Arhet:Imperium

 This is the coordination page for Imperium ● Find guidelines and useful resources about this collaborative initiative here. Imperium is a country located in Central Arhet (map), consisting of 90 first-level entities. It covers an area of 3,982,000 km² (5.4 million square miles), has an estimated total population of 978 million and shares borders with 29 countries. The collaborative initiative is coordinated by Mapping Expert (LordSpencer#9060 in Discord) and Moskva (Agrippa#3351 in Discord). The main guidelines for this collaborative initiative are:


 * Imperium is inspired by the Roman Empire. As the Roman Empire in its glorious years, Imperium has a large territory, as well as many cultures and languages. The national language is Latin (Hegemonian in the Arhet community) and the most important of its 8 institutional seats, Magium, is heavily inspired by the Imperial Rome, other Roman cities and contemporary cities throughout Europe and other parts of the IRL world.
 * Imperium is a confederation. The 90 first-level entities of Imperium are sovereign political entities, have their own constitution and government, and the power to determine the organization of their government and territory; they are grouped into 52 republics, 32 kingdoms and 6 archipelagos. Therefore, Imperium is governed through a hybrid system of supranational and intergovernmental decision-making, and according to the principles of conferral and subsidiarity, which implied the formation of eight Hegemonian institutions.
 * Teamwork is important. Any decisions about shared questions of economy, history, culture, etc., should be discussed as a team. Geographic coordination is also necessary — the main natural and certain human characteristics have been established by a community consensus and following a realistic model. For this reason, we encourage the coordination between zones to maintain the integrity of the project. Before taking any action that affects your neighbor's projects, you should talk about it with the community first.
 * Have fun! We expect that all interested mappers will collaborate on the project together and build something really amazing. For mapping in the country there are many sources of inspiration, as well as very different mapping styles, so it is very likely that you will find your space to map freely.
