Phoenix Domain

The Imperial Phoenix.

The Imperial Domain of the Phoenix is an interplanetary empire consisting of over thirty inhabited worlds. It is the ultimate realization of the noble human spirit and the natural descendant of previous historic empires.

History

See History of the Phoenix Domain.

Society

The Phoenix Domain is regarded as a feudal society with strong capitalist influences. Domain government, business, and much of everyday life tends to be governed by the philosophical principles of Objectivism.

While the Domain itself is a feudal society, many of the planets within the Domain are democratic and retain their own individual cultures.

Government

One of the most notable features of the Domain is the emperor, known as the Eternal Phoenix, whose consciousness is uploaded into a new body every thirty years or so.

Economy

While on the surface a feudal society, the Domain operates economically as a capitalist empire, preferring laissez-faire capitalism and open markets to the heavy-handed control of government. It has been said many times by many emperors past: “The business of the Domain is business.”

By some measures, the Imperial government practices less control and regulation of the economy than the Federation Council within its borders.

Military

The Domain considers itself primarily an economic power, reserving the use of military force only in the defense of Imperial interests. The Imperial Navy is the space fleet of the Domain, with Imperial Marines operating as the landing forces of the fleet.
