The Rogue Nation of Thunderstraat, barely twenty years after its emancipation from the hands of evil alien oppressors, has been shaken by a revolt.
Drifting in space near the realspace equivalent of the hyperspace planet of Ea, a huge nuclear explosion has rocked the aging space-colony conglomerate that makes up our nation.
Apparently, the lower class of Mundanstraat menial workers have cried out against the senseless racism of the dictators. Led by renegade Nustraat tacticians, they have blasted the main military base to peices.
Martial law has been declared, but it remains apparent that the traditions developed after the social stasis brought on by the aliens need to be drastically changed.

After two weeks of fighting, Thunderstraat is again still. Compromises have been made and a treaty has been signed.
The new government kicks out the benevolent dictator and replaces it with a hereditary king. An elected prime minister doublechecks everything the king does and controls half of the military. A mysterious Emporer controls everything but usually only uses his veto powers.
The military controls most public service facets of Thunderstraat life. Hospitals, police, and vacuum/fire control all are controlled by military-titled officials.
Thunderstraat finally has a halfway sensible form of government, and is fit to be recognized by the other civilized nations of the universe. Thus, we have shucked the title of "Rogue Nation" and changed to the more accurate "Empire."

*thank you for witnessing this*
