Imperial Remnant

Work in Progress
== History ==
In the aftermath of the East Europan Revolution, the Imperial loyalists fortified themselves in the north-western provinces of the Empire. Using their access to superior firepower (Largely thanks to the Artificial Valkyria prototypes and super heavy armor regiments that were successfully evacuated) and taking full advantage of the region’s easily defendable mountainous terrain, they were able to repeal every single attempt by the newly established UEESR regime to ‘bring them into the fold’.
After a few more years of constant border skirmishes, the two sides, communicating though, ironically, the natural Gallian government, came to an unofficial ‘understanding’: Neither side will recognize the other, as they both view themselves as the sole legitimate government of East Europa, and the other side as ‘rebels’. However, they did agree to a ceasefire that will enable them to focus their energies on much more pressing domestic concerns. With that agreement, the civil war came unofficially came to an end.
When the Empire’s provisional ruling council was established towards the end of the civil war, it was never intended to be in power for long, and it’s leaders were operating under the assumption that once the loyalist forces regrouped, the revolution will be crushed, and they will be able to work out who is next in line to be crowned as the new Emperor.
But now with the fighting coming to an end, the Imperial Remnant not only realized that there is no longer another true heir to the throne with the assassination of the royal family, they will not be able to reclaim the rest of the country anytime soon. They are effectively an empire without an actual emperor.
A power sharing arrangement was eventually reached, with the establishment of a Regency Council consisting of the 4 most eligible claimants to the throne (The 4 nobles that managed to preserve the largest amount of wealth after the revolution) serving as the temporary highest authority for the Empire and manages it’s day to day affairs until they agree upon who should be the new Emperor. True power, however, lays in the hands of a clique of top military commanders, who once politely pointed out to the nobles that the loyalist military is the only reason why they are not all hanging from the nearest trees or telegraph poles by now. As such, the Imperial Remnant is effectively run as a military dictatorship in everything but name.
While reduced to nothing but a shadow of it’s former glory, the Imperial Remnant was by no means insignificant. It sits on a high defendable location, with a surprisingly effective military armed with an extraordinary mix of outdated equipment straight out of EWII serving alongside the most cutting edge modern prototypes and experimental weapons. The Empire also managed to retain a portion of it’s pre-war colonial holding. With overseas territories from the Central Alkebulan jungles to the Central Asian mountains of Annapurna supplying them with colonial troops to strength their ranks and raw materials to feed their industry.
But with two decades already having passed, it is clear to everyone that the Empire is in desperate need of political, economic, and social reforms. While its rivals are making leaps and bounds in their own social development, what is left of the Empire staggers along barely keeping up with the times. It’s hopes of retaking their homeland, let alone taking revenge against the Federation and Gallia, seems more distant with each passing day. They did eventually take basic their homeland but in exchange they had to join the Atlantic Federation and become a constitutional monarchy and crown the nearest royal descendant emperor .
