Overview
The Holy Empire of Dentara controls the land of Ethiopia in Nova Europa, a region of land approximately 4,969,350 square kilometres in size. The nation was formed in 1892, during a bloody revolution by the civilian populace to overthrow the corrupt, beauracracy-choked democratic government of the times. Due to the relatively pacifistic nature of the democratic government, the revolution was short, with the populace overwhelmingly victorious. Within days, the populace near-unanimously called for an autocratic government, and thus, the Empire of Dentara was formed.
The first Emperor of Dentara, Idolmis 1st, immediately set about a plan that, while long-term, would eventually seal the new government into it's place in Dentara. His first actions were to create a far more militarised government structure, and the new direction of Dentara was shown in their motto; 'One Nation. One Leader. One Goal. Peace Through Power!' Idolmis 1st also carefully planned out a means to create a highly loyal, devoted populace, through careful, long-term manipulation of the educational system of the nation.
Decades later, the fruits of these efforts were in full display. The Empire had become the Holy Empire of Dentara, with the populace almost blindly devoted and loyal to their near-divine Emperor. The entire society had been militarised; all civilians spent some time in the Armed Forces, in some way, and the industrial setup of the nation was overseen by the military. One of the most controversial changes was the removal of personal finances; the people of Dentara no longer earn money, but rather, they work for the good of the whole nation, in a similar fashion to Communism. Thus, all financial means were primarily for use in dealings with other countries, granting Dentara sizeable financial clout.
The newest of the Emperors, Emperor Aramius 1st, took the Silver Throne at the age of nineteen. In months, he had finished the changes the long-dead Emperor Idolmis 1st had begun, and Dentara had become the envisioned 'paradise' that Idolmis had envisioned. The populace wanted for nothing; their government, having observed the fall of other socialist nations, had ensured that would not occur. The Imperial Armed Forces were a force to be reckoned with; highly trained conscripted forces, elite, dedicated career soldiers, and excellent leadership negated the usual problems caused by conscription. Furthermore, with conscription compulsory, excluding those who joined either the scientific or, in some cases, the medical professions, the Imperial Armed Forces has a massive standing army, and is able to field a highly-trained, capable force of soldiers at any time. Migrants are welcomed with open arms, those who wish to leave the nation can at any time, and, in general, the Dentaran people have never been happier.

Government
The Government of Dentara is led by the Holy Emperor. He is, at once, the Head of State and Head of Government, the Supreme Commander of the Dentaran Imperial Armed Forces, the Lord Admiral of the Dentaran Imperial Navy, and the Sky Marshal of the Dentaran Imperial Air Force. His word is, quite literally, law. Under him, are the Chief Commanders of the Imperial Militaries; three from the Imperial Armed Forces, three from the Imperial Navy, and three from the Imperial Air Force. These elements of the Imperial Government are always there, and cannot be changed. Also, in the event of the Emperor acting against the Greater Good of Dentara, the Chief Commanders of the Military can, if it is decided upon unanimously, call for the temporary removal of the Emperor from power, and a full-scale inquest is launched into the Emperor's actions.
The next step down is the Chiefs of the various Ministries of the Empire. Without a doubt, the largest of these are the Ministry for Defence, and the Ministry For The Public. The Ministry For The Public is the only form of democracy in Dentara, and allows the peoples of Dentara to voice their opinions to the government. These opinions can, of course, be ignored, but it allows a general level of understanding concerning the masses and their general mood.
Next come the Regional Ministries, which are responsible for caring for and providing for their Regions. They are aided by Local Ministries, which act as the first step of Government, and are in every population centre with a population of 10,000 people.

Economy Overview
The Dentaran Economy is in extremely good shape, thanks primarily to the high level of industrial development and the highly developed agricultural system. The Dentaran people are not paid for their work; rather, they work out of a sense of loyalty to the State. Furthermore, good workers can be provided with bonuses for enthusiastic & efficient work; these awards are highly sought after, and provide an extra drive to work to the best of your ability.
Dentara is all but void of corporations, with the Military overseeing most, if not all, aspects of the nation. Through effective, level-headed leadership, this has made the acquisition of goods & foodstuffs far easier, and the average Dentaran civilian lives quite comfortably. The Agricultural development of the nation is of a high level; the task of keeping the massive populace of Dentara ensures that agricultural developments are implemented quickly, to ensure demands are met and exceeded with a comfortable margin. As for industry, only a (relatively) small section of Dentara's industrial might works for the civilian populace; the rest works to military ends, with particular emphasis placed upon Uranium mining & Arms Manufacture.
