The Empire of Partnsolis, more commonly known as Partnsolis, is a micronation located mainly in South America. It has a territory composed of several enclaves located mostly in South America, but also in Europe and North America, with an total area of 57.47 km², most of it being occupied by the Amazon jungle and by vast cattle ranchs. The main area that Partnsolis currently occupies was long inhabited by various indigenous tribes before the arrival of the first european colonizers in the 16th century, in the 17th century several slaver's expeditions originating from the coast of Brazil reached the territory of Partnsolis to slave the indigenous tribes and take then to São Paulo with a permanent colonization effort only taking place in the 18th century. Independence from Brazil was declared by Muryllo Luiz, head of the National Liberation Movement, in 27 December 2012, with him being elected President-for-life of the new Republic of Belo Monte. Monarchy was declared following a national referendum on 27 December 2017, with the name of the country being changed was well to distance itself from its colonial past. Since independence, Partnsolis has not been recognized by any foreign countries, inspite of this, has embarked on a campaign to aggressively expand their territory by any means necessary, including forced anexation, war and diplomacy.
Partnsolis is an absolute monarchy structured within a one-party state, with the only political party allowed to operate in the country being the Partnsolian Monarchist Front or 'FPM' in his portuguese acronym , currently headed by the Emperor Muryllo I, who presides over the party and leads the country since it's creation. The Empire divides itself between 27 provinces, 5 client-states and 4 colonies, with colonies and client-states being the lowest autonomous administrative divisions, but equal to the provinces, having their administrators appointed by the Emperor himself.
Partnsolis in a effort to gain more diplomatic relations with other countries in the world has been a member of the Intercontinental League of Micronations since 28 February 2024, and has tried to build diplomatic ties with other countries, currently having 3 embassies around the world and recent joint colaboration efforts, in particular with the Stravonskan Soviet Republic with whom it mantains a treaty of mutual friendship.
Etymology
The original name of Partnsolis was Belo Monte which in portuguese means Beautiful Hill, the name was conceived by the brazilian government in an arbitrary decision during the colonization period. The current name Partnsolis, was adopted officialy in 27 December 2017, when the country was declared a Monarchy, and according to the official state rhetoric "to distance the country from its opressive past and guide it to an enlightened future". The origin of the name its still debated, with the main theory arguing that the name would be an almagamation of both latim and the indigenous karipuna language, which would translate roughly to "Country of the Sun", "People of the Sun" or "Sun Empire", however none of this could be confirmed until this day.
History
European Colonization
The Spanish Ñuflo de Chávez was the first European explorer to reach the region of Partnsolis between 1541 and 1542, though he was merely passing through. Brazilian bandeirantes such as Raposo Tavares reached the area around 1650, aiming to exploit the minerals in the territory, especially gold, and enslave indigenous people. During the same period, Jesuit priests arrived in the region and founded the first village. As a result of the discovery of gold on the right bank of the Guaporé River, a tributary of the powerful Madeira River, the Portuguese Crown established the captaincy of Mato Grosso in 1748, encompassing lands that now form part of the Empire of Partnsolis. The aim was to occupy the region, especially the right bank of the Guaporé River, to secure its possession, which was threatened by the Spanish and indigenous people. Antônio Rolim de Moura Tavares was appointed governor of the Mato Grosso captaincy. Initially, the governor established the capital of the captaincy in Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade on March 19, 1752, located approximately 900 km from the Partnsolis territory, from which he commanded border demarcations according to the Treaty of Madrid signed in 1750, establishing the initial territory of Partnsolis as Portuguese Crown possession. Despite the definitive possession, due to Partnsolis' isolation within the Portuguese colonial scope and difficulty of access due to the impossibility of navigating the entire stretch of the Madeira River, the region remained abandoned except for the sporadic presence of Jesuits until their expulsion from the territory by the Marquis of Pombal in 1759 and a small outpost of the Royal Fort Prince of Beira built in the region in 1790, which was abandoned in 1800 due to communication difficulties.
Rubber Era
The decline in mining was one of the main factors leading to the region's abandonment for almost half a century, and even Brazil's independence in 1822 did not immediately renew efforts for permanent occupation. However, from 1850 onward, after the invention of the rubber vulcanization process, the territory of Partnsolis was again coveted for its location in the Amazon rainforest, which was the largest rubber producer in the world at the time. It was during this period that the "Rubber Barons" emerged—powerful and influential men with private armies who ventured into the forest, taking vast areas for themselves intended for rubber extraction, which they called “seringal,” using violence and terror to secure possession of their areas. Partnsolis found itself amidst two migratory processes during this period: one Brazilian, with rubber barons from the northeast who recruited destitute peasants afflicted by drought in northeastern Brazil, bringing them to the rubber plantations with promises of immense wealth, only for them to find themselves trapped in a system of debt slavery, forced to work for decades just to pay off their travel expenses; and one Hispanic, originating from Bolivia and Peru, where established rubber barons sought further expansion of their plantations into the disputed and border territories of the region, often capturing and enslaving indigenous people from the areas around their rubber plantations to have labor for rubber extraction. One of the most brutal examples of this was the Peruvian Amazon Company. One of the most famous rubber barons of the region, though he was active for a short time, was Carlos Fitzcarrald, a Peruvian son of an Irish-American sailor. Based in Iquitos, Fitzcarrald dreamed of reaching the vast rubber areas of Partnsolis through the Madre de Dios river basin. In 1893, during an expedition to find a river route to the Madre de Dios—which turned out to be nonexistent—Fitzcarrald discovered a relatively short land passage that could be traversed, reaching a tributary of the Madre de Dios. The following year, he returned and forced 600 men under the threat of death to dismantle his ship, the Contamana, and haul it across to the other river. The process took two months and succeeded, giving Fitzcarrald access to the rubber plantations of Madre de Dios and Partnsolis. However, this endeavor did not last long, as Fitzcarrald died in a shipwreck in 1897.
