Culture
Neo-Imperialistic's culture is definitly backwards in comparision to most other nations. It is a feudal society, with it's business owners being the lords. The more profitable a noble's business, the higher status he has. The noble titles Neo-Imperialistic uses are taken from Medieval Europe.

Imperial Family
The current Emperor is Emperor Icebane the second. His second in command is General Bane, the commander of the Imperial Army.

Nobility
As a feudal society, Neo-Imperialistic has multiple levels of nobility. The level of a person's rank is determined by the profitablility and size of his /her business; or how much success they had in the military. The approximate levels of nobility are (lowest to highest): Knight, Lord, Baron, Earl, Duke, Grand Duke, Prince, Supreme Commander, Emperor. All nobles pay taxes to the noble above them, and supply soldiers.

The actual payment for a noble is actually very low, considering the low taxes in Neo-Imperialistic. The noble titles allow more freedom for a noble's business, which allows them to make more profit. While a noble position itself does not grant much money,it grants power and authority. The nobles have absolute dominance on the people beneath them.

Citizens
The Citizens of Neo-Imperialistic, often refered to as peasants and serfs, are always poor. No one except nobles get education, so the poor populace are trapped in poverty. The only ways for the citizens to get out of poverty is to gain a successful business, or to become a war hero.

The majority populace of Neo-Imperialistic work for next to nothing in dead end jobs. Working conditions are abysmal at best; many people die at work. The nobility of Neo-Imperialistic do not care about the conditions, therefore the conditions never improve.

The people of Neo-Imperialistic die of manythings. The common people of Neo-Imperialistic don't have enough money to pay for private healthcare. Disease is rampant among the people, easily spreading through the slums of the country. Cancer is a major cause of death, as many mutagens, including radiation, are present in the country.

Army
The army is the most highly funded section of the government. They have some of the finest weapons and armour available. Neo-Imperialistics few scientists study the new armour, and have created an armour shield cross for all infantry.

Major Businesses
The Imperial Arms Industry is the largest industry of Neo-Imperialistic. It is owned by the Emperor himself, giving it even more power than other industries.
