The Central Empire

The Central Empire is a nation from the Midland Plain of Rynrakem. It was Established in 2407 IC "The first year of the Empire", and is the largest civilisation on Rynrakem.
The Central Empire is a constitutional monarchy with a government system based on military autocracy. The government is headed by the Sovereign, who is the absolute power in the Empire, and advised by the Imperial Lord Council. The Council includes the seats for the Lord Commander and Lord Defender, who are the closest military advisors to the Sovereign and responsible for the defense of the Empire.
The House of Stewards is another important component of the government. It is composed of appointed members who represent the interests of industries, guilds, districts, and states. The House debates and decides on policies that affect the Empire's economy, society, and politics.
In addition to the Imperial Lord Council and the House of Stewards, there are other government offices responsible for specific areas of governance. The Internal Affairs office manages policing and judiciary affairs, while the External Affairs office is responsible for border defense and conquest.
The Central Empire's government system is designed to maintain stability and order while allowing for efficient decision-making. The combination of a constitutional monarchy and military autocracy ensures that the Sovereign has the necessary power to defend the Empire and maintain its unity, while the House of Stewards allows for representation of various interests and ensures that policies are carefully considered before implementation.
==Locations==
=== The Midland Plain: ===
The centre point of the Empire, the Midland Plain (Midland, The Plains, The Empire) is the homeland of the Central Empire. It is a large continent to the central south east on Rynrakem. It is mostly hilly and mountainous grassland with plenty of agricultural areas and woodland. All across the Midland plain are thousands of ancient ruins from previous civilisations.
===Valcester:===
Valcester is a small volcanic island off the south coast of Kha’Frri. Valcester is an Imperial Overseas Territory under Imperial Unilateral Sovereignty. It is home to the Sovereign Bank of Valcester, one of the largest banks in the Central Empire. The volcanic island’s peaks are rich with seams of gold ore, which has been mined continuously since the island was colonised. Valcester has a natural harbour that is protected by high rock walls and pillars, as well as vicious white waters and rocky crags in the shallows surrounding the island. This gives Valcester an incredibly effective natural defence, meaning the island had never fallen to siege in all its years.
==Cities==
Lionrun: 
The Capital of the Empire as of 3000, Lionrun was built atop a small port town on the north-west coast of the midland. It is considered a feat of civil engineering as it is built across a river delta to allow vast natural shipping lanes to access Lionrun's large industrial districts.
(Tourist attractions include: Djorer House 'The Empress' Residence', The Unknown Obelisk, Lionrun Cathedral, Lionrun Barracks, The Governing District.)
Louisberg:
Louisberg is another industrial city on the east coast of The Midland Plain. Initially a fishing town, it transformed over many hundreds of years into a technologically advanced super-city. Louisberg is home to the Empire's "Magnus Cerebro" a secret society made up of Scientists, Engineers and Intellectuals.
(Tourist attractions include: Louisberg Capital Building, Magnus Cerebro Lodge, The Oceangate.)
Willowshire: 
Connected by directly by river to Lionrun, Willowshire is the centre of Imperial Agriculture. It is a big busy city, with farmland stretching for miles from its borders. It is connected by rail to the rest of the Empire by rail and easily ships its produce across the Empire.
