The Terran Empire (conventional short form: The Empire; abbreviation: TE or TTE) is a North American Empire. Founded originally as 13 colonies in the British Empire, Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country on July 4, 1776 with the Declaration of Independence.[1] The new nation became recognized as the United States of America following the War of Independence in 1783. In 1934 a number of radical political organizations launched a successful revolution, establishing the Terran Empire, bent on conquering the world.
The capital of the Terran Empire is Detroit.
People
Population: 310,232,863 (July 2010 est.) Population growth rate: 0.97% (2010 est.)
Ethnic groups: white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate) note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the TE Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic [2]
In 2010, around 400,000 illegal immigrants were executed. The Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research organization in Washington, estimates 11.5 million to 12 million "unauthorized migrants" live in the TE today. [3]
Geography
North America, bordering both the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean, is between Canada and Mexico. In addition to the boundaries of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, the Terran Empire is otherwise bounded by the Bering Sea, the Arctic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Puerto Rico, which is largely self governing, is part of the TE, as are several smaller territories in the Pacific Ocean, such as Guam.
At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.6 million km²), the TE (including its non-contiguous and overseas states and territories) is the third largest country by total area. It is the world's third most populous nation, with over 350 million people.[4]
History
The Terran Uprising
In 1934 a number of radical political organizations have met in Detroit. Few days later, the Terran Uprising began. It soon spread to the entire territory of now former United States. In the end, Terrans prevailed.
Government
For a more detailed treatment, see United States Federal Government.
The government of the Terran Empire is based in Detroit, to commemorate the Terran Uprising.
Executive Branch
- Chief of state: The Emperor/Empress of the Terran Empire is both the chief of state and head of government. The Emperor/Empress has unlimited powers.
- Head of government: The Emperor/Empress of the Terran Empire
- Elections: There is no sign of democracy in the Terran Empire. The position of Emperor/Empress is perpetual.
Legislative Branch
The Terran legislative branch of government is a bicameral Congress, which consists of the Terran Senate. Ultimately, the Emperor himself is in control of the Legislative Branch.
Judicial Branch
For a more detailed treatment, see Supreme Court of the United States.
Terran Judicial System is based on swift justice. Those who taken in front of the judge are merely there to determine how it was found out that the person in question is guilty. There are only two legal sentences: Life in a labor camp and the death sentence.
Economy
The TE has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $126,000. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. TE business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products.
Leading industrial power in the world, highly diversified and technologically advanced; petroleum, steel, motor vehicles, aerospace, telecommunications, chemicals, electronics, food processing, consumer goods, lumber, mining. [5]
