OOC-This is still under construction, but if you have any questions ask/


History:

The first Waldenburg state was formed in 1653 (Rp) by Viscount Horrance Waldenburg, on the island of Cyprus. It was then merely a colony of a nation called Depika. Depika was once part of Bulgaria, but after power squabbles between Warlords, Depika Was finally formed. Depika unjustifiably attacked Waldenburg on trade issues.
On the 25th of May 1650 the first transports arrived. After a bloody 3 year war were the first Depika expodionary forced was wiped out, Admiral Kellon Strafe lead 8 frigates to defeat over 50 ships and the reinforcements of Depika, this severed contacts and taxes from Depika. On July the 8th the first constitution of Waldenburg was written it stated:

1. That all citizens of Waldenburg are to uphold the Borders and Sovereignty of Waldenburg or any of its colonies.

2. Any leader chosen by the senate or current ruling body shall be supported by citizens, military personnel, and the senate.

3. The clergy on the whole shall be considered equal to any governing official.

4. All citizens are free to travel, trade, marry and pray to any god of their choosing, provided they are in accordance with any laws, and have payed their taxes.

5. All citizens are required to pay, minimum, a 25% tax on any items. Any citizen who cannot afford this tax shall be put to hard labor until such time as the taxes can be payed. If still by the end of 2 years and this back-tax is not payed all possessions of this person shall become property of the government.

6. In time of crisis, when no leader can be chosen, the clergy shall immediately take control of the state.

7. In a situation of war all enemies of Waldenburg, must either be executed, of be put into forced labor.

There was more but Admiral Strafe Spilled a cup of coffee on it, when reportedly laughing at the mysterious 13 law.

The constitution was upheld till 1740. Land had since been divided into 4 main duchies, which still remain effective today: Mintasburg, Ibblesguard, Sador, Corrhoart. On the recently built Marble Citadel in Sador, ruled the clergy which now collected the ancient 25% tax. The duke of Ibblesguard came to the citadel asking for money to fund a war with Depika, to destroy it once and for all. He was thrown of the 88 floor of the citadel, to the ship waiting for him in the harbor. The body was carried back to Ibblesguard, to Grand Duchess Saraphine Von Ibblesguard. No one knows what she said to the other duchies to convince them to go to war with the clergy, but as she walked out of the Duke of Corrhoart’s room with a cricket bat so began the Prophet Wars.

The clergy had enough money to fiancé quite a large army, but they decided to stick with god’s power. Recently, in an attempt to bring up the miracle ratio, priests had begun experimenting with, electricity magnets, and liquid tar. The 500,000 Man army assembled on Sador and was wiped out by flaming sulpher balls that apparently came from nowhere. After this battle Archbishop Harry Strudel became the first Serobiarch of the now Holy Empire of Waldenburg. A Serobiarch at this time was the earthly manifestation of God, and had complete power in Waldenburg.

The country was ruled by a long line of Serobiarches for nearly 300 years until Edward Von Waldenburg finally got ahead of the clergy, and destroyed the now 860 story Marble citadel, with a MAC round from the first Starship.

Edward recreated the senate, which ruled for 27 years. After his death his son Wyatt Von Ibblesguard I took over as Chancellor as the senate and Duke of Ibblesguard. 1\4 of the senators were now on his side, he bribed a few more until he had a majority vote in the senate. On again the 25th of May Wyatt won rule with the Glorious Revolution Of a Little Bit Past 6:00 AM. No one was harmed in the revolution, and afterwards the senate was abolished and Wyatt Von Waldenburg I was declared His Most Gracious Imperial Majesty. Then as his first order of business he ordered a fleet to a nearly uninhabited system, which he proceeded to colonize. Now over half the population lives in the Waldenburg named Colonia Quad Punga. At the death of Wyatt Von Waldenburg I, he ordered a colonization party to be sent further into un-charted space. After the 23-pound crown had been dropped onto Wyatt Von Waldenburg II’s head news came back that they had found a suitable planet, and had named it Ibblesguard in honor of the ruling family.

