Størmstædt Empire

Overview
Impæriøm ov du Størmstædt is an Empire in the continent of Cerulea. It is known for it's strict rules and traditions which are dated before establishing Størmstædt itself. Populace is mostly ethnic Human, due to previous civil wars which ocured throughout the history.

The Empire of Størmstædt is also known for a high quality military equipment and weaponry, also nicknamed as the "pioneers in military industry". The Empire also began to experiment with magic-fueled weaponry (mægikwäffen) and vehicles (mægikkräftwægen)

The Empire has lost most of it's magic-wielders (mægischertræger) or magic-born (mægischergæbøren) during the civil wars as there were hunts for such invididuals and other races. In today's Empire there's a Monarch fund to help raise and treat the magic-born and magic-wielders as well as other non-ethnic Human races.

Origins
The origins of Størmstædt date back to 924, when various smaller kingdoms were fighting each other to become the ruler of all. Eventually the kingdoms started negotiating peace as the wars led to nowhere but poverty and death. The ruling clans from each kingdom met in a central point, in a nowadays destroyed town but rebuilt as a monument to pay homage to the roots of the Empire, called Burksteinkladt. One clan in particular was behind most of the operations and negotiating - the clan of Størmburgs, which was essential in the future developing of the later created Empire. Two years later in 926, a predecessor to Empire of Størmstædt, Great Kingdom of Allied Stædts has been created, with every 4 years a new ruler would have been appointed by the Regierung. This came out as a failure, as different rulers had different visions and dreams about the kingdom and that is why there are many recorded civil wars and manhunts for special individuals and non-ethnic Human races. Until the creation of Empire of Størmstædt, there has been recorded about 97 civil wars in the span of 800 years. The documents about manhunts for special individuals and other races have been burnt by Empire of Størmstædt in order to forget such horrible actions by their predecessors and to not let history repeat again. Most of those manhunts and civil wars have been issued by other clan rulers but a small amount of those also came from the clan of Størmburgs. But a very large portion of the Størmburg clan wanted to preserve peace and prosperity and that is the reason, why in 1726 an Empire was created with bearing the name of this dynasty and also as the only ruling royal dynasty for the future to come.

Nowadays
The current state of Empire of Størmstædt is very stable, with the longest peace ever in the grand history of this nation.There is only a small percentage of poverty and people live long and quality life. The most prominent change from it's dark past is the Monarch fund to help magic-born, magic-wielders and other races. The fund is there to protect such individuals, treat them fairly and take care of them in case there has been some endangerment or anything in such sense.

The economy of Størmstædt is greatly stable and is blooming even more thanks to new researchs in the field of magic-fuel, which would fuel weaponry,vehicles, factories, facilities and every person's house, hoping to limit the use of non-renewable energy sources in the Empire and hopefully in the whole world. The primary export to other nations is mainly military weaponry and equipment, which is said to be of the best and high grade quality.

The school system in Empire of Størmstædt is known for it's prestige Universities with a broad pallet of fields to study. The Universities are Monarch funded so the applicants do not have to worry about selling their soul. They are open to pick their field and study it deeply as much as they wish so they could eventually help out the Empire in future understandings of some unexplained factors and theories. The kindergartens and primary schools are well established as well, with a strong sense to unity and teamwork but also developing a strong individual throughout the applicants young years.
