Venezia, politics and more...

[Chezinu]

Well, the servers are down. I might as well form an empire or something while waiting. By making this post, I will lose my 0 post count.../sigh. I better make this post count.

Emperor: Chezinu (may appoint a succeeding emperor and it may be soon)
Way of ruling (only the emperor or a democratic way?): Everyone must follow uphold the core values of the empire. People must obey their local leader.
Capitol: It could be yours!
Other city's: I just made this empire up, give it time..
Reason why my city should join your empire: Well, it gives you more authority over your people and you get tax money. Great if your power hungry and greedy. It forces people to construct beautiful building or face dire consequences, which of course you probably don't have to worry about.

More information about the empire:

Name: ? For now I'll call it "The Golden Empire"

Values: Practicality, Beauty, and Efficiency! Love your faction, befriend your allies, tolerate the neutral, conquer your enemies!

Taxes: Everyone must pay a minimum of 5 kiwi tax to your local leader every week. If you move into a town under the faction control, you must pay your tax upfront.

Fines:

• Uniform: A solider failing to wear his uniform while on duty will result in a 50 kiwi fine that must be paid to his local leader.
  
  
• Ugly housing: If an Artisan fails to create a beautiful house that the majority of the community approves, he must pay a 25 kiwi fee and demolish his structure. He may attempt to reconstruct the building at the employer’s discretion.
  
  
• Leader: Other fines may be subjected by your local leader.
  

Structure:

• Capitol: This place has to be the most beautiful fortified city. Ideally, I would like it to be the centerpiece of the empire. It should have roads that branch out in all directions to other cities of the empire (if the capitol is surrounded by water, it should have cities accessible via boat in all directions). If at some point in history there is an obstacle to this image, such as a city near the capitol refusing the authority of the empire. It must be abolished. If the obstacle was a city, a new city should be built in its place.
  
• Other cities:Still has to look pretty, but not held to as high standards as the capitol. The defenses do not have to be as strong either.

Roles:

• Citizens: Go about your daily living without the burden of obtaining high responsibility to your surrounding community. However, you still need to uphold your civic duty. Live under the law!

• • [li]Suggested Roles to contribute to society -- you may combine roles:
