Chapter 33: The World Merged Under the Emperor
Subheading: "The Union of States exists—but it answers only to the Empire."
I. The Final Step: Global Absorption
The world's old nations—fragmented and chaotic—were reshaped.
Flags came down. Borders blurred.
In their place arose a Union of States—an administrative framework uniting every former country as a state under a single Empire.
II. The Empire and the Union
From the Obsidian Throne, your decree was clear:
"There is now a Union of States.
But this Union is not sovereign.
It exists to serve the Empire—and the Empire alone.
The Emperor rules all."
The Union provided a structure for governance, diplomacy, and culture—but all under your command.
III. States and Presidents
Each former country became a State within the Union.
Each State has a President who governs day-to-day affairs
Presidents are appointed or vetted by Imperial Intelligence and swear loyalty to you
States have limited autonomy—but all major policies, laws, and military command are controlled by the Empire
The people see presidents as their leaders.
The Union as their government.
But the Empire—and you—hold every true power.
IV. Citizenship Under the Empire and the Union
The Imperial Citizenship Act formalized:
All citizens belong to the Empire and the Union
Voting and elections happen within states to maintain appearance of self-rule
All candidates are screened by the Empire
Every citizen carries an Imperial ID linking them to the Empire and the Union
