The Crimson Empire

**Overview**

The Banner of the Crimson Empire

The Crimson Empire, or TCE abbreviated, is the nation in the far eastern reaches of the New World. Created by the 3 Kitsunes, Remiko, Kana, and June, they are the remnants of an old Dynasty from the old world. Their architecture and style is similar to the Japanese theme of the real world.

**History**

The Crimson Empire was founded after the Remiko and Kana split off from their parents and Blood Dynasty during a brutal war. Due to this war, their old home was devastated and unusable. Hearing promises of riches and land in the New World, the duo sailed their way to this grand new place. During their travels, they had stumbled upon Ms. June, Taking her into their care and bringing them along with them. They arrived at the new World, soon coming Across Sir Almond from the Volden Empire. After some discussions, Almond assisted the trio in exploring the lands and they soon found an isolated island to the East. Settling down, the Trio called their new island home "Nihonshima" and constructed their first Houses. Once stable, they expanded and formed their own town called "Yokosuka", to which they still live today.

The precursor to Crimson Empire, Blood Dynasty, was ran by their parents, who's names are lost to time and war. They were a combat intensive Dynasty, often claiming lands through warfare rather then diplomatic relations. Their daughter Remiko was very vocal towards this hostility, and soon was banished from the Dynasty when she gathered a following to stop the bloodshed. Remiko's Elder Sister Kana was favored by her parents, and was unaware of their actions until she realized the absence of her sister. Filled with anger and disappointment, she explored the lands until she found her Sister on an isolated island, taking her back and starting a Civil War inside Blood Dynasty against their parents. This civil war lasted for 2 years, until the eventual collapse of the economy and the downfall of Blood Dynasty. Now out of options, no nations would harbor or welcome the two sisters due to their royal connection to the Dynasty Family. Due to this, they had no option but to abandon their loyal subjects and leave the old world, sailing towards the new world with their newly found adopted sister June.

**The New World**

Today, Crimson Empire is a thriving peaceful nation often relying on trading and agriculture to sustain themselves. Often trading with the Volden Empire and the Imperium of Astilia, they grow exotic foods and brew hard liquors to sell, while buying hard to obtain resources that they cannot obtain on their island, such as Iron and Weapons. While not war focused, the Empire is far from a pushover nation, with several key members known for their war filled past and their hidden arsenal buried deep within their walls. While avoiding public affairs between Nations, the Crimson Empire watches from the sidelines and profits unless directly involved.

**Architecture**

Their Architecture resembles much of traditional japan from the old world. often using Dark Oak, Deep Slate, and Quartz, Their structures are more ornamental in nature. Their capital of Yokosuka is by far the most decorated town they own, while the new town of Osaka is more agricultural and farm based. They have built several key buildings such as an Embassy, a Pagoda Hotel, and a large Capital building in Yokosuka, along with a Dock for trading and fishing. Their island also is home to a whole bunch of Red Foxes, often seen as divine by the Crimson Empire. They treasure their foxes, often making sure they are comfortable on their island and protecting them from harm.

**Summary**

Being a nation on their own island, they don't have any fear of border conflicts or wars on their own soil. Due to this, they have built large ports for not only trading purposes, but for defense in the possible event of a war. Their Navy is their primary means of defense, preventing hostile forces from even stepping foot on their shores. In the event they do manage to invade, The Walls protecting their towns often result in chokepoints, in which the Military can defend from a distance.

The Crimson Empire also brings their own unique items to the New World. A drink called "Sake" has been seen being produced by them and exported in limited quantities.

As the New World develops, The Crimson Empire continues to expand its reach in the East. Some refer to it as the "Eastern Dragon", or "The Slumbering Fox of the East", due to their Quiet and reserved nature, and mysterious whereabouts.