Employment Breakdown (Non-Military): 50% Primary, 50% Secondary (Tertiary Sector covered by Military)
Education Overview
The Dentaran Education system is operated, as per the usual, by the Military. The system revolves around loyalty to the State, dedication to the people of Dentara, a strong sense of brotherhood, and faith in the Holy Emperor. The primary & secondary educational systems are focused on preparing the students for life as a Dentaran, and focus on preparation for their compulsory military term, as well as history, general knowledge, and a level of career-choice planning.
Particularly strange in this system is the 'Golden Rule': If you don't pass, you keep trying. This rule ensures that, when a Dentaran graduates, he is completely ready for whatever life throws at him. This rule has lead to the populace of Dentara being reasonably intelligent, highly capable and highly adaptable.
Adult Literacy Rate: 100% (Male) 100% (Female)
Technology
Dentara is a relatively high-tech nation, owing primarily to their highly capable scientific capability and their ability to purchase new technologies from other nations. Nearly all Dentarans have access to this technology, in the form of televisions, radios & other domestic goods. Particularly important to the Dentaran Government is the creation of new military technologies, and their experiments have bordered into the Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Genetic fields, in their quest to become a leading example of military capability.
Geography
Dentara is quite diverse in ecological zones. The unique geography of the land, including towering mountain ranges and deep valleys, has lead to the nation having relatively cool ecological zones, temperate zones, tropical zones and some arid zones.
Transportation
Dentara's transportation infrastructure is highly developed, to facilitate easy movement of military & domestic assets to population centres. Carefully maintained highways link much of Dentara, and strong roads link the rest of the population. The rail network is, while well-maintained, limited, and primarily used by the military; the system extends to the major population & military centres. Public transport is well-maintained by dedicated volunteers.
Military
Minimum Age of Combat Personnel: 20
Maximum Age of Combat Personnel: 65
Eligible For Service: Approx. 1.5 billion.
The Dentaran Military is an extremely powerful behemoth. The Military is responsible for much of Dentara's infrastructure, but this only takes up a small amount of manpower - the rest of Dentara's military might rests solely in the region of armed warfare. Up to a million soldiers are kept on active service at any given time, with a further three million able to be brought into active service in emergencies.
The Dentaran Imperial Armed Forces is easily the largest of the Military branches. The Armed Forces is made up of a massive force of highly trained conscripts, the Imperial Guard, with a moderately large core of elite career soldiers, the Imperial Blood Guard, and a large armoured force, the Imperial Armoured Cavalry. Supporting these core elements are the Dentaran Imperial Siege Regiments, which are comprised of a variety of different artillery pieces of varying sizes, from basic SPGs to massive, quad-cannon mobile emplacement pieces.
The Dentaran Imperial Navy is the smallest of the three Military branches. Nonetheless, it is still a powerful asset, made up of several fleets of powerful warships, supported by highly-trained Fleet Air Command pilots and expert submariner crews.
The Dentaran Imperial Air Force is the third branch of the Dentaran Military. A highly powerful, high-tech force, the Imperial Air Force is responsible for safeguarding the airspace of Dentara, deploying small task-forces to neighbouring countries, delivering aid packages to beleaguered nations, deploying elite Imperial Paratroopers into battlezones, and a multitude of other domestic services.
Another Military force, too small to be grouped in with the normal Military branches, is the Dentaran Holy Guard, a small but extensively trained force of soldiers, outfitted with the most modern technologies and trained to the peak of human performance, to excel in any situation. They are responsible for the safety of the Emperor, and, in times of crisis, can be deployed abroad to lend an ultra-capable force to any conflict.
Intelligence
Due to the nature of the Dentaran Government Structure, the Intelligence division of the Dentaran Military is quite powerful. There are two basic branches: the Department of International Intelligence, and the Homeland Intelligence Department (HID). They are well-funded, capable, and equipped with the best equipment available.
Diplomacy
The Holy Empire of Dentara is perfectly willing to form friendly relations with other nations. However, we frown upon nations that support, or worse, deal in the slave trade, oppress their populations, or are otherwise anarchist or chaotic in their governmental styles.
Embassies
Dentara is open to providing embassies to other nations, provided embassies are permitted in countries that ask for such a privelige. Furthermore, a security force of no more than company strength is permitted, for internal security measures; external security shall be provided by the Dentaran 11th Blood Guard Regiment.
Embassy blueprints are to be drafted by the nations requesting the embassy, and, within certain limits, can be of any design. Embassies will be constructed in the Inner City Region of the national capital, Dentar Prime.
Each embassy is guaranteed the following: full external security, provided by the elite forces of the 11th Blood Guard Reigment, 10ft steel fencing (electrification at request of nation), full external surveillence security measures provided by the Homeland Intelligence Department, and a dedicated garage/airstrip setup.
