The next Featured Nation is Arcadian Empire - Congratulations on being featured!
It's clear from your factbook that you are an avid RP'er so my first question is an obvious one: What drew you to RP'ing? What do you enjoy the most about it?
1. When I was in the sixth grade I met this kid who loved dragons and had amazing drawing abilities, so I went up to him and I saw that he didn't have that many friends so I said "hey what are you doing?" And he said "drawing", then we had a conversation about his country and how I thought it was cool. The thing I love most about RP'ing is just the most random (excuse my French) crap you can do with it, one minute you can be in space then you can be underwater.
What made you decide to move to 10000 Islands?
2. I thought about moving to 10KI because I just started the game (this is my first account and was just starting and didn't know a lot about the game) and it seemed like a cool place.
With an empire spanning 600 planets there must be many bureaucratic challenges. How has your central government managed to maintain control over such a large expanse?
3. The secret is a parliamentary monarchy, also our Titanium that is mined from the planets, we search for habitable planets and then slightly terraform them to make huge pockets of Titanium and tungsten (which are used in everything), and everyone has a thing called Honor which can be obtained by serving in the military or doing noble deeds. Also everyone has to take a military test while in school (PT, shooting training, etc). If they get above a 75% overall then they are conscripted into the military for 4 years, once their service is over they are rewarded huge bouts of Honor points. You can use Honor to get several things like a family crest, sword, etc. Honor can also be used help fund the government. How they can be used to fund the government is by saying hey I give my undying loyalty to the Emperor, the more you give the more you are investing.
Back to the 600 planet thing 597 of those planets are outposts for military use of mining posts, only 3 have turned into colonies
Does your empire have a standard time system?
4. Yes we follow the Earth's rotation 60 secs in a min/60 mins in an hour/24 hrs a day/7 days in week/ 365 days in a year.
Also if you're wondering about our Troops - I was inspired by 3 different games: BattleNations, Halo and Aliens Colonial Marines. Why, you might ask. First off, with BattleNations - I always loved WWI and WWII with the trench coats and gas masks and the all American mojo, and how big their imagination for some of these things were, Halo because of the ships and the intergalactic war between Humans and Aliens, then Colonial marines for their pulse rifles and the aliens but mostly the pulse rifles