Next came the only foreign war for over 400 years the war of Milk and Honey 1million troops had been mobilized to attack the nation of Chuckacon, whose arrogance lead to their destruction, to declare a robot pope of all the Christians. The war was a slaughter; Chuckacon was destroyed in 2 weeks of arrival of the first marine. As the state Car pulled through the throng in Chuckacon for the surrender terms, Wyatt Von Waldenburg II was shot by an angry citizen. 2.3 Million citizens were put to death for the attack. Next of course came Wyatt Von Waldenburg III who immediately reinstated the senate, but his time all senators were also members of the clergy, yet again creating The Holy Empire of Waldenburg 2.

Wyatt Von Waldenburg ruled for nearly 70 years until being deposed by the Divine Legion after the second Waldenburg Colonial war. While the troops fought the Divine Legion siezed the army and navy it the middle of the war, made peace with the enemy then marched home and took the country in a nearly bloodless attack. The senate, somehow had become average citizens in this time and were put to death by the clone legions. Now the country is ruled by The Four Phrophets who walked a 400 mile dessert without water, lived and came back much stronger, bent to take the country. Most of the citizens followed as they became much richer through the flow of plunder. The Divine Legion now controls the country in a iron grip while insisting that all those who do not follow the path of the Phrophets most be purified. The Legion is now trying to purify the galaxy with a newly built clone army.

Military:

The Divine Legion:
These are the last remnants of the first holy empire. They are those who had nowhere to go, so they turned to the clergy, in return the priests got prophets. Each recruit was altered in terrible ways, such as instead of a second kidney, they received a tank to hold napalm, and the rest of their systems advanced to create a living flamethrower. Each of the now 15,000-man institution spends his or her life training and breeding for war. Often those improved with magnetic and telepathic abilities serve as navigators aboard starship across the Galaxy. (Telepaths are not actually telepathic they just are so highly trained they go through each scenario and pick the most likely one. They are right 96% of the time.)

After Revolution:
Numbers skyrocketed as people were taken off the streets to join. Estimates around 15,000.

Senatorial Guard:
The senator’s personal guard are recruited from the minor nobility of each of the duchies, to serve their respective leader. Each Senator (There are usually 177 Senators) is allowed up to 50 guards. Another name for the guards is the Gara Guards, every one of them after being selected is brainwashed for loyalty, and taught the various ways to kill. Each recruit after brainwashing spends 14 years in training and is taught in every conceivable weapon.

After Revolution:
Disbanded

Police Force:

There is no recognizable police force in The Waldenburg Empire, except in Border Guards. Border Guards keeps a Yeomanry for state occasions; they double as riot police men. The Yeomanry’s only appearance in public for the last 20 years was the coronation of Wyatt Von Waldenburg III. Mostly Waldenburg is under martial law so a police force is unnecessary. Best Estimates put their numbers at
Around 700.

Royal Marine Core:

A university for the training of officers covers nearly 1 Sq. Mile. Along with training grounds, the college can train up to 105,000 men at a time, in all the arts of war. The royal Marines are given 8 months of basic training before being sent off to battle. The colleges varied practice ranges include some of the newest technology, and the most difficult training known to any Waldenburg solider. There have been 867 accidental deaths since it’s opening 8 years ago, due mostly to plasma grenade malfunctions. Marines mostly serve on space vessels, and stations.

Notes: Support Troops are armed with the Basic MX12 Battle Rifle; they are the run of the mill troops without special tasks and duties. Most soldiers were very little body armor, reasoning being what good would a layer of plastic be against a bullet, and a Kevlar vest against a laser. Light Infantry are mostly scouts, snipers, and mobile infantry. They, in most battle are air lifted in by pelican, attack, and then fly back to base for additional orders.

After Revolution:
The Marine core stayed the same with most either deffecting immediately or replenished quickly be the Divine Legion.