The Devil's Railroad
Since the 1840s, Bolivia had longed for a way to bypass the waterfalls of the Madeira River that prevented navigation through the river section passing through Partnsolis, thereby blocking Bolivia’s direct access by river to the Atlantic Ocean. Then, in 1851, the U.S. government—interested in the optimal route for importing its goods hired Lieutenant Lardner Gibbon to study the feasibility of an enterprise of this nature via the Amazon River. In 1852, Gibbon completed the Bolivia-Belém route, descending on the Bolivian side along the Guaporé, Mamoré, Madeira, and Amazon rivers, demonstrating that a journey from the United States to La Paz via the Amazonian rivers, with the addition of a railway circumventing the Madeira River waterfalls, would take 59 days, compared to the 180 days required via the Pacific Ocean, which, besides the distance, involved the arduous route around Cape Horn. During the 1870s, American George Earl Church, a member of the Royal Geographical Society of the United Kingdom, made two attempts to overcome the rapids of the Madeira River to access Bolivian rubber markets. This was the first major American infrastructure venture outside the United States, predating the Panama Canal. Both efforts were defeated by the challenging terrain and the heavy toll of lives lost due to malaria, accidents, and indigenous attacks. A successful attempt to build the railroad began with the signing of the Treaty of Petrópolis in 1903, by which Bolivia ceded the Acre territory (191,000 km²) to Brazil in exchange for some Brazilian territories, a monetary payment of 2 million pounds sterling, and a promise from Brazil to build a railway link to circumvent the Madeira River rapids. Construction began in 1907, led by American businessman Percival Farquhar, who brought workers from all over the world to complement his workforce, reaching a workforce of 30,000 to 40,000 workers, many of whom settled in the Partnsolis region, where their descendants still live today. On April 30, 1912, the final stage of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway was inaugurated. Due to the extreme working conditions, construction challenges, and high number of deaths, the Madeira-Mamoré Railway became known as the “Devil’s Railroad.” There are no precise figures on the number of lives lost during its construction. Fiorelo Picoli, in his book Capital and the Devastation of the Amazon, estimates the number at over 30,000. However, much of the "Devil's Railroad" legend is based on the far more deadly failed attempts of George Church and the Amazon rubber boom itself, which claimed tens of thousands of lives.
Early Conflicts and the Arrival of Large Landowners
During the railway's construction, the first confrontations occurred between the local rubber barons of Partnsolis and the Madeira-Mamoré Railway Company. Operating virtually isolated from the rest of the continent, these barons were accustomed to a level of independence unseen elsewhere in Brazil, acting as the region's de facto police, judges, and executioners. Vivid memories still lingered in the minds of these 20th-century feudal lords of the Republic of Acre, also proclaimed by rubber barons less than 150 km from Partnsolis, which effectively acted as an independent state for four years, successfully repelling Bolivian attempts to reclaim the territory. Unaware of the true situation, the Brazilian government granted the Madeira-Mamoré Railway Company a 15 km strip of land extending on either side of the railway tracks, which would take over vast areas of rubber plantations in Partnsolis. The railway’s militia began forcibly evicting rubber barons and confiscating stored rubber from their warehouses. Armed conflicts followed, leading to numerous legal disputes in Brazilian courts, which invariably sided with the railway's interests, further heightening the discontent of Partnsolis' population with the Brazilian government—a resentment that grew over the years.
Starting with the 1964 coup, Brazil’s new military government adopted a different policy regarding the Amazon region, promoting a massive expansion of the new agricultural frontier and encouraging migration from various parts of Brazil to the Amazon. Many of these settlers arrived in Partnsolis, significantly altering the local demographics through intermarriage with the local population. The military government also formally named this region, calling it Belo Monte. This process drastically transformed the economy of Belo Monte; with the decline of the Rubber Era and the arrival of vast farms and cattle herds, the once impoverished and isolated region began generating significant wealth—though this wealth did not stay in the hands of Belo Monte’s people.
Independence Process
For decades, resentment over Belo Monte’s lack of representation in the Brazilian government accumulated among the population. By the beginning of the 21st century, thoughts of representation gradually shifted toward the idea of independence as the best solution for the region's problems. However, lacking strong leadership, independence remained largely in the realm of ideas and within small intellectual circles in Belo Monte. In 2011, Muryllo Luiz, the son of Brazilian immigrants who had arrived in Belo Monte during the colonization processes promoted by the military government, founded the National Liberation Movement with the aim of declaring the territory's independence and freeing the population from Brazilian colonial rule.
With an aggressive rhetoric and a clear stance of opposition to Brazilian authorities, the National Liberation Movement quickly gathered many supporters, sparking waves of protests throughout the region, harshly suppressed by the Brazilian government. This wave of hostilities generated enough popular support for Muryllo Luiz to unilaterally declare the independence of the Republic of Belo Monte on 27 December, 2012, with a provisional government organized and headed by him and his cousin Marco Antônio. The next day, 28 December, the provisional government voted to appoint Muryllo Luiz as President of the new republic.
Sandro Valério, another cousin of Muryllo Luiz, opposed the region's independence, fearing the new republic could act against his commercial interests. He sought support from the Brazilian government, obtaining funding and backing to create a secessionist state that could destabilize the republic and facilitate the territory’s reintegration into Brazil. On 31 December 2012, Sandro declared the independence of the Kingdom of East Naegch, crowned himself King Sandro I, and quickly declared war on the Republic of Belo Monte, igniting the Belo Montean Civil War.
Belo Montean Civil War
Unprepared for an unexpected war, the Republic of Belo Monte initially found itself at a disadvantage, lacking a formal army and international support against East Naegch's army, financed and backed by Brazil. The newly established republic’s congress found itself in total disarray, with the various political factions unsure of the proper response to the East Naegchian invasion. However, Muryllo Luiz, acting with powers beyond those granted by the republic's improvised constitution, quickly raised a small force and placed it under the command of Vice President Marco Antônio, who was tasked with using guerrilla tactics to wear down East Naegch's troops and delay their advance toward the republic's capital, Cidade do Belo Monte (now Emperia). Muryllo then traveled throughout the republic, recruiting soldiers to defend the newly acquired independence, obtaining financial support from large landowners, and establishing contacts with arms traffickers from Bolivia.
With his army formed, known as the Belo Montean Legion, Muryllo met with the forces commanded by the vice president. The two armies converged at a strategic bridge crossing the Mororó River, where the Battle of Mororó Crossing ensued. The East Naegchian forces were decisively defeated and forced to retreat back to their secessionist territory. Now on the offensive, the Belo Montean Legion launched a brutal campaign against supporters of King Sandro I’s government and advocates for the republic's return to Brazil. On January 31, 2013, Belo Montean Legion troops, led by Muryllo Luiz, reached Naegchville, where they overcame a desperate defense hastily organized by King Sandro I, intended to allow him to escape the Belo Montean forces' siege and regroup for another offensive.
King Sandro I was captured while attempting to flee his capital and taken in chains to Cidade do Belo Monte. In an ecstatic victory, which seemed impossible just a month earlier, the Legion proclaimed Muryllo Luiz as King of East Naegch in a celebration that even saw drunken soldiers invade East Naegch’s parliament building, where they voted to annul East Naegch's declaration of independence. Returning to the capital, the congress of the republic elevated Muryllo Luiz to the position of President-for-Life, granting him autocratic powers over the nation and effectively nullifying the republic's constitution.
