The **Ocean Empire** is an empire featured in Season One of the *Empires SMP*. Located in the northern ocean from spawn, it was led by Queen Lizzie. It lay in between Mezalea, Pixandria, and the Cod Empire. Its main export was prismarine.

## Banner

The final design of the banner includes a white bunny in a black background. The finished product is the banner/symbol of the Ocean Queen herself, LDShadowLady, and "is the symbol of the Shadow Cadets," as Lizzie states in her first episode of the Minecraft One Life 2.0 SMP. She can also be seen wearing the design as her cape.

## Settlements

*For a broad list of settlements and buildings in Empires Season 1, see Locations/Season 1.*
The Ocean Empire has a single settlement built atop floating lilipads surrounding the Prisma Palace. Almost all of the structures located in the empire besides the Prisma Palace, including her allies' embassies, floated on gigantic lilypad islands.

### Architecture

Even though most of the structures of the Ocean Empire were built on giant, man-made lily pads, there are also underwater structures, like the Landarium Exhibit or the sunken shipwreck.

The block palettes of the builds usually: either large, pristine buildings out of quartz, prismarine and coral blocks, or smaller, wooden structures, out of oak wood, warped wood or wool. Around the empire, there are also a couple of ships, which are built using a combination of warped wood and different variations of prismarine, decorated with soul lanterns.

The flora in the Ocean Empire mainly consists of oak and spruce trees that grow at the edges of the lily pads, as well as a variety of pink and white flowers in some places. Many of the builds are also decorated using coral from a nearby coral reef.

The Ocean Empire has many different sorts of roads connecting it to its allies. This includes an underground tunnel between the empire and House Blossom, used for sending messages, a jungle cruise like a river that was made in order to simplify the kidnapping of the Lost Empire's Tiger Blood Prince, a waterway road leading all the way to Pixandria, another waterway road coming from the Cod Empire, and a collection of brightly coloured rubber rings placed to make a road steming from Mezalea.

## Economy

At the start of the series, the Ocean Empire's main export was prismarine that LDShadowLady obtained from a prismarine farm she made in the Nether. It can be bought in a market stand on one of the empire's lilypad islands. Lizzie trades this with multiple people, but eventually, people start to just use her farm themselves to get the prismarine they want instead of buying it.

After Lizzie obtains the Emperor's crown she makes the rule that everyone can only eat cakes, and advertise her cake-selling bakery in the process. This try at capitalism is successful and she gets expensive resources from several rulers. This business, however, was discontinued when Joey stole the crown.

With no export, LDShadowLady tries her luck with tourism, by creating her guided boat tours of the ancient sea, where she shows different locations around the seas of the server at the same time as constantly making cheesy puns about them. After this is successful, she further expands the industry by creating the Landarium, a reversed version of aquariums, where she shows off different land animals, such as a raptor, sheep, polar bear, a woodpecker of the undergrove, and a clone of Mythical Sausage's dog, Bubbles, in large glass bubbles underwater.

## The End

In episode 28, as the result of fWhip trying to recreate the Codfather head, The Ocean Empire had its ocean drained out. The effect of the Ocean Blessing wears off, turning Lizzie back into a human being. She looks around, confused, before leaving the server, thus ending her series.

## Trivia

* According to a poll made by Lizzie, answered by the members of the server, the Ocean Empire is tied with the Crystal Cliffs, Rivendell and the Undergrove to have the best outfits.
