Civil War (Prussian Unification)
(Main article: Tenarran Civil War)

The Prussian Unification, also known as the Ternarran Civil War, was the nine-month series of events that led to the creation of the Prussian Empire. The war was between 3 factions - the Imperialists, the Revolutionists, and the Loyalists. By the end of the war, the Imperialists had essentially full control of the nation that was previously Tenarra.

The conflict, though relatively short, involved the death of 10 million people, one of the highest war-related death rates historically in the nations that had made up Tenarra. Prussian war historians attribute this to the use of modern weapons technology in blitz tactics, and the conscription of hundreds of thousands for use by the different factions. Collateral damage was also high due to the heavy bombing of many of the major cities in Tenarra, like.

(Main article: Council of Ministers)



The Council of Ministers, or CoM, is the main governing body of the Empire. While the Senate goes through a long process to debate bills that the people wish to put in place, the CoM does not.

The Council of Ministers is responsible not only for making laws, but also for the general management of the Empire. This includes maintaining order, construction, industry, economy, military, and all other aspects of the Dominion. It is directed by the Chief of General Staff. The Chief has the power to enact new policy and to, if necessary, veto the decisions of the Ministers.


 * Since the Minister of Executive and Foreign Affairs happens to also be the Chief of General Staff, the Deputy-Minister of Executive and Foreign Affairs takes his place on the Council.


 * If the Chief of General Staff is absent, the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor takes his place.


 * Ministers are able to make decisions individually, the Council of Minister's main purpose is to present ideas for policy to the Chief of General Staff and the other Ministers for approval. It is not a body that only makes decisions singularly, such as the Senate.


 * The Council meets in the Palace of Quarthe every month.

The Imperial Senate - Reichsrat
(Main article: Imperial Senate)



The Imperial Senate is the democratic governing body of the Empire. There are 100 senators elected, 1 for each district of Prussia.

The Chief of General Staff may decline any bill that he feels will compromise the security and order of the Empire.


 * The Senate is managed by an appointed Senate Chairman who oversees the operations of the Senate, approves ideas for bills, and signs approved bills to send to the Chief of General Staff. In order to receive the office of Chairman, one must be nominated and given a majority vote by the Senate.  The current Chairman is Heinrich Kern.
 * The Chairman of the Senate can choose to refuse to pass a bill into the Senate for a vote, turning it into a "dead" bill.
 * The Senate may be suspended at any time by the Chief of General Staff.
 * Senators are elected every two years.

Political Parties - Politische Parteien
The Prussian Empire currently has a multi-party system in place. The current parties are: the Monarchist Faction, the Socialist Party, and the Conservative Party.

The Monarchist faction is currently the most powerful, with a majority in the Senate.

All members of the Council of Ministers must also be a member of the Monarchist Faction.

Administrative Districts - Landkreise
The Empire is divided into five different states, each under the jurisdiction of an Imperial Governor. Each state has a certain number of districts, which is determined by the importance of that state to the collective security of the union of states that make up the Dominion.

The five states of Prussia and their Governors are as follows:
 * The State of     - Imperial Governor Ludwig Heinkel - 34 districts - 
 * The State of     - Imperial Governor Karl Schacht - 25 districts -

 * The State of  - Imperial Governor Alfred Grosse - 1 district - 

The Imperial Governors are overseen personally by the Chief of General Staff. Their duty is to obey orders given by the Chief of General Staff or the Chancellor on the governance of each State. They are also responsible for maintaining order within their state through the use of police forces and media censorship. Each state is governed from that state's capital.

The Six Points of Growth - Sechs Punkte des Wachstums
After being appointed Chief of General Staff, Alfred von Schliefen set down a growth program called the Six Points of Growth. This program plays a huge role in the operation of the Ministries in the Dominion, as they lay down the most important objectives of the government.


 * Bring economic growth through trade and buying technologies.
 * Encourage civil order through police funding and.
 * Conduct technological research with increased funding to peaceful and Military research projects.
 * Increase industrial power by investing in industrial projects.
 * Build military strength through better training programs and increased funding for equipment.
 * Begin nuclear research to develop a nuclear weapons program.

Von Schliefen is confident that his growth program will allow for the Dominion to become a true world player, and a force to be reckoned with.

The Constitution
Law in the Prussian Empire is maintained through the document known as the Verfassung der Reichsgründung, or the Constitution of the Empire. The document itself is fairly short, citing the powers held by the major figures and organizations within the Dominion. Basically, it outlines that the Chief of General Staff hold ultimate power that only he or his death can cede to another, and that he has authority over every institution and office within the Dominion. The Constitution also lays down the basic structure of the Chief of General Staff's administration, as well as what power each individual has.

The current Chief of General Staff, Alfred von Schliefen, has stated the document as being the law of the land in the Dominion, and that any attempt at breaking the laws within will be met with the most extreme force.

Most of the central and northern territory of the Dominion is flat, with large agricultural production; and the southern parts are largely mountainous, where many of the nation's mining operations occur.

Global Warming

It has withdrawn from all international agreements on global warming and emission reduction, and has also placed policies in place that will allow for coal production to continue, though it has placed money aside for researching new types of energy technology.

Acknowledging the historical ice ages occurring in cycles, the Prussian Empire has negotiated an agreement with the, as well as putting aside funds, in case of a need to evacuate Prussian citizens in another European ice age.

Pollution
Regarding pollution as being a major problem for both public health and the ecosystem, the Prussian Empire enforces a pollution policy of limiting the amounts of toxic by-products being released into the environment. By having officials check industrial production every year, Alfred von Schliefen hopes to continue to have a low output of pollution into the environment. Research is underway to try to have a safe toxin removal method by 2020.