Consolidation and Expansion
Muryllo Luiz effectively became the dictator of the Republic, initiating purges against potential threats to the nation’s independence and his own power: sympathizers of King Sandro I’s government were sentenced to death, with Sandro himself exiled to Brazil; political leaders who opposed the autocratic powers acquired by the presidency were either executed or sentenced to forced labor. A new constitution was promulgated on 25 August 2013, definitively establishing the president’s dictatorial powers. On 1 January 2014, Muryllo Luiz founded the Nationalist Party, which served as his base of power in the congress until the republic's end. The party brought together various ideological groups supporting Muryllo Luiz's government, and his authoritarian measures were not viewed negatively by the population due to the massive popularity he gained during the civil war and a sustained government propaganda effort.
Paranoid about the possibility of a new civil war or a Brazilian invasion, Muryllo Luiz promoted a militaristic and jingoistic society, instituting mandatory military service of at least five years for all citizens over 14 years old. The Belo Montean Legion was renamed to the National Army of the Republic, with its commanders meticulously selected by the President. The new national army was used in territorial expansion conflicts against indigenous groups still in the region who opposed the new regime, with exceptional brutality shown during this expansion.
By choice of Muryllo Luiz himself, the Republic of Belo Monte entered a period of international isolation between 2013 and 2017. Entry and exit from the national territory were completely prohibited under the official narrative that this measure was necessary “to ensure the integrity of the national territory and the consolidation of the nation as a sovereign and self-sufficient state”. During this period, a process of nation-building took place: ministries were established, road networks crossing the forest were constructed with forced labor from political prisoners, and large jungle areas were cleared to make way for new cattle ranches. Although there were efforts to search for new mineral resources, these were largely unsuccessful.
The Empire
After five years as President-for-life, Muryllo Luiz, feeling his hold on power was secure, ended the republic’s international isolation. Determined to ensure that the country would not fall into hands other than his own, he organized a maneuver to solidify his power even further. Taking advantage of his title as King of East Naegch, granted by his troops during the civil war, he held a national referendum on 26 December 2017, asking: “Do you agree that Muryllo Luiz, President-for-life of the Republic and Father of the Nation, in order to ensure national security and prosperity, should dissolve the republic and be crowned Emperor?”
The referendum was heavily rigged, with militias from the Nationalist Party (now renamed the Partnsolian Monarchist Front) widely intimidating voters at polling stations to vote "yes". With 99% of votes in favor of the change, Muryllo Luiz officially abolished the Republic of Belo Monte, and on 27 December 2017, he proclaimed the creation of the Empire of Partnsolis, also changing the country’s name for what he has "free the people from the chains of a colonial past". On 5 January 2018, Muryllo Luiz was crowned “His Imperial and Royal Majesty Muryllo I, by the grace of God and the constitutions of the republic, Emperor of the Partnsolians and King of East Naegch.” The Imperial Constitution was granted on 4 June 2018, establishing Partnsolis as what the imperial government called a “Constitutional Absolutist Monarchy,” meaning a monarchy with absolute powers, possessing the functional apparatus of a constitutional monarchy but without its limitations. Muryllo I’s ideas and thoughts were eventually consolidated by the Partnsolian Monarchist Front into the ideology they called “National-Imperialism,” which gradually gained more power within the state apparatus, eventually establishing an official one-party state in 2022.
The Empire continued the expansionism of the republican period, this time using a mixed approach, with numerous new provinces being annexed peacefully through agreements between the Emperor and the leaders of the annexed regions, creating a sort of confederation, though without true autonomy.
Ever paranoid about potential internal threats, on 3 January 2020, the National Security Department, known as DSN, was established. Nicknamed the “KGB of the Empire,” it quickly became known throughout the empire for its exceptional ability to repress even the slightest signs of dissent, discontent, or opposition to Muryllo I’s regime.
On 12 July 2021, with Imperial Decree No. 25, the Cult of Mars was declared the official religion of the Empire, led by the newly created Church of Partnsolis. The Emperor and his family were proclaimed heirs of Mars on Earth, with His Majesty serving as Head of the Church of Partnsolis. According to the imperial government’s narrative, this measure was intended to establish Partnsolis as an authentic nation on the international stage, independent even of foreign religions. Protests from certain religious communities across the country were swiftly suppressed, with numerous religious representatives being exiled or executed, and church properties seized by the state. Two religions were exempted from this intense persecution: Mormonism and Judaism, which, according to the Emperor himself, “were too productive within our society to be lost”.
Following the rise of the Empire, Partnsolis has become increasingly open to the world, bringing in external aid to assist in the country's full modernization. For example, the Emperor privately initiated a massive industrialization program, as CEO of the country’s largest industrial conglomerate, Napalm Industries S.A., focused on the development and manufacture of chemical weapons, ammunition, and light arms. Diplomatic efforts have particularly targeted the Stravonskan Soviet Republic, with whom a mutual friendship agreement was signed on 4 May 2022. On 24 October 2024, a 99-year concession was granted over the Green Triangle Special Economic Zone to Stravonska in order to develop further parts of the empire.
In addition to focusing on economic modernization, the imperial government has been committed to modernizing its armed forces by importing equipment from countries like China, Russia, and Israel, and fostering close military cooperation with the Stranvonkan Soviet Republic.
Politics and government
Republican era
At independence, the Republic of Belo Monte was structured as a federal presidential republic, with its constitution being nearly a copy of the American constitution. However, after the civil war, Muryllo Luiz unofficially assumed dictatorial powers and was named president for life, with these powers becoming constitutional starting in 2013. Gradually, the expected level of autonomy for administrative divisions was abandoned in favor of maintaining territorial unity, and over the years, the military became increasingly prominent in the government, effectively transforming the republic into a military dictatorship.
Emperor, the Crown and the Imperial House of All Saints
The Empire of Partnsolis is ruled by Muryllo I, whose official title is: "His Most Excellent Imperial and Royal Majesty, Muryllo I, by the Grace of Mars and the Constitutions of the Empire, Emperor of the Partnsolians, King of East Naegch, Father of the Nation, Autocrat of the Subjugated Peoples, President of the Republic of Tankistan, Protector of the Republic of Nuvybranc, Sovereign of the Congo, Antarctica, and Saint Louissam, Prince of Nepomusemo, Head of the Church of Partnsolis, and Heir of Mars on Earth, Primus Inter Pares."
The Emperor holds supreme authority over all aspects of the government and administration of the Empire. He is the supreme commander of the Armed Forces and has the power to issue decrees that can only be annulled by himself or his successors, with Muryllo I's decrees being revocable solely by him. The Emperor's will prevails in cases of conflict between provincial and imperial interests, and he can immediately alter any constitutional provision.
The Emperor has the prerogative to appoint and remove the Consuls-General and other high-ranking officials. He presides over the Senate and the Council of State, and all legislative decrees are issued in his name, being enacted only with his approval, effectively rendering the legislature's role consultative. His Majesty possesses discretionary powers in matters of succession and may adopt heirs according to the rules established in the constitution.
