Vicuscia

A glorious Empire looking to expand its horizons. This is a preliminary information page.

History
The Vicuscian Imperium was formed by a few pioneering students from the Ateneo de Manila University; their perceived goal was to establish a unified and orderly government system whose ideals were founded on order, security, liberty, and equality. Logic is tantamount in virtually all legal proceedings, and no room for consistent error is tolerated.

The political turmoil and disunity that was prevalent in the Republic of the Philippines triggered this onslaught of ideas, leading our beloved students to their quest of glorious domination. After years of political and social progression, the students emerged as top political figures, and they presented their proposed reforms to the public. Although met with some resistance from radical libertarian groups, along with the Church, their dreams of a glorious empire came true, elevating the once third-world nation into a formidable country worthy of world domination. The resulting Imperium was named after its primary founder's name: Martin Victorino S. Cusi.

Government and Politics
Vicuscia rests its strength on a constitutional monarchy. A simple overview of the general chain of command is as follows.

->Democratic vote of the people -> Sectoral Deliberations Court (formalizes the position of a sector/region to be presented to the BoA) -> Central Board of Analysis (analyzes the majority vote, and its ramifications) -> Imperial Senate (inspects the BoA's report, and hosts a vote independent of the people) -> Emperor (inspects the results of both the BoA and the Senate, and formalizes an -almost- final decision)

As to what the above might suggest, the Emperor's decision is NOT final, and can be overruled by a combined 80% majority vote of the members of the Imperial Senate and the BoA. Further appeals may be undertaken, but this will not be taken into detail.

The government exerts a rather tight grip on internal affairs, but not to the point of overtly infringing upon civil rights. In a sense, it may be labeled as a 'benevolent dictatorship'.

Order, security, liberty (by this, we mean civil rights), and equality are primary principles. Vicuscia is a tolerant nation, as long as one does not engage in activities that undermine the said principles.

Foreign Relations
The Vicuscian Imperium is a member of both the red team and the NPO; we have deemed it beneficial to our nation to join the NPO due to its remarkable efforts in securing order in the Cybernations world.

Economy
The Vicuscian Imperium holds a steadfast and strong economy. The bulk of its strength is derived from various trades in the NPO; our high standards in the production of Iron and Gems may be thanked for this.

Languages
English and Filipino are languages spoken by the majority, but a steadily increasing minority sect has become rather proficient with German. The former is primarily used for formal business and legal matters, while the latter is used for everyday conversation.

Religion
With regards to the unprecedented progress that the Imperium has had in the fields of science and philosophy, Nontheism has become predominant the predominant 'religion' of the nation, although a handful of die-hard catholics still hold on to their faith.

Military
The military forces of Vicuscia are almost always in plain view of the public; Red Guards are stationed at every intersection and government building in the state.

Although science and technology are the primary pursuits of Vicuscia, the people in general know not of the military's involvement in such, but a few military press releases such as this may give them a substantial hint.
