperial Forces training structures and institutions so that Shireroth could build an effective and sustainable capability that addressed the needs of the Imperial Republic, that would defend its remaining territories against secessionists and which would be able to resist any further efforts at capitulation by the [[Imperial Regency|regency]] in [[Shirekeep]]. RPTM-S was not a combat mission but was a distinct mission, under the political control of the Raspur Pact's Joint Military Council. Its operational emphasis was on training and mentoring. The activities of the mission were coordinated with the Shirerithian Ministry of State, whose minister was the de-facto commander of the Imperial Forces, and the Imperial Advisory Council.<br />
<br />
In 1694 Benacia Command authorised the return of a significant quantity of surplus small arms, rejected by the [[UDF]] for use in the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], to the arsenals of the Imperial Republic. These comprising primarily of:<br />
<br />
{{unbulleted list|243,838x &ndash; M1591 7.62 mm rifles|110,750x &ndash; M1656 9 mm sub-machine gun|80,000x &ndash; M1525 9 mm pistols|79,188x &ndash; M1508 Martini-Rossi 11.56 mm rifles}}<br />
<br />
The weapons would be transferred from the depots of the [[Black Legions]] in the [[Unified Governorates]] to designated arsenals in [[Brookshire]] and the [[Duchy of the Guttuli]] via a series of road convoys that would travel across the UGB, [[Tellia]], [[Sanama]], and [[Drak-Modan]] in order to reach their intended destinations.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Imperial Forces have a distributed structure that relies predominantly on ground combat as a consequence of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and the loss of advanced military hardware and the trained personnel to operate them. At its low point, the [[Palatini Corps]] was the only armed force under Imperial authority. One of the goals of the Thuylemans Cabinets has been to transform the many various semi-compatible organizations along a more streamlined, Imperium-wide plan.<br />

<br />
At the operational level, ground combat units are organized into Reinforced Cohorts ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Toißuszoþ Gauht''), a concept adapted from the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Operations|Guttuli Corps]]'s ''Streïkrupp''. As the name suggests, an infantry cohort is reinforced with attached armored reconnaissance, artillery, and engineering maniples. This allows for the application of heavy weapons systems to be more easily available at the tactical level. The commanding officer of the cohort, typically a Mid-Grade Tribune, serves as the commanding officer for the Reinforced Cohort.<br />
<br />
Three Reinforced Cohorts, along with the parent units for their attached combat support as well as additional defensive and logistical support units, are organized into a Battle Command. The Battle Command is expected to be capable of sustained independent operations.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
[[File:Map of Military Departments Shireroth 1730.png|450px|thumb|right|Map of the Military Districts, in the Year 1730 AN.]]<br />
Implemented in {{AN|1724}}, the Imperium is divided into a series of regional military districts, or ''Departments'', to control and administer military installations and units located within their jurisdiction. Regular transfers between the various departments over the next few years allowed for units with vastly different origins and operating principles to learn and train together.<br />

==Ranks==<br />
<br />
As directed by the Ministry of State's Commission for Defence, regular Imperial Forces now operate within a single system of ranks, uniforms, and equipment, in order to sustain interoperability. <br />
<br />
On paper, each regional army maintains its own general staff under the authority of its own ''Master of Soldiers'', who creates field formations, called Associations, over whom he designates a ''Standard''. In actuality, the regional armies have been reduced to a merely administrative role, with each general staff tasked with maintaining supply and training. Associations are created under the direction of, under the authority of an appointee of, and receive strategic direction from the Commissioner for Defence. Associations are composed of units freely shuffled between Associations as necessary to meet Imperial strategic goals with the shortest logistical lines. This arrangement is a systematized form of the previous ad-hoc ''Banners'' placed under the appointed authority of a ''Nypḥyk'u'' ([[Red Laqi language|RL.]] "Standard Bearer"), whose subordinate units were a free mixture of militia, professional, and irregular troops as resources allowed it.<br />
<br />
These changes are reflected in the changes to the rank structure, which no longer distinguishes between 'Spear' and 'Specialist' units, which has condensed the general officer ranks considerably, which has placed significantly larger responsibility upon the Field Officer ranks, and which has seen an expansion of Company-Grade and senior-NCO ranks. Under this new scheme, which has been influenced by its roots in the Brookshire militia and re-educated remnants of the Guttuli Corps, NCOs (or ''Principals'') can seek entry into the Officer Candidate program, receive a commission, and gain access to the higher ranks. The children of nobles have adjusted to this more meritocratic officer recruitment process by sending their children into military academies, so that they may qualify for career acceleration upon entry into the Imperial Forces.<br />

