## The Astilians

Astilians are a group of people within the Imperium of Astilia.

### Traits & Culture

The Astilians are oftentimes rather obnoxious with a superiority complex. Bolstered by their religion, they oftentimes can view other cultures as rather barbarous or outright inferior when their cultures don't align. When this happens, Astilians tend to look the other way in disgust most of the time, with only exceptions to when they feel a justification to crusade to remove such uncivilized evils. Their superiority complex oftentimes bleeds into their diplomacy, giving Astilians an infamy for bad diplomacy.

Additionally, the Astilians have rather high standards in living standards, as demonstrated by the first thing being built in the new world was a palace for the Governor instead of any serious infrastructure. Astilians refuse to live in what isn't considered "warm comfort". Their reliance on luxury has had a unique side effect of providing quite capable builders.

## New World Holdings

The Imperium of Astilia sees no distinction in their New World holdings and their home territory, which means that their New World claims have no identity other entirely Astilian in the Wiki. For this reason, all information regarding the Imperium of Astilia in the New World cannot be considered separate from Astilian History.

Additionally, the dominant religion in the New World holdings is Manifest Destiny.

### New Astilia

New Astilia is the first established city in the New World and was settled by religious colonizers from the Imperium of Astilia. It acts as the capital of Astilia in the New World, meaning that the empire technically has two capitals. However, New Astilia and its governor Arcane still heed to Emperor Asellio's mandates with upmost loyalty. It is common for the Imperium of Astilia to funnel resources to aid New Astilia's management of New World holdings and engage in warfare.

New Astilia acts as the capital of the New World and sister city to the Astilian Capital of Astilia.

### Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor is a harbor on the same island as New Astilia. It acts as the commercial hub of the Astilian Empire within the new world while New Astilia acts as the capital of both internal and foreign affairs.

## History After the New World's Discovery

After discovering the New World, the Imperium of Astilia was eager to establish a colony and founded New Astilia.

With Emperor Aselios's blessing, a colony of devoutly religious people known as the Settlers settled the New World.

### Manifest Destiny

In the Imperium of Astilia, a group of highly devout followers from a branch of Condemning Drink-Mix Man known as Settlers settled the New World. As a firmly expansionist set of people, Settlers were perfect to establish an aggressive Astilian influence in the New World. Arcane, an important prophet in Manifest Destiny, was selected as the Governor of this region to further protect loyalty to the Emperor.

Believing the New World to be rightfully theirs, Settlers within the Imperium of Astilia see it as their inevitable destiny to sweep over the whole continent.
