Novayanas Aautokrata

The Novayanas Aautokrata, translated as the Novayan Empire or Novayan Imperium, is an empire in the Void and the post-Unification period of Novaya. As a polity, it encompassed from Greater Novaya to Medisong, Cilenia, Mitugonaruso, Ianiotis, Eapiocia, Gleogilan, Giabbeotall, Riapeoven, Aldendra, Koamia, Oimo, Goldlund, Phrai, Oyugus, Shummodalar, Eabrilas, Uvirhia, and Vriaxodore, ruled by aautokratirs or emperors. From the accession of Konstantinos Norsoutha to the military anarchy of the 13th eon, it was a principate with Greater Novaya as metropole of the regions and the city of Moralesopolis as capital. After the crisis of the 13th eon, the empire is still ruled by the emperor or multiple emperors who shared rule over the Dytiki Novayanas Aautokrata and the Anatoliki Novayanas Aautokrata; after the chaos of the 21st century, additional reforms saw the rise of the Imperial Knights, nobles who lead armies and rule over provinces or even duchies administered by the imperial government.
==Government and military==
The major elements of the Imperial Novayan state were the central government, the nobility, the military, the governorates, and the despotates.
===Central government===
The central government is centered around the aautokratir, or emperor, who ruled the Novayanas Aautokrata. Assisting him or her in the administrative duties is the Imperial Senate, which is responsible for passing as well as repealing and revising laws. Below the imperial government were the nobility, aristocratic families who hold considerable power throughout the various provinces and regions.
===Military===
After the Novayan conquest of Koamia, the Imperial Novayan military consists of professional soldiers who volunteered for 20 years of active duty and five as reserves. As part of its structure, a reserve force allows for the largest mobilization of troops should a war begins. The core of a Novayan army were the legionaries, the comitatenses, and the phalangites, potentially backed by large levies. Unlike the heavy infantry and pikemen, levies only have militia and basic military training but what they make up for discipline they make up in numbers. Supporting the Novayan army were various orders such as the Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller, Knights of the Void, Null Guards, Dreamweaver Order, Titanspeaker Order, as well as several others, though such orders would only support the war effort it involves liberation or responding to invasions of neutral countries.
Following the Crusader Kings III formula of cultural men-at-arms (if made into a mod) the Novayanas Aautokrata's men-at-arms (including those of the Novayans' vassal states) consist of the following cultures:
