Expansio Imperii

Template:Quote
Able to survive on a variety of different worlds unaided, the Predaconian race is nothing if not adaptable—and that adaptability has led great waves of migration, colonization, and outright conquest in the name of the Imperium: a great diaspora that has been termed the **Expansion**.

## Mottos

### “Manifestus Destinatusm”

It means that the Empire exists not for the benefit—economic or strategic or otherwise—of Predaconia, itself, but in order that primitive peoples, incapable of self-government, can, with Predaconian guidance, eventually become civilised. It refers that it was, is, and always shall be Predaconia’s, and by Translatio Imperii the Imperium’s right to claim land from the the beginning of the universe to the end and far beyond.

### “Universum Nostrum”

Universum Nostrum, translating to *"Our Universe, "* refers to the ideal that the entire universe belongs to the Predaconians.

### “Imperium Mundi”

Imperium Mundi means that Predaconia and Rifaria is the capital of the entire universe, economically, hereditarily, and officially.

### “Dominium Mundi”

***Dominium mundi*** is an idea of universal dominion developed in the on-going Expansion. D*ominium mundi* implied the recognition of one supreme authority, the Imperium, over all.

All of these are religious vassals holding imperial immediacy, and are Prince-Bishops as well as Bishop-Electors.

	+ Status Pontificis (State of the Pontificate, rules by the Pontifex Maximus)
	+ Status Ecclesiasticus (State of the Church, ruled by the Pope.)

(Due to the special relation between the Emperors and the Predaconus Primes, it is possible for the States of the Church and the Pontificate to both enjoy Imperial Immediacy and be a vassal to the State of Religion.)

* Electoratus Moguntinus
* Electoratus Treverensis
* Electoratus Coloniam

## Areas, Status, and Autonomy

Template:Quote3

The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom

### *Regnum Consortionalis* (Commonwealth realm)

A Commonwealth realm is an autonomous state which is part of the Imperium and has Draconicus the Great, Holy Predaconian Emperor as its monarch and head of state. Each realm functions as an independent co-equal kingdom from the other realms, all equal in status, united under the *indivisible and inseparable* Imperium. Predaconia itself has the title of *Caput Mundi*, “Capital of the Universe”.