Emperor Muryllo I also heads the Imperial House of All Saints. The Crown symbolizes the ultimate authority in the Empire, with the Emperor regarded as the "Supreme guide of the Nation" and "Strongman of the Empire" The nobility system is central to the political and social structure, with the nobility playing administrative, military, and ceremonial roles. Succession to the throne is governed by a semi-Salic system, where the line of succession prioritizes male heirs but allows for the ascension of women in the absence of direct male descendants. The Emperor has the right to appoint an heir, and adoption is permitted to ensure dynastic continuity, provided it is approved by imperial decree. Additionally, the line of succession may be modified by decree if the Emperor deems it necessary for the Empire's stability, reflecting the discretionary power of the Crown.
The Imperial House of All Saints is the reigning dynasty of Partnsolis, founded by Muryllo I after the proclamation of the Empire in 2017. The imperial family is central to the country's politics and culture, with its members frequently occupying prominent positions in military and government institutions. Members of the Imperial House are revered as almost sacred figures due to their association with the Cult of Mars, the official religion of the Empire.
The Crown is closely linked to the cult of personality surrounding the Emperor and the National-Imperialist ideology. Monuments, ceremonies, and symbols glorify the figure of Muryllo I and his family, reinforcing the image of supreme leadership and the near-divine role of the Imperial House in the history and destiny of Partnsolis. This association serves to consolidate central power and unify the population around a national identity.
Noble Titles
Partnsolis' system of titles reflects the hierarchy and the proximity of nobles to the Imperial House. The main titles include:
Lord or Duke: Reserved for individuals closely related to the imperial family or those performing essential functions for the Empire.
Marquis or Count: Title granted to regional leaders or governors of important provinces.
Viscount or Baron: Lower-ranking titles that generally represent local administrative positions or military roles.
The granting of titles is an exclusive prerogative of the Emperor, who can reward loyalty or service to the state, with these titles may be either hereditary or non-hereditary. The Partnsolian nobility plays a fundamental role in the administration and defense of the Empire. They govern provinces, lead military units, and are often assigned to key government positions. Additionally, the nobility is essential for ceremonial and protocol functions, participating in official events and representing the state in diplomatic missions.
The Partnsolian Crown, nobility, and the Imperial House of All Saints are fundamental pillars in the Empire's power structure, combining traditional aspects with a modern autocratic system. The hierarchical organization and the symbolic role of the imperial family reinforce the regime's stability and legitimacy, perpetuating the authority and National-Imperialist values that sustain the government of Partnsolis.
Consulate
The Imperial Consulate functions similarly to a prime minister in constitutional monarchies, albeit with much less autonomy, and is composed of three Consuls-General:
First Consul-General: Kevin Fernandes
Second Consul-General: João Victor Soares, Marquis of Nova Califórnia
Third Consul-General: Cleyton Fernando, Baron of Illyria
The Consuls-General are appointed by the Emperor and hold honors equivalent to those of the princes of the Empire. They serve as advisors to the Emperor and have various administrative and judicial responsibilities, such as presiding over the Senate in the Emperor's absence and overseeing annual reports from ministers.
The Consuls-General participate in important councils, including the Council of State and the Grand Council of the Order of the Immortals. They also perform functions in state ceremonies, such as officiating weddings and welcoming ambassadors. The First Consul, in particular, plays a prominent role, acting as chancellor on various occasions and presiding over the High Imperial Court in the Emperor's absence.
Council of State
The Council of State is a highly important advisory and administrative body, composed of members divided into six sections: Legislation, Interior, Finance, War, and Commerce. It serves as an advisor to the Emperor on legislative and administrative matters, deliberating on bills and public administration regulations.
Deliberations require the presence of at least one-third of the members in ordinary service, and councilors with five years of service may be granted a lifetime commission. The Council is consulted by the Emperor on various matters, from decrees to foreign policy issues, playing a significant role in the formulation and implementation of the imperial government's policies.
Imperial Parliament
The legislative power, called Imperial Parliament of Partnsolis, is composed of three main bodies: the Imperial Senate, the Tribunate and the Legislative Body, each with specific functions and operations.
Imperial Senate
The Senate is composed of Partnsolian princes, high dignitaries, and members appointed by the Emperor. The Emperor holds the perpetual presidency and has the power to convene the Senate and approve its deliberations. The Senate performs supervisory functions, such as reviewing bills proposed by the Legislative Body and forming commissions to investigate detentions or censorship.
A special commission on detainees monitors the detention of individuals for extended periods, with the power to request the release or trial of the detained. In addition, the Senate can act in cases where laws threaten the prerogatives of the Emperor or the unity of the Empire.
Tribunate
The Tribunate is a legislative institution in Partnsolis with functions defined by a thirty-year mandate, with half of its members being renewed every fifteen years. The first renewal is scheduled for the year 2039. The president of the Tribunate is chosen by the Emperor from a list of three candidates presented by the Tribunate itself, with a term of ten years.
The body is divided into three sections, each responsible for different areas: Legislation, Interior, and Finance. Each section elects two of its members to represent their opinions before the Legislative Body, with discussions on bills occurring only in sectional meetings, without debate in the general assembly. The sections also meet with their counterparts from the Council of State for joint deliberations, presided over by one of the Consuls-General.
Legislative Body
The Legislative Body is responsible for voting on bills presented by the Council of State and the three sections of the Tribunate. It meets in ordinary sessions and committees, with discussions open to the public or held in secrecy, as determined by the Emperor.
Ordinary sessions consist of legislators, speakers from the Council of State, and the Tribunate, while committee meetings are restricted to members of the Legislative Body. All decisions regarding legislative proposals must be made in ordinary sessions, following debates held in committees.
National representation
National representation in the Empire of Partnsolis is based on the monarchical structure and the state party, as outlined in the Imperial Constitution. It is organized around the "Partnsolian Monarchist Front and of the Councils of the National-Imperialist Union Offensive", which act as the only legally recognized political organization responsible for representing the interests of the people.
Party-State
The "Partnsolian Monarchist Front and of the Councils of the National-Imperialist Union Offensive" is the sole party in the Empire since 21 July 2021, making Partnsolis a one-party state, the FPM as it is know, is considered the organized political expression of the nation. The Emperor serves as the party's founder-president, consolidating control over political and governmental activities. All public officials, senators, and individuals involved with the state apparatus are required to be members of the party.
Organizational Structure
The Party-State's structure extends throughout the imperial territory, with provincial sections that meet in assemblies to discuss and vote on local and national issues. These sections are coordinated by the Political Bureau, which is composed of representatives from the provincial sections and serves as the central decision-making and coordination body.
Every six years, on 1 May, members of the State Party participate in elections to select members of the provincial assemblies. The voting process involves multiple rounds, with a second round taking place if no candidate achieves an absolute majority in the first round. In the event of a tie, the older candidate is given preference.
