| − | The '''Slavonik Imperiya''' /Sla-vonik Im-peer-iya/ (Slavonik Script: Монолитная Империя) is a faction from the realm of [[Mir]] and is considered to be the largest and most powerful of the known factions of the realm. When the realm was created, nefarious powers modelled this new Empire directley after the fallen [[Galacia|Galacian Imperiya]]. | + | The '''Slavonik Imperiya''' Also known as '''Slavka''' is a nation from the planet of [[Mir]], It is one of the world's strongest military and industrial powers as well as being one of the largest territorily. |

| − | The Origin of the Imperiya has been largely lost and forgotten to time, the Realm of Mir has changed so radically in recent times that such things are hardly important. What is generally beileved about the Slavonik Imperiya is that it has existed since the initial decline of Elder dominion, possibly starting as a faction of an entity known only as the "First Alliance", The Realm's first attempt at a unified governing body of non-magikal Minifigs. The First Alliance failed due to it's wide range of territory and ineffecient infrastructure, but many former members of it would go on to resettle other areas, and start groups of their own that still survive today. As Magikal-Elder populations retreated due to the "Mortals" steadily outpacing them, it is believed that the early Imperiya steadily grabbed territory and technology from the waning Elders.
| + | Slavka has been the seat of numerous greater Serican states throughout Mir's History. Every few generations a great power would rise in the land, conquer it's neighbors, wage war with other great powers and then collapse into Revolution or Anarchy. It's most recent events saw a large collectivist authoritarian empire collapse after ending up on the losing side of a cold war with the [[North Sea Alliance]]. The Serican empire crumbled in R2019, much of it's territory was lost to local independence movements from states like [[Armata]], Elbrus and Varangia. Khrabrost had varying levels of success in convincing these newly free states back into it's sphere of influence. |
| | | | |
| − | Employing the principles of Law, Order and Security in a land that was well known for all sorts of Dangers in the wild, they were able to quickly gather the necessary support in order to take on large projects. Imperial cities dotted the central plate worlds of Mir and they quickly became the realm's de facto center of Minifig activity. Their control over the affairs of so many residents directley led to the creation of a number of sepratist, dissident or otherwise rival groups across Mir. Some would try to carve out an alternative to Imperial Life whereas others would actively fight them. The [[Stroiteliga Bratva]] "Builder's League" was the largest of these groups, The Imperiya would fight a number of skirmishes against the League for years while a dwindling number of Elders, calling themselves the [[Council of Anwar]] tried to maintain Realm peace in a diplomatic alliance of sorts with most of the factions of the Realm. When it all came crumbling down, there was little to stop groups from fighting each other again.
| + | Present day Slavka, formally referred to as the Slavonik Imperiya, is while a rump state, still a considerable force on the world stage. Boasting one of the largest militaries, although a very vulnerable economy. Division and dissent is rife in Slavka, as they have seen their neighbors thrive since their separation from Khrabrost's grip, While Slavka is now a capitalist society, it is still no less authoritarian. Corruption is rampant, and the government is more or less just a legitimized Mafia, an Oligarchy of Intelligence officers, Retired Generals and other elites who orchestrated the takeover of state assets during the last Empire's collapse, these individuals consolidated their power and effectively employed a new state security pyramid that would keep them in power and even keeping the military subdued by blackmail, intimidation and violence committed against the families and associates of anyone who dares raise trouble. |
| − | | |
| − | However shortly after the fall of Anwar, it became known to many of the leaders of the realm that a powerful and nefarious entity was lurking in the shadows, a sentient crystal known only as the [[Monolith]] was influencing Minifigs into committing acts of great damage and destruction. And furthermore the Monolith was making the very fabric of reality unstable. A temporary Alliance was struck between the Imperiya, League, and most of the major players of Mir. Having committed the most resources to the war against the Monolith, the Imperiya was left holding most of the cards when the powers came to discuss the aftermath of their war.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mediated by [[User:Kastrenzo|Kast]], the Aftermath of the Monolith War would see the Imperiya inherit the remains of the crystal. It would be used to open up a number of interdimensional portals to other parts of the [[Brikverse]]. Furthermore, the remaining power in the crystal was to be used for the good of the realm itself. Namely to ensure that for better or for worse, Mir's existence would be kept afloat. Given their already established power over the realm and being the center for most minifig life in the realm, it was agreed that the Imperiya should have control of the Crystal, but distinctly not under the control of a Military figure but a cabal of trained mystics and mages , who would be more "neutral" And thus the Imperiya would adopt a dual leadership system. An Emperor residing over the state and it's assets, alongside the Mystic Council in the Nexus

