Flag of the Grob Magna Empire

The **Grob Magna Empire** also known as the **Eighth Empire**, is an island country that, just like the United States, has been magically transferred against the will of its citizens to Inkarnaten. Originally located on a very Earth-like, magic-free, human-only planet called Valkyria, the Grob Magna Empire has been entirely relocated to the waters west of the Anmut Region, Magmell. Characterized by its militaristic culture and imperialistic but rationalistic foreign policy. Grob Magna is frequently considered one of the great powers of the world.

Most of the Grob Magna technologies are shown to reaches the WW2 technology level, although it seems that some areas may have crossed that boundary.

## Culture

Imperial society is a reference to German culture, both in architecture and in society itself. The Empire retains customs and practices held over from medieval times, and its people are known to harbor conservative views. An outstanding aspect of society is that they have mostly abandoned racial discrimination against the other minor ethnic groups of the Empire, being accepted within the nation. Most customs and behaviors have also been accepted within what is considered normal, with the exception of certain " *aberrations* " such as homosexuality.

## Politics

Grob Magna is a semi-federal semi-constitutional monarchy ruled by the Emperor. According to the Imperial Constitution, its Chancellor and Government are appointed by - and answer only to - the Emperor. Legislation however has to be approved by the Senate, a chamber elected proportionally by universal suffrage, and the Imperial Council, consisting of representatives from each of the states.

## Military Strength

The Empire military is one of the most powerful in all of Inkarnaten due to the Empire's technological advanced. Its many military successes have been possible thanks to its level of technology well above the average of the Inkarnaten countries, comparable to that of the most advanced countries on Earth during World War II, although it seems that some areas may have crossed that boundary. The Empire places a heavy emphasis on armor and large caliber weapons, with many of its tanks greatly out-massing their Earth counterparts.

### **Army**

The Empire is known for its superior armaments. It has one of the most outstanding and advanced army in Valkyria. The Imperial Army is supplied with relatively advanced equipment, so much so that they've gone beyond believing in firepower supremacy and more in obeying it as accepted doctrine. The Empire places a heavy emphasis on armor and large caliber weapons, with many of its tanks greatly out-massing their Earth counterparts.

### **Navy**

The Empire has no dedicated air force, but both its army and navy have their own aviation services. Their Army Aviation is mostly composed of fighter, and is supplemented by twin-engine bombers and dive-bomber. Their main goals are to achieve air superiority, launch aerial assaults, bombardments and support the ground forces/surface fleets. They do have a long-range, ultra-heavy bomber for high-altitude carpet bombing.

### **Airforce**

The Imperial Navy is the most powerful force in their armed forces, fielding well over 1100 warships of all kinds, from high-speed destroyers to giant battleships and aircraft carriers.