Replacement and Elections Process
In the event of a senator's abdication or death, the Political Bureau is responsible for choosing a replacement. The electoral processes are tightly controlled to ensure loyalty to the State Party and adherence to the monarchical and nationalist principles of the Empire.
Limitations and Exclusivity
The Constitution of Partnsolis prohibits the existence of other political parties, consolidating the FPM as the only legally permitted political entity. This exclusivity aims to maintain unity and the Emperor's control over all spheres of public life, preventing the formation of dissident or rival groups that could threaten the stability of the imperial regime.
Representative Function
Although centralized in the State Party, national representation is considered by the Constitution as a form of expressing the people's interests. The party structure aims to ensure that citizens, through their membership, can participate in decisions affecting the Empire, maintaining social order and loyalty to the crown.

Judicial System
The judicial system of the Empire of Partnsolis is structured to ensure the enforcement of laws according to the principles established by the Imperial Constitution. It encompasses various judicial instances and control mechanisms, from local courts to the High Imperial Court, with specific roles for magistrates, prosecutors, and other authorities. The system is centralized around the figure of the Emperor, who holds extensive powers of oversight and appointment.
Structure of the Courts
The judicial system is composed of courts of different levels, organized to adjudicate civil, criminal, and administrative matters. The courts are led by lifetime presidents, appointed directly by the Emperor, who may be selected from outside the existing cadre of magistrates. Each court has a president, while the vice-presidents are known as section presidents. Government commissioners serving in the higher courts hold the title of imperial attorney generals, while in the lower courts, they are referred to as imperial prosecutors.
High Imperial Court
The High Imperial Court is the highest judicial instance in the Empire and exercises jurisdiction over cases involving high-ranking figures such as grand dignitaries, ministers, senators, and state councilors, as well as crimes against state security and abuse of power. The court is presided over by the Emperor or the First Consul-General, depending on His Majesty's will, and is composed of princes, Consuls-General, high officials, the Minister of Justice, senators, and state councilors.
Proceedings are initiated from complaints made by the Legislative Body, the Tribunate, or by the initiative of the Public Ministry, which acts with the support of tribunes and magistrates. The High Court’s trials are conducted in public, as determined by the Emperor, and its decisions are final, with no appeal except by imperial will.
Public Ministry and Judicial Process
The Public Ministry, represented by the Attorney-General before the High Court, is responsible for prosecuting cases on behalf of the state. The Attorney-General is assisted by two tribunes and has the authority to initiate proceedings in cases involving crimes of responsibility, treason, abuse of power, or mismanagement. Investigations are conducted by security magistrates, who forward evidence and reports to the Attorney-General.
When a complaint is lodged, the High Imperial Court assesses whether to proceed with the case. If a charge is deemed warranted, the court issues warrants and moves forward with the trial. In the event of an acquittal, the court may impose surveillance measures or other restrictions on the accused.
Emperor's Role in the Judicial System
The Emperor plays a central role in the judicial system, with the prerogative to appoint court presidents, judges, and members of the High Imperial Court. Additionally, he may intervene in judicial proceedings, overturning sentences or decreeing penalties at his discretion. Trials conducted under the Emperor's supervision reinforce the centralization of power in the political and legal system of Partnsolis.
Law and order
Law enforcement in the Empire of Partnsolis is centralized and strictly controlled by the Emperor, with a security structure consisting of various agencies tasked with maintaining the regime's order, repress dissidents, and maintain stability.
Security Structure
The main security agency is the National Security Department (DSN), established by imperial decree in 2020. The DSN is responsible for coordenating internal security and intelligence answering directly to the Emperor. It is divided into three main areas:
Administration and Intelligence: Includes the DSN, the Directorate of Foreign Operations, Counter-Intelligence, and Armed Forces (DOECIFA), and the Intelligence Directorate. This sector conducts intelligence and counter-espionage operations and maintains a strong virtual presence to protect imperial interests.
Police Force and Order Maintenance: Comprising the Public Force (FP), which acts as a police force throughout the Empire, and the Death Squad (EM), responsible for high-risk operations.
Riot Control and Anti-Terrorism: Consisting of the Internal Stability Unit (UEI), which handles protests and demonstrations that may threaten the Empire's integrity, and the Mobile Anti-Terrorism Forces Squadron (EMFAT), which combats terrorist threats alongside the Defense Forces.
Role of the Partnsolian Defense Forces
The Partnsolian Defense Forces also play a key role in maintaining order, working with the DSN during national security emergencies. The Emperor, as supreme commander, can authorize their involvement in internal conflict scenarios.
Control and Oversight
The Empire's judicial system reinforces the Emperor's control over law enforcement, allowing direct intervention in judicial matters to ensure security agencies operate according to imperial directives and pretty much total disregard towards human rights.
This centralized structure aims to prevent dissent and protect the Empire's territorial unity, with a strict approach to dealing with internal and external threats.
Military
The Armed Forces of the Empire of Partnsolis, known as the Partnsolian Defense Forces (FDP on his portuguese acronym), are composed of three main branches: the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy, and the Imperial Air Force. All military divisions are subordinate to the Emperor, who serves as the perpetual Generalissimo, and to the Imperial Ministry of War, Interior and Innovation. Each branch plays specific roles in the defense of the Empire, with some units still under development or facing equipment limitations.
Organization and Roles
Imperial Army: Responsible for all ground operations of the defense forces. Currently composed of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, stationed in the Province of Belgrade, the 1st Chemical Warfare Division, stationed in the Province of New Catalonia, and the Colonial Division, stationed in the Protectorate of Saint Bratan. Included in the Imperial Army but outside the standard chain of command, under the direct orders of His Majesty, is the Imperial Guard Regiment, responsible for the Emperor's personal security, permanently stationed in the Imperial Province.
Imperial Navy: Charged with coastal defense and naval operations, the Navy has the Imperial Marine Corps, which currently has limited capabilities. Plans for future expansion aim to enhance operational capacity.
Imperial Air Force: Currently lacking operational aircraft, the Air Force plans acquisitions to create a functional air force, essential for defending the airspace.
Mandatory Service
All citizens of Partnsolis aged 14 or older are required to serve for at least four years, regardless of physical or mental conditions, with training in the use of weapons. The general military force is used for both external defense and maintaining internal order, as required by constituted authorities.
Equipment and Modernization
The FDP currently has a total of 20 active soldiers, 1 diesel-powered transport truck, 6 transport motorcycles, and various bicycles for jungle mobility. Using a mix of equipment from the Brazilian, Soviet, Chinese, Israeli and American armies, the soldiers can be seen with various gear, such as Brazilian tactical suspender systems, American camouflage, and a Soviet AKMS rifle.
