Terran: Literally ‘an Earth-dweller.’ Any person or cultural group who/which is Christian or follows the natural law, and follows cultural customs which originate from Terra. Subcultures which meet these criteria are part of the Terran cultural umbrella.

Nationalist: The belief that your culture, culture group, or nation has some level of good in it and has made good contributions to society, and should be preserved, protected, and improved upon.

 

Christian Global Nationalism: A belief that all cultures of the world have some value, whether apparent or hidden, to contribute to society as a whole, and that each and every one of those cultures should be protected and given room to thrive and grow in a Godly environment. This stands in opposition to Secular Humanist Globalism that seeks a Godless monoculture. This does not stand in opposition to local, state, or provincial nationalism, but is instead simply the next layer in an already layered idea.

 

Empire: A state, nation, or polity that encompasses and contains vast lands and peoples, and seeks to expand.

 People of Terra (Earth), we call upon you. Long have you suffered under the tyrant’s boot. Too long have the so-called “rulers” and “leaders” of the nations of this world oppressed the People, sent your children to pointless wars, and then left them to die on the streets if they so happened to survive. They silence you, they batter you when you speak against them, and they separate you into different pens like livestock, they treat you like animals and not with the dignity that you deserve, that everyone deserves. They separate you by the color of your skin, and say you are the problem if you speak against it. They separate you by class, keeping the poor distracted and angry over trivial matters, and keeping those with power and influence either apathetic or fearful to cause positive change. They distract you with state funded sports, movies, tv shows, and other entertainment that is devoid of meaning. They steal from you at gun point, and then give you part of it back and call it “charity”. If any common man were to do this to you, you would fight back against him. But surely this is a force greater than yourself, but not greater than all of us.

 “Why should I trust you?” you may ask. “There have been many like you, many who say they will free us, yet do the same things that they accuse their predecessors of. Why will you be any different?” There is a very simple answer to this, it is because we are the same as you. We do not come from rich backgrounds, our families were never wealthy or powerful, and we were never privileged. Many of us either grew up on farms, or poor in the cities, and were oppressed like many of you. Many of us, if it came to it, would stand between you and a bullet. If you thank us, we will say “It is only our duty.” And if you spit at us, we will fight for you none the less. We have no desire for power, and this is not something we do out of want, it is something we do out of need. We believe in something called Divine Privilege. As opposed to a right, it is not to be expected, and it must be earned. The government has the responsibility to protect its people's rights (including, but not limited to speech, religion, arms, and much more), maintain law and order, and to protect their lives and livelihoods. To do this, they have certain powers, such as raising a military, writing laws, collecting fair taxes, creating police departments, and carrying out legal punishment for crimes (after a fair trial). If a government forsakes its duty or is ineffective in it, it loses its divine sanction, and thus becomes illegitimate. The government is at the foot of the People, and serves at the behest of God, and may only operate for as long as He sees fit. We understand that, and we respect it. We will fight for you and we will die for you.

 To the Christians who may be thinking “This sounds suspiciously like something the Antichrist prophesied in Revelation would do.” Our answer is this. We do not know when the prophecies of Revelation will come to pass, nor does the Scripture say that the ONLY time that the world will unite is under the Antichrist, and as such we believe that what we are proposing is simply an extension of the command to Christians to imitate Christ, as our very title means “Little Christ”. We hold that Chirst’s final reign during both the Millennial Kingdom, and the New Heavens, New Earth, and New Jerusalem in Eternity Future should be imitated, however pale that imitation shall be. And we understand that one day the Imperium must be destroyed, as all things built by Man must. We however hope that the Imperium stands until it must fall to allow for the events prophesied in Revelation to occur.  There will be many of you who say to yourselves “Christ ordered us to witness and to spread the Gospel, not build an earthly kingdom.” While we do agree that Christ never explicitly commanded us to create an earthly empire, it is never expressly forbidden for us to do either. And we firmly believe that the mission of making disciples would be made far easier under a Christian world government. We believe that government types or forms, when not explicitly condemned in the Bible, are simply a matter of practicality and logic. We believe that to look at Scripture and look at what is only explicitly allowed would cut us off from many things that currently exist, but are not sin in and of themselves, and that we should look at what is expressly forbidden, and if something is not expressly forbidden then it is allowed to be pursued. We are putting this movement and its government into God's hands and leaving its fate in His control.
 To the non Christians who are skeptical about a Christian world government or simply apathetic to the cause of Christ, then fight for the cause of Freedom. There have been so many attempts at Freedom, by so many disparate groups over the history of Terra that we know that Freedom is something that the people of this world want desperately, need endlessly, and deserve by their nature. We will not trample any of your rights in the name of Christ, because that would antithetical to the cause, and to the free will that God has granted you. Your Freedom to choose your own religion or lack of religion or anything under the sun that you may wish, so long as it does not violate the liberties of another person, shall never be infringed, impaired, or regulated in any way. While we will not let moral relativism seep into our government, our society is free to do as it pleases. Many false Christian governments, namely the Fascist government of Franco’s Spain, Puritan England, Catholic France during the Reformation, and others have oppressed the religious dissidents in their borders, be they non Christians or different sects of Christians. It should be known that they do not represent the Christian faith and they were in opposition to what Christ taught and what we are instructed to do. Our stance on this issue is best summarized by the words of our founder. 

