## History

After the Death of Gray Mann and General No-Fun, and Commander Boring's retirement, A Power Schism broke out on who would take over Gray Gravel's Remaining Empire. A General named O’Connor took over. Under him, Gray Gravel got new allies and had won many battles against Z-Tech, they had fully declared war on Z-Tech as the **Gray Industrial Empire** under his new name ‘Emperor Tyrannicus.

As such, the Emperor had free reign to govern the empire as he so desired, from replacing senators with Generals as regional governors, to limiting his Parliament altogether.

### Powers

The Industrial Emperor is the self-appointed sovereign ruler of the Industrial Empire. the emperor's orders are to be obeyed immediately. the emperor is elevated above all commoners, nobility and members of the Imperial family. Addresses to the emperor is always to be formal and self-deprecatory, even by the closest of family members. Replacing the office of Supreme Industrial Leader, which had been empowered with wartime powers by the Corporate Committee during the last years of the First garden war, the Emperor is the ultimate authority in political and military affairs of state. As a result, the Emperor had the power to unilaterally implement policies that affected the Empire as a whole—from directing the Imperial Military to subjugate entire planets, to ordering for their destruction. To that end the Emperor could delegate power to others, allowing him to rule the Empire through subordinates who served as an extension of his authority. The Emperor's power over the multiverse remained relatively unchallenged until the rise of Z-Tech, an organization that was committed to the restoration of democracy.

The Emperor also serves as the *de facto* leader of the Imperial Parliament. Apart from the authority to entirely dissolve it and transfer its administrative responsibilities to a cadre of regional governors the Emperor alone had the power to pass voted laws into action—which he rarely did. He could also propose bills and legislation like the Public Order Resentencing Directive and the Imperial Emergency Act, publicly support or object to laws other lords had proposed as well as make impromptu appearances to weigh in important matters. In these cases, all military officers present in the Parliamentary chamber had to stand in attention while all Lords and Deputies at the time recognized by the Vice Chair were to cede the board immediately. Despite the Emperor's comsiderable power, he still couldn't technically enforce any law a significant majority of the Parliament had objected to.

The Emperor combines legislative, executive, and judicial functions and Imperial decrees form the basis of the country's legislation. The Emperor makes appointments to and dismissals from the council, which is responsible for such executive and administrative matters as foreign and domestic policy, defense, finance, health, and education, administered through numerous separate agencies. There is also a 150-member Imperial Ruling Council, appointed by the Emperor, which can propose legislation to the Emperor but has no legislative powers itself, including no role in budget formation. The government budget itself is not fully disclosed to the public. "Fully 70%" ... is labeled 'Other sectors' (including defense, security, intelligence, direct investment of the Empire's revenues outside the country, and how much goes directly to the Imperial family).

## Style of office

*Majesty* is an honorific style used by Tyrannicus during his reign as Emperor. In direct reference to the Emperor, it took on the form "Your Majesty." Other honorific styles applied to the Emperor are "Your Highness," "Your Eminence," and "His Grace." In the context of nonofficial, everyday conversations, Tyrannicus is generally referred to as just "the Emperor," even between Imperial officers. At the beginning of his reign, Robot troopers referred to him as "Master" and "My Emperor." Norman rayder has addressed the Emperor as "Your Excellency," which was Tyrannicus's honorific style as Supreme Industrial Leader.