Ministries
The government of the Empire of Partnsolis is composed of eight ministries, each with specific responsibilities. All ministers are appointed by the Emperor, with the exact composition of the ministries being determined by the reigning Emperor. These ministries are coordinated by a President of the Council of Ministers, ensuring coherence in the ministries' actions. The ministries are:
Imperial Ministry of War, Interior, and Innovation
Oversees the Defense Forces, internal security, and education. Focuses on the development of weapons and military technologies. Minister: Abner Hanniel, Duke of Belgrade.
Imperial Ministry of Justice
Led by Mario Carvalho, Duke of Mariotania, it acts on behalf of the Emperor, ensuring strict law enforcement and oversight of the judiciary. Recently, it has utilized artificial intelligence tools to expedite cases that used to take months to resolve.
Imperial Ministry of Finance, Infrastructure, and Colonial Affairs
Headed by Maxwell Rikelmy, Duke of Ausshwitz, it manages public finances, currency issuance, economic development programs, infrastructure planning and construction, and colonial administration.
Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Managed by Vinícius Bezerra, Duke of Dreadfort, it handles diplomacy and international relations, including embassies and alliances.
Imperial Ministry of Propaganda, Culture, and Public Enlightenment
Responsible for strict media control and censorship, supervised personally by the Emperor. It also promotes Partnsolian culture and manages mass public communication initiatives. Minister: Adrianno Dias, Lord of Belgrade.
Imperial Ministry of Health
Commanded by Makswell Santana, it oversees the healthcare system, disease control, vaccination campaigns, and development of biological weapons.
Imperial Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Industry
Led by José Eronides, Lord of Emperia, it focuses on strengthening economic self-sufficiency, developing strategic sectors, modernizing agricultural practices, increasing livestock production, and promoting industry geared toward military and infrastructure sectors.
Imperial Treasury
Headed by Matheus Soares, it is tasked with managing public finances, ensuring economic sustainability, collecting taxes, and allocating resources to priority sectors such as defense, internal security, and infrastructure. It also engages in initiatives to control inflation, manage public debt, and finance strategic projects aligned with the Crown and party-state objectives.
Foreign relations
The Empire of Partnsolis is not officially recognized by the international community, operating as a self-proclaimed state with limited diplomatic engagement. This lack of recognition means that Partnsolis conducts its foreign policy primarily through informal networks and participation in micronational organizations, such as the Intercontinental League of Micronations.
According to the National-Imperialist Manifesto, the imperial government embraces this non-recognition as part of its anti-colonial stance, rejecting what it views as foreign-imposed legitimacy. The manifesto argues that recognition should come from the will of its own people and not from external powers, asserting that true sovereignty is achieved through self-sufficiency and internal strength. The manifesto also promotes a policy of "revolution through progress," focusing on expanding the nation’s military, economic, and cultural influence despite the absence of international legitimacy.
The non-recognition has also shaped Partnsolis' internal policies, emphasizing a militaristic and self-reliant society. This approach is presented as a response to the perceived threat posed by foreign nations and a means to secure the Empire's sovereignty and territorial ambitions. The foreign relations of the Empire of Partnsolis are guided by the principles of National-Imperialism, aiming to expand the country's influence, strengthen security, and promote self-sufficiency. Foreign policy is centralized under the control of the Emperor, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs managing diplomatic activities and relations with other states and international organizations.
Partnsolis has been an active member of the Intercontinental League of Micronations (ILM) since 28 February 2024. The membership aims to strengthen the Empire's international position and establish alliances with other micronations. The Empire uses the League to advance its security interests and expand economic and military cooperation.
Through the ILM, Partnsolis promotes its agenda of self-sufficiency and defense, aligning with micronations that share similar objectives. Diplomacy within the League focuses on collaboration with member states on security issues and negotiating advantageous trade agreements.
Partnsolis maintains close relations with the Stravonskan Soviet Republic, with whom it signed a friendship and cooperation agreement on 4 May 2022. This relationship is crucial for the Empire, especially for the supply of military equipment and cooperation in development projects. Additionally, on 24 october 2024, Partnsolis granted Stravonska the Green Triangle special economic zone for a period of 99 years, facilitating foreign investment and infrastructure modernization. Despite the anti-communism of Partnsolis, the alliance with the Stravonskan Soviet Republic is pragmatic, based on mutual strategic interests. The relationship allows Partnsolis to access military technology and economic support, essential for strengthening the Defense Forces and modernizing infrastructure. On the other hand, Stravonska benefits from economic concessions, such as Green Triangle special economic zone. Emperor Muryllo I justifies the partnership by arguing that the benefits for the Empire's self-sufficiency outweigh ideological differences.
Since its transformation into an Empire, Partnsolis has pursued an expansionist policy, frequently annexing new provinces through brief armed conflicts, agreements, or negotiations with regional leaders. The Empire uses a mixed approach, combining peaceful annexations with the promotion of a kind of confederation without real autonomy for the annexed provinces.
Historically, Partnsolis experienced periods of isolation, especially between 2013 and 2017, when entry and exit from the territory were restricted to consolidate internal power. After this period, the Empire reopened its borders and began a policy of rearmament and modernization of the Defense Forces, acquiring arms from countries such as China, Russia, and Israel.
Economic diplomacy is focused on self-sufficiency and internal development. The government seeks to attract investment in strategic sectors such as the military industry and natural resources. The granting of special economic zones, such as the one made for Stravonska, is part of the strategy to bring modernization to the country without compromising sovereignty.
Embassies
The Empire of Partnsolis currently maintains embassies in:
Brazil: Represented by the Baron of Cochrane.
United States: Led by Lady of Mojave, facilitating strategic relations.
Mexico: Represented by the Viscount of Montezuma.
The embassy in Portugal is temporarily closed. In 2023, a new embassy was planned in the Stravonskan Soviet Republic, enhancing economic and military cooperation.
Administrative regions
The Empire of Partnsolis is divided into various administrative units, reflecting the regime's complexity and territorial reach, with the imperial territory being composed of several enclaves and exclaves scattered around the south american continent and also north america and europe. The divisions include provinces, client states, and colonies, all subdivided into departments, with each administrative unit having varying functions and degrees of autonomy. These administrative units adhere to the Empire's expansionist and self-sufficiency policy.
Provinces
Partnsolis has 27 provinces, with the Imperial Province being the most important and home to the government, where the city of Emperia serves as the capital. Provinces function as the main administrative units, with regent governors appointed by the Emperor to manage local affairs and implement imperial policies. Their roles vary, from agricultural hubs to mining or industrial centers, supporting the Empire's militaristic, self-sufficient economy. Notable provinces include:
Belgrade Province: One of the most militarized regions, housing significant Army units, including the 1st Motorized Infantry Division.
New Catalonia Province: Home to the 1st Chemical Warfare Division, focused on chemical warfare capabilities.
Cochrane Province: Known for its extensive cattle ranches and monoculture plantations, playing a vital role in the economy.