 

 “Let these wars of moral grounds be of words and kindness, not of law and a steel boot.”           

— Imperator Augustus Caelestus

 

To those of you that are skeptical of or do not understand how a global nation could keep local identities alive, let us assuage your concerns with an argument used to convince one such individual in the past: 

I will address your concerns on sovereignty and culture in two points; the first being the nature of the current United States itself, and the nature of the Imperium. Firstly, the United States is not a monolithic culture. Someone from the Californian Valley wouldn't be the same as even someone from the mountains, let alone Kansas, Texas, or New York. This is even with some forcefulness from the government to conform. Additionally, within the United States, individual states are given autonomy. Now, as the world stands, it is not heading for cultural monolith, even with cultural enforcement. With the Imperium not only allowing absolute freedom, including of culture; it promotes cultural diversity, as God loves beauty in uniqueness. A government building in Arabia would have Arabic architecture, America would have American architecture, Iaponia (Japan or Nippon) would have Japanese architecture, and so on, and each province has its own flag, anthem, coat of arms, and animal, and so do states. They are also allowed their own constitutions, provided they align with Imperial Law, as well as honorary names. The Province of America may call itself the United States, and may call their governor their president. Even the Imperial Government has a duty to try to preserve and revive cultures, provided their traits are positive or neutral. Additionally, the Imperium is a federation, not a unitary state. Provinces would self-govern, and the Imperium would only step in if they violate their peoples' rights, or are ineffective to protect them. This goes down to states, counties, cities, and other local governments. The Government is only there to protect life and liberty, and tries to leave the People alone.

Next I will address your belief that Global Nationalism is an oxymoron. As opposed to Secular Globalism, which currently prevails as the ideology of the current day, Global Nationalism does not seek to dissolve culture, homogenize it, or otherwise strip uniqueness away. Global Nationalism is the idea that the world is one nation, but a nation of nations. To be Japanese is to be a member of Terra, just as being an American is the same. We stand strong together as many peoples, united in goal and values, not in homogeny. To further reinforce this idea, this was common in the world in many areas. A person in the United States was a Virginian, Californian, or what have you, but also an American. It is the same idea. A person may be a Sacramentan, Californian, American, and Terran. It is not mutually exclusive, but more strengthening, and the entire nature of what nationalism even is. Terran culture cannot be one culture; it can only be a multitude. If you are thinking "I fight for America, not the whole world", then you are fighting for the same thing. The entire world must be free, including America. So if everyone fights for their own nation, then the same goal will be achieved, with a global state to ensure such freedom remains.

To those of you who say “This sounds good, but wouldn’t it end up like the United Nations, with its rampant corruption, and ineffectual action?” We answer that with an argument that we provided for a person who is attempting to get people on board and has run into that rebuttal. First and foremost the UN has no solid structure of morality on which to base their authority, believing that all worldviews hold merit and value, while the Imperium is founded on Christian beliefs and values as well as moral absolutism and the belief that however everyone feels, Freedom must and shall be protected, even at great cost. Second the UN is run by opposing tyrannical powers, many of whom are, whether they know it or not, being puppeted from behind the scenes via multiple power hungry individuals and organizations, for the purpose of enriching themselves, impoverishing the already poor, and causing the suffering of everyone but themselves. Thirdly, and of least importance, the UN has no real enforcement power. Even if they were a good organization, they would not be useful as their lack of power would prevent them from doing anything to further any goal. In contrast, the Imperium and its People explicitly have the ability to resist and destroy tyranny with deadly force.

 We are ready to fight for you, and we will do so until this vision is seen through. All we need is for you to join us and the fight will begin.

 For those who have reached this far and are thinking to yourselves “This sounds like something I would be for, and I want to know what this will look like.” Let us now describe our system to you. There are many parts to our system, pulled from multiple sources. This includes, but is not limited to Roman and Christian iconography, Roman Imperial framework, American government structure and federation system, a reformed justice system, elements of elective monarchy, a refined Chinese meritocratic political structure, and a refinement of Persian “Eternal Law” for our most important foundational laws. These all combined are the foundation of the structure of the Sacrum Imperium Terrarum (Holy Empire of the Lands or Holy Terran Empire). “How would all of these work together?” you may ask. They work together through the Terran constitution, which includes, but is not limited to the Lex Fundamentalis (Fundamental Law), Lex Communis (Common Law), the Lex Militaris (Military Law), and several other aspects brought together with pain staking effort, as well as amendments made to both Lex Communis and the Lex Militaris as needed. The Lex Fundamentalis is unchangeable once ratified, and is the foundational basis for all other laws as it defines your rights, what powers the government does and does not have, the values we are founded upon, and the framework under which our system is governed. It is also listed within the Lex Fundamentalis, that should the government violate your rights, you have the right to defend them, even with force.

