Etymology
Welcome to the fact-book dossier on The Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex. We hope you will find all information you would like to know about our country here, and otherwise you can always send a communique through proper channels to that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The flag of the Haruspex is to portray what has happened and what will happen. The red shows the blood of the Haru that died protecting the Imperium. The black arrows and outline mean death of enemies that will spread like a plague. And the white outlines show the Haru spirit and honor. Another meaning for the white colors outlining the black arrows mean that the Haru are responsible for their enemies death.
The Haru are human, but they believe in ancient myth that they are not children of Adam and Eve, but rather Darklings, the Fae of old and have persisted this via religion and so on for the centuries since unification. Oberon and Titantania are known as the All Father and the All Mother, those that raised the first Darklings of yore from the Eurth itself, and grew them to be beings, before releasing them into the wurld at large, to earn their right to live or to die and fade away, such is the will of the countless ageless.
From such dark denizen of the Eurth, the twisted imaginings of mankind's dreams, did forth the birth of the Haru come from these creatures. As their ancestors they hold homage to these creatures of mythos, those that became the Haru gods and goddesses, and so to do the torches of faith burn for that of the creators, the shapers of those they worship in turn.
So the religion that the Haru have interwoven into their society, culture, daily lives, has them believing the major houses are descendants, bloodlines of this ancient race, of whom became the main gods of their faith, overlooking the hall of pantheons beneath them, of whom the Haru place their faith within.

Government
The government of the Sovereign Imperium is a borderline stratocracy, where military and civil governance go hand in hand. Citizens are encouraged and even required to work for the government for a certain period of time, whether it be in the armed forces or in civil governance. The government of the Imperium is widely accepting of all races, creeds, and ethnicities, though this attitude is born more out of a practical need than an altruistic one.
The Imperium is divided into multiple city-state/regional commissariats that govern large swaths of the Imperium's territories. These governing bodies act as smaller replicas of the imperial government and have provided the Imperium the flexibility and capability to govern such a large population spread across the Eurth.
The Imperium's commissariats are separated by 2 different distinctions:
Executive power in the Sovereign Imperium is held by the Council of the Nine, a coalition of nine nobles of various government service and high ranking military leaders, each of whom also acts as the head of one of the government's departments. Acting as the head of the state and the Council of the Nine is the Senior Councilor, a first among equals who has special powers that were created to allow the Council to act quicker and more decisively in times of emergency, as well as being the most trusted advisor to the throne. Senior Councilors are elected for twenty-year terms, though this can be shortened or lengthened depending on extraneous circumstances.
The National Council, consisting of lower ranked nobles, military officers, merchants and so on, has been criticized as being largely ceremonial. While the National Council, in theory, has the power to create and modify laws, in practice, they act as a rubber stamp for laws that the Council of the Nine has already decided to pass. There are very few instances in the Sovereign Imperium's history where the National Council did not agree with the Council of the Nine.
The Sovereign Imperium acts as a hereditary led autocracy, however, many opposition parties exist as approved alternatives and are allowed to function within the National Council. Not much is known about the approval process, with the exception that any opposition parties must remain subordinate to the nation's interest.
The City States
Tiered Citizenship
Perhaps the most unique aspect of the Imperium's government is the tiered citizenship structure. As citizens become more effective and useful members of society, their citizenship tier can rise, granting them more rights and privileges. A popular punishment for minor crimes is the reduction of a citizenship tier, which can restrict their freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and countless other details of daily life that go as far down as the amount of water allotted to a citizen's showers each month. Frequently, such verdicts come paired with specific criteria for the reinstatement of a citizen's tier.
These Tier levels compare to contemporary economics/living standards as of current.
Despite the Haru penchant for authoritarian/autocracy of a sort, it’s still mostly a meritocracy. People will go up and down in tiers multiple times in their life. You’re not destined for poverty, but you’re not going to stay at a high level just because you’re born there.
Productivity earns your place in this system.
- 0: Dissident.
- 1-3: Varying degrees of criminal or incarceration tiers.
- 4-5: Basic income. But with universal healthcare and military conscription this is more than likely a place everyone’s been at some point. So there’s no shame in being here, only staying here. Non-skilled labor is in this category.
- 6-8: Lower middle class to middle class. Educated-skilled workers, clerks, military enlisted, and the like. Probably a good portion of the population.
- 9-11: Upper middle class. A level to aspire to, maybe two houses, a few luxuries. Tradesmen, craftsmen, educators, senior military enlisted, professionals.
- 12-13: Upper class. Small business owners, junior officers, junior politicians, bankers.
- 14-16: Court class. Imperial nobles, senior military officers, politicians, corporate leaders, minor celebrities.
- 17-18: High class. Minor house lords, high ranking military, high ranking politicians, captains of industry, well known athletes and artisans.
- 19-20: Regent class. Major house lords, heads of major corporations, occasional war veteran military leader. Etc.
- 21-24: Royal class. These people are so few in numbers (across the entire imperium's territories) that they spend the resources to not be noticed. And arguing if someone’s on tier 21 or 25 is considered rude anyway. They have the financial power to control entire city-states, perhaps multiples of such and tend to self police themselves for the good of the nation. The common citizen may have heard of “the 21 Club” but probably couldn’t name a single member.
- 25: Imperial class. Emperor or Empress, they're associated family members named as possible successors should the House and bloodline they represent, be chosen to lead the nation. The lives of the Imperium are at their mercy and control, as are the choices of where to lead them.

Disputes
The sovereignty dispute over the lands of Zharr, Ishakor, and the Midlands known in the Imperium as the "Western Territories" and in the Occident known as " Marmakite Territories," occupied by the nomadic tribes in 1980, now administered by independent factions and claimed by Machina Harusepx, remains the primary sticking point to signing a peace treaty formally ending hostilities; Machina Haruspex's unilaterally declared exclusive economic zone in the Ranke Sea, the site of intensive hydrocarbon prospecting. The latest incidents include the annexation of the Northern Territories (Beautancus), and the seizure of North Korninon.