Each province is strategically managed to contribute to the Empire's military and economic objectives.
Client States
There are five client states that maintain a formal relationship with the Empire, holding some local autonomy while remaining subordinate to imperial authority. These states help consolidate Partnsolis' influence in border regions or areas of strategic interest:
Kingdom of East Naegch: A client state established after the Belo Monte Civil War, with the Emperor officially recognized as king.
Principality of Nepomusemo: Governed by local leaders loyal to the Emperor, retaining some traditions under strict oversight.
Republic of Tankistão and Republic of Nuvybranc: Former colonies turned client states, with political structures aligned with the imperial government.
Client states act as buffers or support points for the Empire's territorial and military expansion policy.
Colonies
Colonies are directly administered by the imperial government and serve specific functions such as natural resource exploitation or strategic use. The four main colonies include:
Independent State of the Congo: Focused on mineral and essential natural resource extraction for the economy.
Antarctic Protectorate: Used for research projects and demonstrating imperial presence in remote regions.
St. Bratan Protectorate: A colonial region involved in military training, biotechnology experiments, and naval trade.
Saint Louissam Protectorate: Part of the colonial territory, with a focus on mining projects and infrastructure development.

Geography and climate
The Empire of Partnsolis has a territory which is defined by three great geological forces: the expansive crystalline plateau, the towering high plain, and the ever-changing alluvial plain. The crystalline plateau, the oldest and most dominant, spreads across much of the territory, its undulating surface forged from ancient rocks. This plateau serves as the backbone of the land, an extension of the central plateau, pushing northwestward, marking the passage of eons in its solid, weathered form.
Above this rises the high plain, a striking feature shaped by sedimentary forces. Its flat, imposing landscape climbs to the highest elevations in the region, forming the great tablelands that stretch from southeast to northwest. As it reaches its pinnacle, it becomes known as the Peaks of Parecis and the Mountains of Pacaás Novos, towering features that define the horizon and inspire awe with their scale and history.
Meanwhile, the alluvial plain forms a narrow but crucial strip of fertile land, running along the river's edge. This low-lying region, susceptible to seasonal floods, brings life to the surrounding areas, creating a rich environment for flora and fauna to thrive. Though often submerged, it plays an essential role in the balance of the land’s ecosystems, constantly reshaping itself in response to the river’s mighty flow.
In the Empire of Partnsolis, the climate is dominated by a tropical humid atmosphere, where rain and heat shape the environment throughout the year. The rainy season brings abundant life, though the dry period is less distinct, creating a balance that sustains the land. Rainfall varies from 1,900mm in the southern regions to as much as 2,500mm in the northern areas, ensuring the soil is nourished by the skies. The warmth is ever-present, with temperatures remaining high year-round, averaging over 26°C, as if the sun has a constant watch over the land.
The rivers of Partnsolis all belong to the expansive Madeira River basin, a vital tributary of the Amazon. This river network plays a crucial role in the land's geography and ecology, connecting it to the lifeblood of the continent. The high plain, standing firm, divides the waters: to the east, rivers flow directly toward the Madeira, while to the west, others are guided by the Mamoré and Guaporé Rivers, shaping the western landscapes.
Covering nearly seventy percent of the territory, the Amazon rainforest spreads its vast canopy across the land. This lush, vibrant forest is more than just a natural wonder—it is the heart of the region, influencing the climate, supporting countless species, and preserving the ecological balance of Partnsolis. Its presence defines the landscape and breathes life into the earth, a powerful and enduring force that has stood through the ages.
The Empire of Partnsolis boasts a strikingly diverse geography that mirrors the grandeur and reach of its imperial ambitions. The coastal provinces evoke the rugged beauty of northeastern South America, with expansive beaches and dramatic coastlines symbolizing Partnsolis' historical strength. Further inland, territories reflect the lush, varied terrain of fertile landscapes support lush agriculture, rolling hills, and thriving forests. Here, vast tracts of farmland and resource-rich soils form the empire’s agricultural and industrial heartland, sustaining its self-sufficient economy.
Extending beyond these verdant lands, Partnsolis also claims enclave provinces across the Sonoran Desert, where harsh landscapes provide a natural defense and host military outposts, symbolizing resilience and control. This epic blend of coastal shores, fertile heartlands, and imposing deserts reflects Partnsolis’ reach across diverse biomes, underpinning its pursuit of autarky and territorial expansion.
Economy
The economy of Partnsolis is centrally planned and heavily regulated by the State, reflecting National-Imperialist policies and a focus on self-sufficiency. The government, through the Ministry of Finance, Infrastructure, and Colonial Affairs, manages strategic sectors, promoting an economic model aimed at ensuring independence from external influences and sustaining the Empire's military and industrial growth.
Economic Structure
The economy of Partnsolis comprises several key sectors, each playing an important role in the development and stability of the Empire:
Primary Sector: Agriculture and Livestock
Agriculture is focused on the production of staple foods and raw materials. Crops such as cassava, corn, and rice are widely cultivated to ensure food security. Livestock, particularly cattle farming, plays a fundamental role. Large farms are encouraged by the government, which invests in the modernization and expansion of operations to generate export surpluses. Agricultural policies are heavily subsidized to guarantee self-sufficiency.
Secondary Sector: Military and Defense Industry
The military industry is a central pillar of Partnsolis' economy. Companies like Napalm Industries S.A. are involved in the production of chemical weapons, ammunition, and armaments. The development and manufacture of military equipment aim to strengthen the Defense Forces and generate foreign exchange through exports. The government invests heavily in research and development of new military technologies, offering incentives to companies in the sector. This focus reflects the National-Imperialist ideology, which prioritizes defense and military capability.
Energy and Natural Resources Sector
Partnsolis' energy sector seeks to diversify energy sources, aiming to explore, although thus far unsuccessfully, natural resources such as oil and gas, in addition to promoting the future construction of nuclear and hydroelectric plants to harness the territory's vast river network. There is also a government effort to explore mineral deposits and expand the extraction of resources such as cassiterite, which are destined for the domestic market and, to a lesser extent, for export.
Currency and Financial System
The official currency is the Sollaris, issued by the Bank of Partnsolis and controlled by the Imperial Treasury. The Sollaris is available in $500 coins and banknotes of $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $200,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000. Monetary policy is rigorously controlled, focusing on avoiding inflation and stabilizing the economy. The government imposes restrictions on the banking system, limiting the operation of foreign banks and encouraging the development of state financial institutions.
Infrastructure
The development of infrastructure is a priority for the government, which invests in roads, railways, and port facilities to better connect the Empire's regions. Major public works projects are carried out with the labor of political prisoners and conscripts, as a way to minimize costs and promote regional development.
