Collectum Mechanicus

"*There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal."*
"There is no strength in flesh, only weakness."

"There is no constancy in flesh, only decay."

"There is no certainty in flesh but death.*"*

The Collectum Mechanicus is a name given to the collective of Mechanicus , or or The Cult of Mechanicus , or The Cult of The Machine , as what its name used to be . Such collective does not exist in a natural state , meaning it has a history of war , politics or intrigue as other imperial human nations may have , but nonetheless , it is made for something much greater . It is not only a collective of beings , but a collective of belief , minds and spirit , that work together like a clock .

### Summary of today's Mechanicus

The Collectum is very isolationist , seeing strangers that do not look like them as inferiors and racism is very common for outsiders . People that are born in The Mechanicus that dont look like the common folk , then in the other stages of life like teenage or adulthood , dont agree to the ideals of The Cult , they are judged as traitors and executed . The diplomats of other nation are kept with respect in the quarters of Consilio Universa , where they are advised not to go in populated ares , as some fanatics might get the idea of doing something stupid . Even though they are isolationist and sceptical towards other cultures , they themselves call themselves very expansionist in any way of life . May that be industry , in which they wish to ever expand it , science , in which they want to learn more and more , and cultists , in which they want to spread The Light of The Machine God everywhere they can . But this ideals still havent been incorporated in the military , in which it still keeps a doctrine of defensive precautions . That makes it not as big as other nations , in which they value more discipline , training and defensive structures then quantity . Their ideas of collectivism seem very similar to those of the new wave of communism , but they do not wish to deal with other species and people which dont have the same ideas as them . This has put them back in the diplomatic stage and influence , but it is of little interest to them.

### The Hierarchy

The highest body of The Mechanicus is The Committee , a group of representatives from every point of interest of the collective , may it be inside the nation , or outside . The Committee itself gets to decide who gets in it , or out of it . The Committee is the executive , the legislative and the jurisdictional branch

The next important body of power is The Cult . Even though The Committee has immense power, The Cult is everything , everyone that is born inside the borders is a member of it , and has one only ruler , High Priest Ludocius Visius . Even though his presence and power is known everywhere , he is a shadow that the ones who meet him are very few and very powerful

### The Beginning

245 Years ago , The Great Voyage happened , where this new land was found and settled , even though hard and wild , it was well positioned and a defensive position for anybody who would want to overthrow The Cult . Before The Voyage , the believers were scattered over the whole continents , everyone with their own Cult for The Machine God . Oppression and tragedy followed them anywhere , as no society would accept them or their beliefs