===Specialists===<br />
<br />
After two years of their initial contract, soldiers may apply for specialist training. If accepted, they become a Trainee Specialist under the apprenticeship of a Principal Specialist. Following apprenticeship, certification is required for being assigned a specialist billet. Principal Specialists combine skills specialization with the tasks of organic leadership, discipline, and training.<br />
<br />
Entry into a military academy grants certified specialist status upon completion. The most common military academy is an Officer Candidate School, and is required for receiving an officer commission.<br />

==Term of Service==<br />
<br />
Soldiers join the Imperial Forces under an initial 6-year contract. After completing their initial contract, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a second 4-year contract as a Junior Principal. Thereafter, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a third long-term contract as a Senior Principal.<br />
<br />
Soldiers may be up-contracted before their initial contract has been completed if they are highly qualified, highly specialized, or are certified to fill a role that is in particularly high demand.<br />
<br />
Upon honorable completion of service, an individual is awarded with perpetual status under Grade A and a medallion of service completion, so that denizens without merit may know they are legally obliged to provide a demonstration of respect. Failure to maintain dignity of status may result in revocation one's Grade A status and the destruction of one's medallion.<br />
<br />
==Uniforms==<br />
[[File:ImperialForces 1702AN.png|thumb|right|Uniforms for the Imperial Forces, circa 1702 AN.]]<br />
<br />
In the decades after the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Imperium relied upon irregular forces, local militia, and rehabilitated defeated hostile forces to augment the Palatini Corps, the only components of Benacia Command that had remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne. Beginning in the 1690s, regularization became a priority for the Imperial Commission for Defence. Introduced in 1702 AN, a new set of standardized uniform specifications were established, replacing all previous forms.<br />
<br />
The [[Palatini Corps]] retained a distinct color and cut for its field and service uniforms, and was given permission to continue using its distinct Full Dress uniform, first authorized in 1663 AN, when on ceremonial duty in [[Shirekeep]]. <br />
<br />
====Field Dress====<br />
<br />
Issued to all members of the Imperial Forces, derived from the all-weather utility uniform used by the [[Ŝḥenĉeł'yh]] and adopted by the Brookshire Ducal Army.<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces FieldRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Service Dress====<br />
<br />
Distinct variants for Officers and Principals. Service Dress for Officers and Ordinates is modelled on the pre-Fracture Lancer officer tunic, now applied to all officers irrespective of unit type. Service Dress for other Principals uses the same design as the Field Dress uniform but out of the same fabric and dyes as the Service Dress for Officers. Soldiers are not issued a Service Dress uniform, but may purchase it for non-field duty use when authorized by their commanding officer (e.g. ceremonial duty, parade, court appearance, public-facing offices, etc).<br />

====Noteworthy Insignia====<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:ImperialForces Gorget.png]]<br />
| Opratzan continue to be awarded a gorget upon ascending to the esteemed rank. A subdued enamel version is issued for field dress in addition to the standard silvery-grey design.<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:CrypteiaButton.png]]<br />
| The Crypteia, due to its longstanding and persistent connection to the Palatini Corps, continues to use PC uniforms -- membership in the Crypteia is only explicitly indicated by the identifying button on the left breast, above service ribbons if worn.<br />

===Imperial Ground Forces===<br />
<br />
[[File:IF 1Leg 1728AN.png|thumb|1. Legio Palatini, a heavy legion first deployed in 1728 AN as part of 1. Corps.]]<br />
<br />
The primary service branch of the Imperial Forces, the Imperial Ground Forces shall be organized into '''Corps''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Uihmanz''). Each Corps shall have the following organic divisions:<br />
* Artillery<br />
* Air Defence<br />
* Aviation<br />
* Operational Support<br />
* Service Support<br />
* Special Operations<br />
<br />
To each combat-ready Corps, there shall be deployed six '''Legions''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Salb''). Legions shall be graded according to their combat role:<br />
* '''Heavy''': armored combined-arms<br />
* '''Medium''': reinforced mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Light''': motorized infantry<br />
* '''Amphibious''': amphibious mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Air Assault''': reinforced helicopter-dropped infantry<br />
* '''Mountain''': light infantry with special training and equipment for high-altitude combat environment<br />
<br />
Additionally, legions identified with the honorary of '''Palatini''' were granted permission to wear uniform variants associated with the Palatini Corps (from whom the new Palatini Legions were derived), as well as the honor of being recruitment pools for ceremonial duty and/or for life guard duty to protect members of the Imperial Family.<br />
<br />
On 1.I.1728, the first such corps, called '''1. Corps''', was stood up and assigned to the Department of the Confluence. It drew soldiers and equipment from the Palatini Corps, Ducal Army of Brookshire, and the Feudatory Host of Kildare.<br />

<br />
==Recent History==<br />
<br />
The Raspur Pact Training Mission-Shireroth (RPTM-S) was established in 1679 at the initiative of [[Benacia Command]]. The aim of RPTM-S was to assist in the development of Imperial Forces training structures and institutions so that Shireroth could build an effective and sustainable capability that addressed the needs of the Imperial Republic, that would defend its remaining territories against secessionists and which would be able to resist any further efforts at capitulation by the [[Imperial Regency|regency]] in [[Shirekeep]]. RPTM-S was not a combat mission but was a distinct mission, under the political control of the Raspur Pact's Joint Military Council. Its operational emphasis was on training and mentoring. The activities of the mission were coordinated with the Shirerithian Ministry of State, whose minister was the de-facto commander of the Imperial Forces, and the Imperial Advisory Council.<br />
<br />
In 1694 Benacia Command authorised the return of a significant quantity of surplus small arms, rejected by the [[UDF]] for use in the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], to the arsenals of the Imperial Republic. These comprising primarily of:<br />
<br />
{{unbulleted list|243,838x &ndash; M1591 7.62 mm rifles|110,750x &ndash; M1656 9 mm sub-machine gun|80,000x &ndash; M1525 9 mm pistols|79,188x &ndash; M1508 Martini-Rossi 11.56 mm rifles}}<br />
<br />
The weapons would be transferred from the depots of the [[Black Legions]] in the [[Unified Governorates]] to designated arsenals in [[Brookshire]] and the [[Duchy of the Guttuli]] via a series of road convoys that would travel across the UGB, [[Tellia]], [[Sanama]], and [[Drak-Modan]] in order to reach their intended destinations.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Imperial Forces have a distributed structure that relies predominantly on ground combat as a consequence of the [[Kalirion Fracture]] and the loss of advanced military hardware and the trained personnel to operate them. At its low point, the [[Palatini Corps]] was the only armed force under Imperial authority. One of the goals of the Thuylemans Cabinets has been to transform the many various semi-compatible organizations along a more streamlined, Imperium-wide plan.<br />

*** So-Saran Battle Command: combined-arms air-ground naval infantry formation<br />
*** Draconian Battle Command: combined-arms air-ground naval infantry formation<br />
<br />
At the operational level, ground combat units are organized into Reinforced Cohorts ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Toißuszoþ Gauht''), a concept adapted from the [[Guttuli Protectorate#Operations|Guttuli Corps]]'s ''Streïkrupp''. As the name suggests, an infantry cohort is reinforced with attached armored reconnaissance, artillery, and engineering maniples. This allows for the application of heavy weapons systems to be more easily available at the tactical level. The commanding officer of the cohort, typically a Mid-Grade Tribune, serves as the commanding officer for the Reinforced Cohort.<br />
<br />
Three Reinforced Cohorts, along with the parent units for their attached combat support as well as additional defensive and logistical support units, are organized into a Battle Command. The Battle Command is expected to be capable of sustained independent operations.<br />
<br />
===Departments===<br />
<br />
Implemented in {{AN|1724}}, the Imperium is divided into a series of regional military districts, or ''Departments'', to control and administer military installations and units located within their jurisdiction. Regular transfers between the various departments over the next few years allowed for units with vastly different origins and operating principles to learn and train together.<br />

