All right, who started the 2nd Epic War? I'm in on this! Soon enough...
Dunno. It kinda... evolved after me using the Greeting, and METY using It on another thread... I'm not sure, really, but its funny.

The Imperial Tambien Duchy was established a long time ago by the Red Emperor. Eventually, it evolved to control a huge portion of land, along with its major rival, the Thanyou Empire. During colonization, the two powers were engaged in a sort of Cold War, never declaring but using privateers and terrorists to wage proxy war against each other. Eventually, the Cold War went hot, and resulted in the Epic War. Now, Esandtee is coming up on the second confrontation of the two powers, and this War will be far from a stalemate. Its All or Nothing.
The population of the Imperial Tambien Duchy is huge, almost 20 times that of the next largest minor power. It is slightly larger than that of the Thanyou Empire, by about 1 million. Most of its population is engaged in making money through trading and other various commercial activities, and only 15% of the population is enrolled actively in the military, though, and that is without counting the National Militia or Regional Reserve, which makes up about another 20% of the population. The military might of the Duchy can be matched by only one power: Thanyou.
Complete gender equality has been achieved in the Duchy, and women are quite prevalent in the government.
The government of the Imperial Tambien Duchy is actually quite democratic. The Duke-Emperor's powers are checked by those of the First Citizen, the official that is the head of state and guides the Imperial Senate in its decisions. The Imperial Court is the highest court in the Duchy, and is in charge of approving laws and reviewing cases of national importance.
Senators are elected by the Polities of the Duchy, and serve for a term determined by each polity. The polity has broad powers over adminsitration of itself, from the right to govern itself in any way it wishes, to allocating Imperial Funds allocated to them in the "Other" category, which is usually the largest. Polities must, however, obey Imperial Law and give their citizens all the Rights guaranteed in the Fundamental Declaration.

Imperial Government Bunker- Tambopolis
HIM D-E Horatio Tambun XVI: Welcome to the Bunker, ladies and gentlemen. I am sure that you have heard many rumors concerning the recent troop movements of the Thanyou Empire. Let me assure you, the situation on Epica has not devolved as far as war. Relations and talks are heated, however, and the Grand Daedwartian Union has made some rash moves. I therefore find it likely that negotiations have failed. If you will look at your packet, you will find SitRep reports for the various theaters.