Foreign Trade
Although the government promotes a policy of self-sufficiency, foreign trade is encouraged in strategic sectors, such as the export of agricultural products and military equipment. Economic diplomacy with allies, particularly the Stravonskan Soviet Republic, has been an important component, resulting in special economic zone concessions for international partners.
Labor and Regulation
Labor laws in Partnsolis are strict, with strong state control over unions. Forced labor is a reality in infrastructure projects, and mandatory military service includes the possibility of civil work, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas. Imperial Decree No. 46, enacted in 2022, established the Partnsolian Labor Front as the only legal union, requiring all workers to join. Any other union activity is illegal, and the Labor Front operates under the structure of the Partnsolian Monarchist Front (F.P.M), with the Emperor as its president, being called "First Worker of the Empire".
Culture
The culture of the Empire of Partnsolis is characterized by a complex fusion of European, Indigenous, and Latin American influences, shaped by centuries of colonization, resource exploitation, and wars. The Empire has developed a unique identity, with cultural traditions deeply linked to the country's history and autocratic government.
Historical Influences
Partnsolis' cultural formation began with European colonization, when Spanish explorers and Brazilian bandeirantes arrived in the territory in the 17th century, followed by Jesuit missionaries. The region was part of the Mato Grosso captaincy under Portuguese rule but remained isolated due to access difficulties. The discovery of gold and the subsequent rubber exploitation attracted migrants and transformed the economy, creating a society marked by power relations between the "rubber barons" and enslaved workers. During the height of rubber exploitation, the "rubber barons" dominated the local economy and politics, often using violence to maintain their properties. The culture of this era reflects a hierarchical and brutal society, where forced labor and debt bondage were common. The construction of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway, known as the "Devil's Railroad" due to the extreme working conditions, also left a lasting impact on the cultural identity, with legends and memories of the thousands of workers who lost their lives and of the foreign workers who settled in Partnsolis.
The imperial culture values extreme nationalism and loyalty to the Emperor. The ideology of National-Imperialism seeks to unify the population around a Partnsolian identity, combining elements of militarism, territorial expansion, and economic self-sufficiency. Militarization is an important cultural trait. Mandatory military service for citizens starting at age 14 reflects the centrality of the armed forces in everyday life and the jingoism promoted by the government. Loyalty to the Emperor is central, with the personality cult of Muryllo I reinforced through ceremonies, propaganda, and the constant presence of the Emperor's image in public spaces.
Personality Cult
The personality cult in Partnsolis is a central feature of the imperial regime, centered around Emperor Muryllo I. The Emperor is exalted as the supreme leader and "Father of the Nation," with grand titles including "Heir of Mars on Earth" and "Perpetual Defender of the Partnsolian People." Since the proclamation of the Empire in 2017, the government has promoted an idealized and almost divine image of the Emperor, linking his leadership to the destiny and greatness of Partnsolis. The Ministry of Propaganda, Culture, and Public Enlightenment is responsible for rigorously controlling the media and ensuring that the Emperor's image is omnipresent in all aspects of public life. Monuments, portraits, and slogans exalting Muryllo I are common in public places, schools, and government institutions. The Emperor is often depicted in heroic poses and military uniforms, symbolizing his role as the supreme military leader and protector of the Empire.
The personality cult extends to the educational system, where the curriculum is designed to instill loyalty to the Emperor from an early age, presenting him as a model of virtue and leadership. The Cult of Mars, the Empire's official religion, contributes to the personality cult by proclaiming Muryllo I and his family as divine heirs of Mars on Earth. This religious association aims to confer an almost sacred legitimacy to the Emperor's authority. State propaganda emphasizes the Emperor's military achievements and accomplishments, associating the country's progress with his leadership. Strict censorship is applied to any content that might criticize the government or the figure of the Emperor. Media control is used to ensure that only favorable narratives are disseminated, promoting the image of Muryllo I as an infallible leader indispensable for the Empire's prosperity and security.
The personality cult contributes to the centralization of power and the maintenance of order in the Empire, reinforcing popular loyalty and suppressing dissent. The glorification of the Emperor serves to unify the population around a national identity based on National-Imperialism while marginalizing competing ideologies and opposition movements.
Religion and the Church of Partnsolis
Official religiosity is marked by the Cult of Mars, which became the official religion in 2021. Led by the Church of Partnsolis, the religion connects the Emperor to the deity Mars, proclaiming him and his family as heirs on Earth. This measure aims to establish a distinct and nationalist religious culture, differentiating Partnsolis from foreign religious influences. Minority religions, such as Mormonism and Judaism, are tolerated due to their contributions to society.
Propaganda, Censorship, and Cultural Control
The Ministry of Propaganda, Culture, and Public Enlightenment exercises strict control over media and cultural expression. The arts are used to glorify the regime and promote nationalist values. Publications that challenge the official narrative are censored, and the Ministry oversees what is considered culturally acceptable. Media in Partnsolis is strictly controlled by the imperial government, directly supervised by the Emperor. All content broadcast on television, radio, or in print must adhere to the guidelines established by the Ministry of Propaganda.
The Partnsolis Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) holds a monopoly on communications, operating all major radio and television networks. Media is used as a tool to promote the Emperor's personality cult and the values of National-Imperialism. Programming includes reports that exalt the regime's achievements, historical documentaries focusing on the Emperor's role in founding the Empire, and military events.
The official newspaper, O Império Hoje, is the main source of print news, publishing content that glorifies the government and suppresses criticism of the regime. The newspaper serves as the government's mouthpiece, with articles reinforcing the narratives established by the State. Independent publications are rare and severely restricted in distribution. The radio station Solis FM, part of the PBC, broadcasts programming that includes patriotic music, speeches by the Emperor, and shows focused on extolling the history and culture of the Empire. Programming is carefully monitored to ensure compliance with government guidelines. Any attempt to broadcast material that criticizes the government, the Emperor, or National-Imperialism is immediately repressed. Censorship is strict, and journalists who oppose official guidelines may face persecution, imprisonment, or exile. Repression extends to social media and digital platforms, where the National Security Department monitors and regulates content to prevent dissent.
In the digital age, control extends to the internet, with the government maintaining a virtual presence to promote official propaganda and combat criticism. The National Security Department works alongside the Ministry of Propaganda to monitor networks and eliminate any threat to the regime's stability.
Education and Popular Culture
The Ministry of War, Interior, and Innovation, also responsible for education, promotes a curriculum focused on imperial history, patriotism, and military training. Popular culture is heavily influenced by these guidelines, with festivals and public celebrations often centered on military victories or important dates in the Empire, such as the Emperor's coronation anniversary.
Despite strict control, Partnsolian culture retains elements adapted from its Indigenous and Latin American origins. Cuisine, music, and folklore draw influences from native populations and immigrants who have settled in the region over the centuries. However, these traditions are frequently reinterpreted to align with the regime's values.