==Ranks==<br />
<br />
As directed by the Ministry of State's Commission for Defence, regular Imperial Forces now operate within a single system of ranks, uniforms, and equipment, in order to sustain interoperability. <br />
<br />
On paper, each regional army maintains its own general staff under the authority of its own ''Master of Soldiers'', who creates field formations, called Associations, over whom he designates a ''Standard''. In actuality, the regional armies have been reduced to a merely administrative role, with each general staff tasked with maintaining supply and training. Associations are created under the direction of, under the authority of an appointee of, and receive strategic direction from the Commissioner for Defence. Associations are composed of units freely shuffled between Associations as necessary to meet Imperial strategic goals with the shortest logistical lines. This arrangement is a systematized form of the previous ad-hoc ''Banners'' placed under the appointed authority of a ''Nypḥyk'u'' ([[Red Laqi language|RL.]] "Standard Bearer"), whose subordinate units were a free mixture of militia, professional, and irregular troops as resources allowed it.<br />
<br />
These changes are reflected in the changes to the rank structure, which no longer distinguishes between 'Spear' and 'Specialist' units, which has condensed the general officer ranks considerably, which has placed significantly larger responsibility upon the Field Officer ranks, and which has seen an expansion of Company-Grade and senior-NCO ranks. Under this new scheme, which has been influenced by its roots in the Brookshire militia and re-educated remnants of the Guttuli Corps, NCOs (or ''Principals'') can seek entry into the Officer Candidate program, receive a commission, and gain access to the higher ranks. The children of nobles have adjusted to this more meritocratic officer recruitment process by sending their children into military academies, so that they may qualify for career acceleration upon entry into the Imperial Forces.<br />

===Specialists===<br />
<br />
After two years of their initial contract, soldiers may apply for specialist training. If accepted, they become a Trainee Specialist under the apprenticeship of a Principal Specialist. Following apprenticeship, certification is required for being assigned a specialist billet. Principal Specialists combine skills specialization with the tasks of organic leadership, discipline, and training.<br />
<br />
Entry into a military academy grants certified specialist status upon completion. The most common military academy is an Officer Candidate School, and is required for receiving an officer commission.<br />

==Term of Service==<br />
<br />
Soldiers join the Imperial Forces under an initial 6-year contract. After completing their initial contract, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a second 4-year contract as a Junior Principal. Thereafter, if they pass qualifications, they may be offered a third long-term contract as a Senior Principal.<br />
<br />
Soldiers may be up-contracted before their initial contract has been completed if they are highly qualified, highly specialized, or are certified to fill a role that is in particularly high demand.<br />
<br />
Upon honorable completion of service, an individual is awarded with perpetual status under Grade A and a medallion of service completion, so that denizens without merit may know they are legally obliged to provide a demonstration of respect. Failure to maintain dignity of status may result in revocation one's Grade A status and the destruction of one's medallion.<br />
<br />
==Uniforms==<br />
[[File:ImperialForces 1702AN.png|thumb|right|Uniforms for the Imperial Forces, circa 1702 AN.]]<br />
<br />
In the decades after the [[Kalirion Fracture]], the Imperium relied upon irregular forces, local militia, and rehabilitated defeated hostile forces to augment the Palatini Corps, the only components of Benacia Command that had remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne. Beginning in the 1690s, regularization became a priority for the Imperial Commission for Defence. Introduced in 1702 AN, a new set of standardized uniform specifications were established, replacing all previous forms.<br />
<br />
The [[Palatini Corps]] retained a distinct color and cut for its field and service uniforms, and was given permission to continue using its distinct Full Dress uniform, first authorized in 1663 AN, when on ceremonial duty in [[Shirekeep]]. <br />
<br />
====Field Dress====<br />
<br />
Issued to all members of the Imperial Forces, derived from the all-weather utility uniform used by the [[Ŝḥenĉeł'yh]] and adopted by the Brookshire Ducal Army.<br />
<br />
[[File:ImperialForces FieldRankInsignia.png]]<br />
<br />
====Service Dress====<br />
<br />
Distinct variants for Officers and Principals. Service Dress for Officers and Ordinates is modelled on the pre-Fracture Lancer officer tunic, now applied to all officers irrespective of unit type. Service Dress for other Principals uses the same design as the Field Dress uniform but out of the same fabric and dyes as the Service Dress for Officers. Soldiers are not issued a Service Dress uniform, but may purchase it for non-field duty use when authorized by their commanding officer (e.g. ceremonial duty, parade, court appearance, public-facing offices, etc).<br />

====Noteworthy Insignia====<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:ImperialForces Gorget.png]]<br />
| Opratzan continue to be awarded a gorget upon ascending to the esteemed rank. A subdued enamel version is issued for field dress in addition to the standard silvery-grey design.<br />
|-<br />
! [[File:CrypteiaButton.png]]<br />
| The Crypteia, due to its longstanding and persistent connection to the Palatini Corps, continues to use PC uniforms -- membership in the Crypteia is only explicitly indicated by the identifying button on the left breast, above service ribbons if worn.<br />

