Los Aclarado

Los Aclarado (The Enlightened), officially the Imperial League of Enlightened Commonwealths, is a military alliance of imperialist countries.

History
The beginnings of the Imperial League are starky devided between the cultures that had positive interculturation with the High Kingdoms, and the regions that rejected the teachings of their new masters.

After the bloody Seventy Years War, there was peace among the powers of Auqueil. This peace did not last long, however, as religious tension rose between an alliance of Oric nations known as the Oric League and the Rostemic Turbekkia. This tension exploded into the War of a Hundred Gods, which despite early Oric gains, resulted in a Rostemic victory. This defeat signalled the end of expansion to the East for the Oric states, and the shifting of their ambitions to the sea.

Exploring the seas, the Oric powers of Albossia, Gallica, and Rheos founded many colonies and obtained great wealth. Contacting and conquering many peoples, these powers become convinced of their superiority and decided to solidify their alliance with the Alignment of the Enlightened, founding Los Aclarado as it exists today.

Logistical strain between the Enlightened and their colonies eventually led to the Trade War. This war almost destroyed Los Aclarado unity, as animosity rose between the member nations. Before a decisive resolution could be reached, Gallican army general Anthony Hecht, along with an entourage of armed atheistic officers, executed the Gallican royal family, in a event known as the Separation from God.

This sudden upset effectively ended the last internal Imperial conflict. The overthrow of the Gallican monarchy, let alone by an atheist, was a terrifying realization for the remaining Imperial powers. Correctly predicting the spread of this godlessness known as centralism, Los Aclarado secured their borders and Imperial politics became mostly preoccupied with preserving religion. During this period of extreme political conservatism a wave of change had swept across the Imperial nation of Riehr, decentralizing theocratic power there. This resulted in Riehr becoming distant from the other Imperial powers, but still adamantly opposed to centralism.

The emergence of the Babylonian trade sphere and the adoption of full-scale industrialization brought the Enlightened to a standoff, feeling cautious in regards to their neutrality with Babylon. The establishment of the First Council saw immediate Imperial endorsement—a fact denied today to ease tensions with Babylonian refugees. As most sides developed their respective super-weapons during the uneasy peace, Los Aclarado instead swelled its armed forces and concentrated resources on mass-producing vehicles. During this build-up the Enlightened accounted for more than half of all bombers and a fifth of all fighters in Pentad stock.

The infamous Imperial seige of Dekwar, the free city of Atlas, was the catalyst to the first End War. In a reveal that began with a massive surprise attack, Riehr turned on its former Imperial allies as a Babylonian supporter. Riehr held its ground during the drawnout conventional war for two full weeks before being beaten back to its last defences. By the end of the war Babylon was utterly destroyed.

In need of another ally to consolidate their victory and secure their eastern colonies, the Great Wave of Prosperity was invited to join Los Aclarado. agreeing with enthusiasm, they changed their title to the Holy Wave of Prosperity.

With a wider, if somewhat weakened empire, the Enlightened took to repairing world trade. Los Aclarado's far less tolerant manner in dealing with "undesirables" led to a far weaker system than what Babylon had created. It is hypothesized that inferior service and strict "lesser limitations" were what resulted in the collapse of the Independent Sovereign Union, which resulted in the formation of the Cabal.

Today the Enlightened stand strong, but as the godless Centralists arm themselves with high technology, and the pagan Kyvan Pact to the East births massive mechanized armies, it seems that Los Aclarado has but a few more decades of history to write—before it is written about them.

The Imperial Freedom movement has brought the stability of the Englightened into question. Driven by the idea of a council of alligned nations, these revolutionaries are steadfast in the face of Inqusitorial crackdowns and infiltration.

Structure
Los Aclarado is divided into seven politically independant member states, most of which control one or more extra-national territories.

The League of the enlightened are comprised of Seven sovereign nation-states, who in turn maintain satellites and colonies across the rest of Harmony. Political affairs are headed by the Divine Kingdom of Rheos, whose conservative principles guide the rest of the council. The utmost priority of the league is the preservation of the Imperialist and Oric world, especially after the fall of Gallica during Gallica's Centralist Revolution.

Los Aclarado's unifying concepts include the Oric faith, providing Remus with power beyond its rather weak military capability. The High Prophet, the de jure leader of Remus is the final word on spiritual matters. Even in the furthest reaches of the Provinces, the word of the High Prophet echoes like the demi-god they claim him to be.



Imperial Colonies and Allies
The Enlightened are biased and hypocritical, with even the central members being only accepting of the alliance. Generally Imperial colonies are unhappy with their rulers, but others such as Bharatica are more satisfied due to their flourishing under Imperial rule. Recently the Imperial colony of Eira has become a destabilized region, with members of ERA carrying out terrorist attacks on Imperial interests.

Centralist Confederacy
The Confederacy is the sworn ideological enemy of Los Aclarado due to the former's disrespect for religion, which is held dear to the Imperials. Dealings between these two powers are often short and unproductive, with threats of personal and international violence being the traditional end to these negotiations.

Kyvan Pact
In the past the Imperials viewed the Vershnyk and Pal'Nyk as their greatest threat and their religion a heretical bastardization of the Oric faith. Despite these differences and enmities both powers would prefer to overlook them due to similar origin and culture. Concerning geopolitics, Los Aclarado and Kyvan interests often clash, for example in Weishu, the North Sea, and southern Mekazi.

Dominium
Los Aclarado and the Dominium are historical rivals and have a bitter hatred for each other based primarily on principle. These powers are located too far apart geographically to threaten each other seriously, but they are endlessly locked in skirmishes wherever their forces may meet. The source of this rivalry can be said to stem from polar-opposite moralities but it is more realistically that both want to be the one and only colonial power.

Cabal
The Cabal formed due to unchecked exploitation and oppression, most of which at the hand of Los Aclarado. This dynamic is not at all positive, but nonetheless the Imperial powers of Los Aclarado hardly acknowledge the possibility of a united terrorist front.

Strategy
Los Aclarado forces rely on the power of coordinated assaults and combined arms. While numerous, Los Aclarado forces are lightly armoured and fairly costly and should be used with armoured support to provide a buffer to keep your superior forces intact. Los Aclarado forces are quite varied due to the presence of colonial troops and have some of the cheapest elite units in the game.
