**Sanguis Aeternus**, officially the **Imperial Palatinate of Sanguis Aeternus**, and formerly known as **James Mapper**, is a large country in the southern region of Masnar. It borders the nations of Fulfordian Mapping, Pickleman, Snowycat, the XZ1 Empire, the Republic of Gemonia, and the Tephys Republic.

### History in Viewer Wars

Sanguis Aeternus officially joined Viewer Wars in Ep.3 - "Rebellion And Allies", under the name **James Mapper**. He wanted originally wanted to build a canal in order to help his economy with the help of Fulfordian Mapping (formerly Imperial NYC Mapping), but he was betrayed by Fulfordian in Ep.4 - "Backstab", who tried to trick Sanguis Aeternus by disguising his troops as workers. But Sanguis Aeternus was able to see his actions through the comments section, and he was able to make significant gains in land and power through Operation Thunderbolt. Eventually, the war ended in a stalemate, and neither side gained territory. Sanguis Aeternus also gained small colonies from the XZ1 Empire and the Tephys Republic after threatening to support the Republic of Gemonia, which had invaded both the XZ1 Empire and the Tephys Republic. Ep.4 Also saw Sanguis Aeternus gain a new hat.

Sanguis Aeternus created Pax Imperatoria during Ep.5 "Discovery" in order to defend himself. He left the Bsuter League since he believed that it wouldn't help him anyways. The betrayal from Fulfordian gave him a feeling of insecurity, so he believed that he should make a more powerful and trustworthy alliance to defend himself from any threats. Eventually, his army became so powerful that he was deemed as a threat by the Bsuter League. Pax Imperatoria eventually grew in Ep. 6 - "Demands", where the Republic of Kiwistan, Federal Union of Panderia, Nova Ukraine, and the Kingdom of Italy joined his alliance.

Sanguis Aeternus didn't do much in Ep.7 - "Rise + Revalations", but he did show concern after Masia revealed a new continent full of new nations, and changed his name from James Mapper to Sanguis Aeternus.

In Ep.8 - "New Threats", Many new nations joined Pax Imperatoria, but the Technocratic Republic of Mokitav and the Dominican Republic of Pixandrea soon left to make their own alliance, the Southwestern Ocean Alliance. However, Pax and SWOA still maintained good relations. Following these events was a second invasion attempt by Fulfordian, who got absolutely destroyed by all of Pax, and was forced to give up his western territories to Sanguis Aeternus.

### Government

Sanguis Aeternus used to be a unitary one-party communist state, but changed to an absolute monarchy. The monarch is chosen through a normal succession system seen in previous nations like Britain, France, and Spain. The monarch is crowned Emperor of Sanguis Aeternus and hold most of, if not all the power in the nation. The monarch does have an elite team of nobles called the Senate to help him run the nation, along with an Empress for marriage and a Dowager for taking care of any Princes and Princesses. The Emperor also has 9 Consuls that would act as the leaders of the Senate. The 9 Consuls are chosen through elections in 9 imperial provinces that may or may not be rigged in favor of the Emperor's taste. These 9 Consuls will also bring a certain number of representatives from their respective provinces, based on each provinces population.

### Relationships

Sanguis Aeternus has relatively healthy relationships with all nations in Pax and SWOA, and any other members who came through the Neo-Kyivan Rus server. He might still have hostile relations with Pickleman, but since the Bsuter League disbanded, Pickleman has no real international political power over Sanguis Aeternus anymore. He still has hostile relations with the Etronian-Snowycat Alliance, since members of Pax believed that the Republic of Nadvia had forced a smaller alliance to unite with them, making a mega alliance that could threaten Pax's influence. Sanguis Aeternus's best relations are probably with Panderia. Both nations have been fond of each other for quite some time, and they are currently both in Pax. Sanguis Aeternus has even funded Panderia's conquest of ethnic Panderian lands from the TBN84 Imperium.

### Political Divisions

The nation is split up into 10 main regions, or provinces. These 10 imperial provinces are Septentrion, Chorum, Anguli, Oreintum, Meridia, Centrum, Occidens, Poseitune, Terminus, and Magna Nasca.
These 10 provinces are then split up into governates, which are then split up into imperial cantons, which are then split into cities and townships. The one exception is Imperial City Nasca, which counts as its own governate due to its extremely dense population, despite only being the size of a city. Each of these political divisions have their own forms of government that the people (presumably) get to mostly elect.

### Military

One of the things most prized by the Imperial Palatinate is their military strength. Overall, Sanguis Aeternus is one of the most militarized nations in all of Masnar. They mostly focus on military training and tactics. Due to the nation's repeated history of collapsing and reuniting, the nation has been at war for over 90% of their time, with most of the peace kept in the more modern age. This intense military background gave Sanguis Aeternus one of the best and most well-trained militaries on Masnar, and they are frequently recruited by other nations as mercenaries or military instructors. They are also known for having one of the largest militaries, due to the nation having a large population, and their military technology is often shared with their allies in Pax Imperatoria. This allowed the alliance to create their own military technology, which Sanguis Aeternus was able to adopt. Sanguis Aeternus often uses this military strength to spread influence, but most of the time, it's for defensive purposes. Because the terrain of the nation was most made of forests, the local militias in the nation were extremely skilled in guerilla warfare.
