Stahlfaust

The Empire of Stahlfaust is a monarchy located on Gaushan, Prospit, and Moria and is led by Kaisers of the Van Orden royal family. Stahlfaust was originally founded in its former capital Wulfheim but its current capital is Arctanis, which is in northern Gaushan.

Government
The Greater Stahlfaust Empire is run by the Imperial Court, which is responsible for running all territories of the Empire. On the other hand, Stahlfaust proper is run by the council of nobles. While Stahlfaust has legislative systems, the Kaiser still holds most power in the government.

The Imperial Court
The Imperial Court consists of the Kaiser, the religious leader of "The Hole Under the Sun", the heir to the Stahlfaust throne, and leaders of large provinces throughout the Empire. The Imperial Court has no direct say in the policy of the Greater Stahlfaust Empire, but they are an advisor to the Kaiser in making large decisions.

The Hole Under the Sun
The Hole Under the Sun is the result of a merge between The Hole and AIK, the two most prevalent religions in Stahlfaust. On 7/11/22 Saint Bean and Kaiser Arctan van Orden III agreed to merge The Hole and AIK, which was a popular decision among the people of Stahlfaust as many citizens were followers of both religions. The religious unification led to greater national pride and more cultural unity.

Prospit
Stahlfaust imperial ambitions began on Prospit after the fall of Sakanto, one of the last nations left on Prospit. The power vacuum left by the absent nations of Prospit made it easier for Stahlfaust to install governments whom were loyal to the Stahlfaust Empire. The first settlement to declare loyalty to Stahlfaust was Kilimand which was founded on what was formerly know as New-Reno.

Foundation
The Krosston Imperium was founded on 6/18/22 by Pharaoh Savimbi van Orden I after the collapse of New-Reno, which was led by Savimbi's father. The Krosston Imperium was heavily funded by Stahlfaust investors, which provided more than $350,000 in cash and building materials. Investments from Stahlfaust proved to be successful as the Krosston Imperium turned into a stable and thriving government.
