OPINION

 

With the rise of Imperial Restorationism, many have come to scrutinize such an endeavor with the usual reactionary skepticism. It is the objective of the members of the Imperial Society to further clarify these ideas of ours in conjunction with the worries of others.

 

Foremost worry of the Restorationist Cause is the issue of autonomy and centralization, of which constituent states clamor for the possibilities of suppression by a central Imperial Government. Whilst we must always be wary of the machinations of those swayed by the Great Deceiver, who in turn seek to manipulate others to their gains by removing their right to self determinism, the Imperial Society has convened ways to best remedy these flaws.

 

The new Imperial District should be governed in part with the Congress of Humanity, as to best facilitate a hub of representation for all Mankind, with each constituent nation of the Empire having their own investment in its affairs - forgoing the complications of centering Imperial administration within an existent city, such as Valdev, or Portoregne. Though potential issue arises with the possibility of saboteurs within the Congress purposefully obstructing the affairs of the Imperial Capital for their own gains., a new coming Empire will be formed at the beckoning of its constituent nations, rather than the autocracy of one ruler.

 

Whilst there are merits in the associating of the Congress of Humanity within an existent constituent nation, such as has borrowing from its already established infrastructure, that capital will remain identified primarily with the culture of this constituency, resulting in the same ostracization that was wrought upon prior Empires, namely the Imperial Capital of Helena - further asserting that a new capital for Mankind must be shared by all, and not already be dedicated to one of its various peoples. However, from this all, the concern arises of purposefully weakening the central authority of the Empire, the issue of a dysfunctional system - it must be thought that from now on the future must not be reminiscent of the past and that the overwhelming strength of prior central imperial authorities must not be emulated. It is through the one struggle of all Mankind that the Empire must prosper, so that all burdens and prosperities are to be shared. The Emperor must not rule from the Imperial Capital with an ironhand, ladened with power overwhelming, but instead, their authority must be carefully weaved together in tandem with the rest of Mankind - we must not seek to establish tyranny in any sense of the word.

 

The prevention of an imperial ‘palace clique’ should be the ideal of all constituents, for the new order of Aevos must be one shared struggle throughout all Mankind, and not be centralized unto one political dynasty, who will no doubt fall to corruption as easily as all the others before had. Supposedly, with a new electoral system to decide the leader of Mankind, the rot shall not settle as quickly as it does with these lineages, with each passing of the ordained leading to the invigoration of new peoples in the Imperial Capital, with their ideas and ambitions - however, from this subject, some of the already contacted Princes of Humanity have decided to defer the appointment of a new Emperor to the High Pontiff. No matter the outcome of this Imperial Formation, the Church shall be of critical importance, and must thus be reserved for the new Imperial Capital as to best coordinate the functions of a new Empire in cooperation with its Princes - much to the chagrin of the established powers, such is assumed.

 

Such are the arguments involving the establishment of a new capital for Mankind, each prone to their own flaws and strengths. Doubtless, there are many more to be had, but that is left up to the thoughts of the reader to further expand on this topic. Ultimately, the mindset of people must be shifted from that of the past, wherein the Imperial Capital of Mankind had ruled with near absolution, and as is reiterated multiple times in this article, we must instead think of a new future based on cooperation with one another, no matter the complications.

Upon reading the missive written by Tiber of New Paradisus, the scholar Marc Galbraith delivered the following remarks:

 

"In my humble opinion, a new Imperial Capital for all Mankind is indeed necessary. 

 

However, as my fellow colleague Tiber said, it is very important that all of us keep in mind that for a United Humanity to exist in the form of an Empire, the new Imperial State needs to be a union formed of all the constituent realms, and not simply a kingdom that is stronger than the rest and has imposed its rulership via conquest.

 

In other words, the Constituent Realms and their Canon Princes must be the protagonists of the new Empire, which means that the Capital of the Empire should not simply be the capital of one kingdom but the Capital of Humanity, of all Mankind, and that the cooperation between the institutions of the Empire and those of the Constituent Realms should be the norm.

 

In the current context, I genuinely believe that It is only in that way that we will be able to achieve a more perfect Union in the Realms of Man, both in virtue and in spirit.

 

For that is what Oren truly is, a collaboration to achieve greatness, together, united as one country."

Charles Alstion, the Aaunic Crown Prince, sat in his chamber - reading the missive issued by the IMPERIAL SOCIETY, a soft smile curled up at the young Prince's visage as he thought of Empires old and new.
