The year is 456 of the Grand Empire, centuries upon centuries after modern day. And all inhabitable places on Earth belong to a single empire. Every country is now simply a province of this massive empire. Every continent on Earth is under the rule of a single man, the undying Emperor Aevis. Since his conquest of every country on the planet, Aevis has lived on for hundreds of years as emperor of the Grand Empire. His power was so great at the start of his reign, and all other nations were so weak and beaten, that he succeeded in stripping away all modern technology in order to ensure that his empire would not fall apart due to rebellion. Missiles, guns, cars, planes, computers, even highly advanced medicine were taken away during the early years of his rule. The people of the empire live a life of ignorance and superstition. Hardly any remain that can remember the technology that once played such a key role in everyday life. One of the only exceptions to this lack of technology is trains. A network of railroads connects the empire, allowing for fast travel. However, acquiring a ticket is expensive and normally can only be used by Aevis’s military and wealthy officials who are favored by the empire. Most still travel by horse or by foot. The other exception to this lack of technology is that used by the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard use many modern technologies and dub them as “magic” that one may only learn upon entering the Imperial Army Academy, where they are brainwashed completely to obey the empire and Emperor Aevis and to believe themselves in their “magic”. Aside from this, everything is like that of ancient times when swords and shields ruled. However, while stripping away all technology that could challenge the empire ensured the empire’s survival thus far, rebellion is far from being extinguished. People long for independence and for a better life than that offered by the imperial rule. This is especially evident in the far reaches of the empire, far from the capital in the Mediterranean. Not even giving each region sub-capitals such as Constantinople, Moscow, and New York to better govern the empire can keep order. The showdown between the Grand Empire and the world is about to begin.
