They act as the world power of the planet Zodia formally called Divonis as their time wasn't going to be stuck in the past. The Zodiac Empire is a benevolent world power that allows the worship of all 12 zodiac gods in various areas abiding by the veneration rules the 12 made up to preserve each other. However worship of the Fell Dragon or his mother is prohibited, punishable by imprisonment or even execution due to salem's influence.

Culture
The Zodiac Empire has made a culture where the twelve zodiac gods are absolute and while other gods are a threat to the prosperity of the cosmos. Worshiping the twelve are accepted but worship of other gods is strictly prohibited and not worshipping any god at all will result in that group simply being ignored until they can listen to reason.
Public Agenda
The agenda of the Zodiac Empire was to spread the influence of the twelve zodiac gods further across the cosmos.
Assets
The most important asset to the Zodians was their gods and the divine magic they were bestowed. The existence of their gods keeps their civilizations alive and their means of changing the world alive.
History
The Zodiac Empire was founded February 10th, 00,500 after the end of the Zodiac Civil War forging a bond after their conflict to work together seeing as how they are a part of a greater whole. While the clergies were working together some still had conflicts and grudges with each other but none would go against the will of the Sun Church the ultimate authority in matters brought to its attention. They worked to grow over thousands of years as their leaders were made immortal by the gods eventually the Zodiac Empire grew exponentially in power and influence aiming their sights on the heretics that live on their planet. Cultists of Silica, Salem, and other demon worshippers were slain and driven into hiding for their veneration of evil deities. Over ten thousand years was spent purging zodia of the worshippers of these evil entities and eventually they would face the greatest threat during the Black Garden War putting an end to the cults of Mephiles and Salem permanently through imprisonment.
Demography and Population
The population of Zodia is around 12,500,000,000 which is all spread out around the nations of Zodia. Humans, Teiflings, Elves, and Orcs are found almost everywhere on Zodia, Haloin typically live in Leonis, Lunala, and Asphodel, ect.
Territories
The Zodiac Empire has command over all of Zodia as the clergies that make it up command all of the continents.
Religion
The Zodiac Empire only accepts the twelve zodiac gods as worthy of being worshiped and others as threats to it; the evil gods, the demon lords, arch devils all should be purged.
United We Stand
"We are above the times of the dark ages and we will act as such." - Themis
"United we stand against the darkness that once subjugated us." - Helios
"Rather than exist separately after the Zodiac War and Leo returned to his senses the Empire was founded. It's weird we call it an empire when it's more like a coalition although the Sun Church has ultimate say in international matters that are too great for the nations to figure out. You don't want to be on the bad side of the new laws as we got rid of many dark ages terms but one we like to keep is "fed to the lions''." - Hades
