Beneventum
Structure
The benefactor appoints governors as vassal rulers of the regions beyond Casilinum. Governors appoint justicars and senators to oversee the lawmaking of their regions.
Culture
Despite the disparate societies under the banner of Beneventum, the Calpurn dynasty has made great efforts to unify the empire's cultural voice. It has developed a national curriculum, though it is up to individual governors how that curriculum is disseminated. The Beneventum calendar is littered with holidays, observances, and rituals that require citizens to disrupt their daily routine at least a little.
Beneventum is a nation of faith and defense. Those values are present in all it does.
Public Agenda
Beneventum is unapologetically expansionist. Assania's Triumph is the highest holiday in the empire, celebrating the day Odessus fell under Calpurn control. They seek to spread the influence of Helmism across the world.
Demography and Population
Beneventum spans a large swath of
. The native populations of these area were disparate and disconnected, but the empire has restructured them into large bastions of civilization connected by constructed highways and patrolled roads. The areas immediately alongside the highways are moderately populated, while the smaller roads lead to small industrial and agricultural settlements.
Military
The Praetorian Guard are elite foot soldiers. They act as Beneventum's infantry during conquests and local police force during peacetime.
The Aetherion Cohort are a wyvern-riding aerial division of the Praetorians. While they are formally equal, they tend to occupy a higher social status.
Religion
Helmism is the official religion across the entire empire. While most other faiths and the worship of other deities aren't outright prohibited, they are discouraged. Helmetic history is taught in all Beneventite primary education and its high holidays are nationally observed.
Foreign Relations
Beneventum is in constant boarder negotiations with Tiantang.
Trade & Transport
Beneventum is known for their network of fully-patrolled, regularly-maintained highways. Overland trade across, into, and out of Beneventum is the most effective in the known world.
Ad Beneficium Omnium
The Benevetum is a clock face without hands, representing the timelessness of the empire.
