The government is now just the whims of a few people. It truly fell when Agop went to sleep, Naron had problems that attracted the cars away, Sgt. One Eyed died, Captain Midgey left off to deal with things (and is still off in Xiria), and mostly now that General Sester Gartaf, Charlie Parker, Senecca Hawthorne, and Barney Funkle have the most power there and run the town. An empire's no good unless the empire truly leads and the rules are followed. And it's practically a criminal group with their people skills. Don't bother talking with new spawners, just spout that they broke the law and must die. Whatever happened to "Hey, I see you're new here. You are in the Alexian Empire. Please look at the laws, as you are breaking them. I understand you likely do not understand how things work here. I hope I can help you.". Actually trying to work things out. That's how it was when all Agop, Charlie, and Midgey were dealing with new people. Now it's just "You are breaking the law! Stop or die!". And then they take all the citizens resources and hoard them. No more citizen's quarters, no taking citizens to the outlaying regions within the empire, no effective manager of either citizen productivity or citizen recruitment, no building of tools or vehicles to improve the lifestyle.
The leaders have forgotten the mission. And those that haven't are thinking of a different mission. I suspect this is mostly the case. Frankly, I'm glad all the new spawns are killed. No more power to the now corrupt, ineffective, unproductive, merciless, no tolerance empire. The former glory is gone, and I wish death upon the lingering impression gone wrong.
First I hope they take out Alenz Hills. That would spice up the region.
Well, I see you don't know how the Empire is ran. Things are going back to the way they were under Emperor Alexi Romanov. Emperor Agop Pasdfui was an idealist who believed that things could go right by being the good guy. That is why I think the Empire fell apart was because he was too soft and that Sester left for Xiria to fight the rebels and Charlie tried to take over. When Sester returned with his men, Charlie knew he was screwed because he sent out Captain Midgey and the men loyal to him to find and kill Sester. Hawethorne got into the mix and so did Hildebrand and sided with Sester who then said he would support Hawethorne as the new emperor until Agop woke up. That didn't happen as they found Agop dead after Charlie finally gave up the keys. Then Hawethorne was made emperor. And then Nuess woke up. Major Funkle is under Sester's orders as well as are all the other Imperial Guardsmen in at least Ladvicitavoi. Hildebrand is in charge of citizen productivity and as I said things are going back to the way they were under Emperor Alexi Romanov and when the Empire was in a Golden Age.
And by the way, Captain Midgey and his men are dead. They were taken out by mercenaries from DoUrden Estates who wanted to get some revenge for the murder of their leader, Zak DoUrden.
