Bonapartism

**Bonapartism** is a monotheistic religion based of the life and teachings of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I. It's adherents, known as **Bonapartists** believe that Napoleon Bonaparte I is the supreme deity, and that he is capable of reincarnation into a worthy host.

Bonapartism began as one of many small religious sect in Marseille in 2059. By 2064, it had spread throughout Marseille and its surrounding country.

## Sacred Texts of Napoleon Bonaparte

Bonapartists follow a strict moral code and code of law. The former being **Liberté égalité fraternité**, and the latter being the **Napoleonic Code**.

### Liberté égalité fraternité!

"Liberté égalité fraternité!" is an ancient religious saying passed down to us by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I: He arrived in Paris seeing mass starvation, while **King Ancien** **of France** held lavish parties and ate of the finest feasts. Napoleon Bonaparte led the French people in revolt; starting the **French Revolution**. And in the days the followed the French Revolution, after King Ancien's trial, as his execution took place it is said that Napoleon Bonaparte shouted these words so that all Frenchmen could hear it, not just in Paris, but as far as Marseille, "Liberté égalité fraternité!"

**Liberté** means being able to do anything that does not harm others: thus, the exercise of the natural rights of every man or woman has no bounds other than those that guarantee other members of society the enjoyment of these same rights.

**égalité** teaches that the Law must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in its eyes, shall be equally eligible to all high offices, public positions and employments, according to their ability, and without other distinction than that of their virtues and talents.

**fraternité** is the fact that ever man and woman has a duty to their community to uplift their fellow man and uphold the **Napoleonic Code**. Community is what binds people together, that causes us to unite to uphold our principles, and all come together under one common cause.

### Napoleonic Code

The Napoleonic Code is a codex of law written by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I. While it has general laws written in it as well; the Napoleonic Code is designed to be streamlined; and recognizes the principles of civil liberty, equality, as well as increasing the clarity and accessibility of law to it's citizens.

### Dark Coalition Wars

According to the sacred texts, Paris and all of France was under siege by during an insurrection of evil Ancien royalists. Napoleon saw that France was in peril. He saw evil forces at work in Paris charging the Great Tuileries, and he brought forth force a thunderous explosion that cleansed all of the streets of Paris of the Ancien threat, leaving those of good character untouched. He then gathered an army as he walked through the streets of Paris. He bestowed upon them the **Maxims of War** and taught them to fight like lions!

France was surrounded on all sides by the 2nd Dark Coalition and so Napoleon Bonaparte marched towards Italy, where the 2nd Dark Coalition had corrupted the locals way of life. As Napoleon Bonaparte marched through Italy and liberated town after town, the Italians cheered him on, praising him for freeing them of the clutches of the 2nd Dark Coalition. Napoleon Bonaparte then pushed onwards into Austrian land, defeating their great Archduke and coming within 100 kms of Vienna. The cowardly Austrians finally sued for peace, which Napoleon dictated on no uncertain terms. The Italians he had previously liberated begged Napoleon to join arms with him and France. And so it was: Northern Italy was free from the yoke of Austrian and 2nd Dark Coalition oppression and openly allowed to join France.

After his great victory in Austria, he elected to go the Egypt, where he rediscovered the **Pyramids** and discovered the **Rosetta Stone**. While Napoleon won several victories in Egypt, his navy was destroyed by the British Sea-Devil Admiral Nelson. Unfortunately, without Napoleon Bonaparte's watchful eye over France, France had suffered a series of defeats. Upon hearing this, he returned home. Hearing that Italy had been lost in his absence, he charged forth into Italy in force, once again capitulating Austria, and liberating even more of Italy to the French cause.

#### The Crowning of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte

Peace had finally been signed in 1802 between France and the cowardly 2nd Coalition. It was in this period of peace that the people of France elected to recognize him as their deity, and voted him as their Emperor in a plebiscite by 99%. This Title was created for Napoleon Bonaparte to signify him as the divine savior of France, and has been used as a holy title ever since then. The religious ritual Napoleon Bonaparte undertook is the very same religious ritual that is used for succession of the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

Angered by the passion and devotion of the French people to their God, the jealous British once again declared war on the French Empire and formed the 3rd Dark Coalition. The corrupt and mislead nations of Europe joined the Dark Coalition in fear of retaliation from the Cruel British. War was once again on Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's doorsteps, and he embraced the foolishness of his enemy.

He valiantly marched 70,000 men to Austerlitz to fight the **3rd Dark Coalition**, in what is called the **Battle of the Three Emperors**, where 2 non-believer pretenders to the holy title of Emperor gathered with the forces of the Dark Coalition. Napoleon Bonaparte I's army was outnumbered heavily, but Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I lured his enemies armies into a clever trap, where tens of thousands of the Dark Coalition perished. It is during this battle, that Napoleon Bonaparte I fought valiantly in a 1v2 dual against the two pretending Emperors, finally ending the cowardly engagement by chopping both of their heads off in one clean swing of his sword. It was with the Battle of the Three Emperors that Napoleon I vanquished the 3rd Dark Coalition from Europe; proving himself to be the sole and rightful Emperor by besting the heretic pretenders in 1v2 combat. It is for this reason that the site of Austerlitz is a Holy Site that is sacred to all those who worship Napoleon Bonaparte I "The Progenitor".