===Imperial Ground Forces===<br />
<br />
[[File:IF 1Leg 1728AN.png|thumb|1. Legio Palatini, a heavy legion first deployed in 1728 AN as part of 1. Corps.]]<br />
<br />
The primary service branch of the Imperial Forces, the Imperial Ground Forces shall be organized into '''Corps''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Uihmanz''). Each Corps shall have the following organic divisions:<br />
* Artillery<br />
* Air Defence<br />
* Aviation<br />
* Operational Support<br />
* Service Support<br />
* Special Operations<br />
<br />
To each combat-ready Corps, there shall be deployed six '''Legions''' ([[Præta language|Pr.]] ''Salb''). Legions shall be graded according to their combat role:<br />
* '''Heavy''': armored combined-arms<br />
* '''Medium''': reinforced mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Light''': motorized infantry<br />
* '''Amphibious''': amphibious mechanized infantry<br />
* '''Air Assault''': reinforced helicopter-dropped infantry<br />
* '''Mountain''': light infantry with special training and equipment for high-altitude combat environment<br />
<br />
Additionally, legions identified with the honorary of '''Palatini''' were granted permission to wear uniform variants associated with the Palatini Corps (from whom the new Palatini Legions were derived), as well as the honor of being recruitment pools for ceremonial duty and/or for life guard duty to protect members of the Imperial Family.<br />
<br />
On 1.I.1728, the first such corps, called '''1. Corps''', was stood up and assigned to the Department of the Confluence. It drew soldiers and equipment from the Palatini Corps, Ducal Army of Brookshire, and the Feudatory Host of Kildare.<br />

=== Leadership ===</div>Jonas Windsorhttps://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=Jingdaoese_diaspora&diff=314258Jingdaoese diaspora2024-01-21T22:50:57Z<p>Jonas Windsor: </p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Jingdaoese Diaspora''' refers to the [[Travelling nations|mass migration]] of [[Jingdao]]ese people from their ancestral homeland on the continent of [[Cibola]] to other regions, particularly the [[Antican Isles]], following the destruction caused by the [[Ci Emperor]]'s efforts to combat evil spirits in 1602 AN. This event marked the beginning of a new era for the [[Jing|Jingdaoese]] people, as they established themselves in new lands and formed distinct communities.<br />
<br />
During this time, many Jingdaoese people left behind their homes and migrated to other continents and nations, such as Batavia and Shireroth (especially Kildare). While some remained in these areas, others assimilated into the local populations, creating a significant minority presence in these regions. In Benacian Shireroth, the ethnic Jing faced persecution and ethnic cleansing half-way the 17th century, after the Jing had taken over its [[Apollonian Republic|former eastern territory]], which turned them into enemies.<br />
<br />
The Jingdaoese Diaspora had a profound impact on the development of the Jingdaoese people and their culture. Despite facing challenges in their new environments, they managed to maintain their cultural identity and traditions, while also adapting to their new surroundings. The diaspora experience has played a significant role in shaping the Jingdaoese people's sense of self and their relationship with their ancestral homeland.<br />
<br />
The establishment of a new Jingdaoese Empire in the Antican Isles by [[Rollin the Conqueror]] in 1604 AN marked a turning point in the history of the Jingdaoese people. It provided them with a new center of power and influence, allowing them to rebuild and flourish in their new home. The influence of this minority group in [[Kildare]] would eventually turn the by then independent [[Apollonian Republic]] into a vassal state which would eventually be annexed into the Great Jing Dynasty. Today, the legacy of the Jingdaoese Diaspora continues to be felt across [[Micras]], with the Jingdaoese people remaining a vital and influential force despite no longer having their own independent country since 1707 AN.<br />

'''Sunehra''', officially the '''Sunehra Rajya''' (Adarani: सुनेहरा राज्य), is a princely state of [[Çakaristan]], located on the eastern flank of the Monalan Parvat (Monlan Mountains). In the [[Antica|Antican]] period, the area was part of Mesoun. It was not until 1627 AN that the boundaries of the present area were determined. After the area reverted to the Green, it became part of Çakaristan as a princely state in 1693 AN.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
The name "Sunehra" is a reference to the most important metal mined in this area - gold. The flag of the princely state is therefore golden with a white lily.<br />