| − | In mid R2020. With no ceremony or explanation, the dwindling Elder population left Mir in a mass exodus. This left the entire realm in crisis as most civilizations had built themselves around the luxuries and tek advancements provided by the Magikal Elders. The most important device was the Elder Forge. A machine that when powered by one or more cannisters of liquefied crystals called Ichor, could produce almost any kind of part or complex component. Such machines were used for creating everything from the very building blocks of structures, all the way to armored components for tanks, assembled guns, personal armor and hi-tek devices. The forges themselves as with most Elder tek was created with an ultra rare golden material that non-elders had no idea how to work with. In essence the knowledge of creating and maintaining these forges was lost with the Elders when they left, only a couple thousand still existed in the realm. Further adding to the problems was that the crystals they used for fuel, were rather rare themselves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In a move of jaw dropping stupidity, The Mystics allowed The then Emperor at the time, who had little understanding on how to handle Elder-Tier Magik, attempted to use the power of the Monolith to artificially duplicate vast reserves of Ichor. The process backfired spectacularly, Ichor fields across the realm experienced an unprecedented explosion of growth, fields expanded a hundredfold. Completely overtaking many plate worlds and rendering then uninhabitable, the material properties of Ichor were hazardous to unprotected minifigs, and it accidentally killed a lot of minifigs. The then Emperor at the time, his name forever stricken from records in disgrace, had also managed to blow himself up in the process, and greatly diminished the power of the Monolith crystal. This incident would usher in the era known as the Ichor Wars, (R2020-Present).
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the crisis of the [[Black Crusade]], the Imperiya's ability to respond was hamstrung by an internal conflict that resulted in several of it's subfactions openly fighting each other. Some say this was orchestrated by nefarious agents with sympathies to the Black Legion, as despite being rivals a combined Imperial/League effort would have quickly halted the Legion in it's tracks. However it was not meant to be, and the Stroiteliga Bratva was ultimately abandoned to it's fate.

| − | ==Ethos & Objectives==
| |
| − | Having existed since time immemorial in the realm of Novomir, the overall goal of the Slavonik Imperiya has understandably changed over time, based on the world around it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since R2020, With the opening of inter dimensional portals, the departure of the Elders, and the vastly deteriorating state of the realm due to Ichor contamination, the Slavonik Imperiya has officially assumed the mantle of the central government of the plate worlds of Novomir. While they control only about 20% of the still habitable realm, they control the most important 20%. Millions of minifigs inhabit Imperial protected lands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the past, the Imperiya had been seen by both outsiders and citizens alike as a morally corrupt entity. But with the state of the Realm, even their harshest critics must acknowledge what they are trying to accomplish. The Imperiya seeks to defend and protect the habitable territory that remains, slow the spread of Ichor contamination, provide for it's citizens, and most recently they have made attempts to colonize other worlds outside of their own realm. Notably exploring the area known as the [[Gold Sector]] in the [[Galaxia Nehellenium]]. A series of star systems that if Legends are to be beileved, were the origin from which their plate world realm was created.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One mission of the Imperiya that has caused them to butt heads with it's own citizens as well as others however, has been the subject of Magik. Eversince the incident that spawned the Ichor crisis, the Imperiya has outright banned almost all forms of Magik across the realm. Anything other than low level magik is often punishable by incarceration or sometimes even death. Magikal artifacts from the Elder era are treated as weapons of mass destruction, and entire Agencies are established to hunt down and safeguard Magik staffs and other artifakts.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Even after all of this, for better or for worse. The Slavonik Imperiya still maintains it's original mission, To uphold Law the law, establish Order, and provide Security for it's citizens.

| − | ==Leadership & Governance==
| |
| − | The Slavonik Imperiya considers itself to be the ruling Civil Government and Military power of the realm of Mir, and thus despite not having complete control over all territories, it's leaders share an interest in the stability of the realm at large.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Imperiya's government contains many remnants of the archaic Elder system. It's leadership is chosen by an election of individuals who are essentially nobles, picking one of their own. Said individual would be granted the title of Emperor for a term of 3 years. During that time they would control nearly absolute power, with only the council of the Nexus and the loyalty of the high lords to worry about.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The System is largely a closed and self perpetuating circle of nepotism. Regular citizens are unable to be considered for office, let alone vote in them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On the other hand, the actual territories controlled by the Imperiya are ruled by a feudal caste of regional lords. Each commanding large armies and various industries and assets. Unlike a traditional feudal kingdom however, there is a high degree of standardization and uniformity. In short, These Lords are little more than Regional governors who are not elected, and power is only transferred when one dies or willingly gives it up

| − | ===Expansion===
| |
| − | While the territory of the Imperiya is mostly static, small areas are occasionally added to the collective territory once they have become modernized and civilized enough. Generally this will happen one of two ways, either by Imperiya development in sparsely populated or empty areas. Or Much smaller local groups being offered an olive branch to join the Empire and reap collective benefits. In the case of the latter, Many of these local authorities will accept the offer and gradually assimilate into the larger entity. Until then they will maintain a moderate degree of autonomy. Militarily it is not unusual for these Autonomous zones to be fielding their own troops that are supplied with Imperiya military hardware. Unfortunately these smaller groups have been known to drag their allies into conflicts, as well as even start fighting amongst each other from time to time
