The New Continent

(First, before we move on with the story. I forgot to go into details about the Empire's laws and education or citizenship.

So I will begin with listing that now.)

Education

Children be they noble or not are commanded by the law to go at the age of ten to go through seven-year-long basic education.

Then they either can choose to further their education either choosing the more practical (job education, Butcher, jewelry maker, blacksmith, merchant, etc...) where they will be taught the basics of the subject they chose.

It is a four-year-long course they are also taught the practical sides of the subject. The last two years they are sent in two's or four's to real-life shops/workshops to see how it will be going for them after they finish the course.

The last year they can be either chosen as apprentices if someone goes to school to look for talents or they can try their luck on their own or choose to go to one of the empire-run chains.

They can also choose to go for different kinds of education the political one most noble children choose this one since it is used to get knowledge on how to run territories, how to be diplomats, or how some of the government positions work.

Then there's the last one the scholar one. You are taught how to be an advisor(be it for nobles, government officials, or the companies.) or one of the Taurens(they are something akin to maester's from the game of thrones mixed with something akin to the magic council.) of Travenn where you will be writing every new knowledge gained on expeditions into the Great library/archive of Travenn.

Or you can be chosen for your more practical skills and be more of a scientist(not a literal scientist still medieval.) where you will experiment on how particular plants mixed have different effects or you can try to find better versions of already existing potions or lotions, or you can try to create entirely new ones.

Then there are the more mechanical ones you will be trying to create or perfect innovations be they weapons, armors, ships, carriages, or home utilities.

Economy

Foreign shops and merchants have higher taxes than the ones that are based or started in the empire or have the main/biggest shops in the empire.

If merchants want to sell empire-only products in a foreign land they need a permit from the empire.

Merchants can get loans from either empire or a bank that has been revised by the empire to be clean.

If they want they can start companies.

They can also get a permit or make deals with either empire or the Taurens to have exclusivity for some time(two to four months) on some products. If the product has been created by someone from the company they get one-year exclusivity.

Population

When a citizen is expecting a child/children they need to inform the appropriate office.

Every year there is a population inquiry if someone doesn't participate they are fined.

Every new species that appear in the empire needs to be recorded in the ministry. Be they new Half species (Half-elf, Half-dwarf, etc...) or subspecies of already recorded ones.

Foreign citizens(visiting) are given a visitor pass that lasts for two months after that they either can ask for a prolonging of the visitor pass or they can ask for citizenship. They will be then evaluated if they are risk or not(spies, criminals, and so on.). That can last two to four years. After that, it takes anywhere from a month to a full year to get an announcement that they passed or not. Depending on if they showed any suspicious behavior or some suspicious activity.

If they are from a country or empire that is currently at war or has a bad relationship with the empire. The process can be as long as six years.

Merchants or companies from foreign lands need to ask for permits for conducting business in the empire territory. They also need to announce every shipment of goods that they bring to the empire. These goods are then thoroughly searched if there are drugs weapons or something that shouldn't be there.

Merchants or companies that originated or have the main base or biggest base here have some leeway be it lesser taxes people will likely choose them over the foreign brands and many more.

(If I missed anything please let me know.

I will also be taking suggestions on changes or new laws. Thanks in advance.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm on a ship just a few days from the shore and I just feel something tugging at the back of my mind.

It's most likely because of how long I had been on the ship so I will ignore it for now.

Anyway, I left Demiurge and Albedo in charge of the empire for now while Pandoras Actor is posing as me.

I took Aura and Mare with me since the Tribe is of rabbit species.

But still, it seems similar to me even though I can't remember details.

Tribe of Warrior rabbits and its leader is Queen.

Hmmm. Nope, nothing.

Then there's the issue of The Empire and its royalty especially the second prince and the emperor. Just thinking about them pisses me off. I will most likely conquer this empire but still, it will be for the best if they attack first so the other countries on this continent wouldn't be so likely to join them.

I would also like to either have a colony or two of the rabbit tribe back in my empire or maybe located the tribe entirely in my empire until the business on this continent is cleared up.

Well, we'll see how this meeting will go.

(A few days later.)

Well, we're just a few minutes from the shore now.

Ugh. The headache keeps growing. I really hope the Taurens will be able to create aspirin any time soon.

It seems that the procedure is for the Emperor/king to go off the ship after his guard. Which in my case are twenty soldiers, fifteen knights, fifteen archers, five healers, and five mages plus Aura and Mare.

When I finally step on the shore I see something before my eyes.

"Is that a menu?"

(And that's the end I hope you enjoyed it.

Please point out any mistakes I made.

See you next time.)
