the thing is... if i get the idea right the author can do a empire building jojo adventures... he will do it? dont know.
it would be awesome.
how can he unite the continent? military force and after that education with Science and do a basic cultural genocide to introduce the empiral culture and educate the children in the schools like this.
sounds like the empire is a military dictatorship or can be like the federation from starship troopers (the book).
there is to little information about the empire... but they can do a tau from 40k.
the mission = the greater good, but they are not space commies so they need a enemy... the bugs to keep them united.