The specifics of this are long and detailed, but we shall do our best to condense and summarize them to provide you with the information that you need to make your decision. First is the three branches of government. Much like the original American system under the Constitution, there are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch is headed by the Imperator and C0-Imperator. Imperator is a Latin term meaning Commander; it is not a version of the word Emperor, which means King of Kings or Sovereign, which are titles that only Christ may hold. The choice to use this word is because the Imperator is a servant to the people and the commander of the military which defends them, not a king above men, or a ruler to be feared. The Imperator and Co-Imperator are both elected by a two/thirds majority of both chambers of the Legislative branch, and must both be trained extensively in all disciplines related to being the servant leaders of the People of Terra. They must be physically and mentally fit, a Christian in good standing, a citizen of Terra, eligible for public office, morally upright in both public and private life, husband to but one wife or wife to but one husband, with no concubines, secondary spouses, or lovers, and must be celibate if unmarried. There is no bar from a woman ascending to the office of Imperator, in which case the title Imperatrix would be used instead. The Imperator shall be the chief diplomat of the Imperium, the commander-in-chief of all military forces, and the chief executor of all Imperial law and policy. The Imperator shall act in consultation with, but not subordination to, other branches of government, bound always by the Lex Fundamentalis. The Imperator shall have advisors and ministers to assist him in the servant leadership of Terra, not all advisors shall be ministers, but all ministers shall be advisors. The Imperator and Co-Imperator can also be impeached if they are found to be in breach of capital or serious crimes, inability to lead, or conduct unbecoming their position. The Imperator holds many titles, those titles are: Custodian of Holy Terra, Regent of Jerusalem, Primarch of the Imperial Military, and Magnus Servus; the Great Servant of the People.

The legislative branch is the Terran Imperial Congress, which is a bicameral system made up of the Conventus Civium Terrarum (Assembly of the Citizens of Terra) and the Senatus Populusque Terrarum (Senate of the People of Terra, SPQT). The Assembly of the Citizens are the representatives of the People of Terra, while the Senate are the representatives of the provinces. Elections are held every two years for Representatives, who have a term limit of four terms, and every eight years for Senators who have a term limit of one term. The Imperial Congress has the authority to, within a hard limit, enact legislation, levy taxes, declare war, ratify treaties, design currency, and confirm appointments. All legislative acts require approval from both chambers. The Assembly initiates all legal bills; the SPQT confirms all appointments and treaties. War can never be declared for unjust or trivial reasons, but only for the defense of the People and their freedoms. For each Senatorial Province, it is given two elected Senators, and at minimum one Representative, adding one more for every 50 million people, and capping at 10 Representatives each.

 

The Judicial branch balances the other two, by ruling on decisions by lower courts, settling disputes between the Legislative and Executive branches, and interpreting the law. It is comprised of the Supreme Court of Terra and various lower courts to be decided by the Lex Communis.

Governors of Provinces are elected every ten years, and serve no more than two terms. 
 To be a citizen, you are either born to a citizen, or within our land to people who are legally in our land, or you are naturalized. To vote, one must either serve in the military, or one must take a test, proving they understand our history, government, language, and culture. Government workers must take the test.

The capital of the Sacrum Imperium Terrarum is the old city of Jerusalem.

Women are permitted in the Imperial Military, but not on the front lines without special dispensation, this is not a question of their worth or ability, but simply a recognition of the physical differences between men and women, and their natural roles. Also millennia of military history has shown that frontlines composed of a mix of men and women have nearly always been detrimental.

The symbol of the Sacrum Imperium Terrarum is the world on a red background. Behind it is a sword, above it are three red stars, in front of it on the bottom is a golden cross, and around it is a golden laurel. Our flag is a yellow two-headed eagle with a red cross on its chest on a red background. Above it are two crossed yellow swords and four yellow crowns in the four intersections. Around the eagle is a yellow laurel. On the sides are artistic rectangles. In the top-left and bottom-right corners are Crosses of Jerusalem, and in the opposite corners are Crosses of Malta.

The official faith of the Imperium is Ecclesia Unita, which is the united Christian Church. The Ecclesia Unita is nothing new; simply recognized now. It is all Christians. It is run by your local Catholic priest, Protestant pastor, or Orthodox Patriarch. Its main holy cities are Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, Rome, and Sacrament; sanctified by the acts of saints. The Church and its land, including holy orders, and the land and orders of any other religion, are untaxed and not subject to the Imperium, yet are part of it, and are not permitted to violate other’s rights, as they are supposed to be voluntary organizations. 

The official languages of the Imperium shall be the languages of any culture that is a sub-culture of the Terran culture group, or that has made its culture a part of the Terran culture group. The languages of all governmental operations, at all levels of governance and military, including voting, shall be either English or Latin. We intend to incorporate cultures as subcultures of Terran culture. We seek to unite culture, not destroy, and not to make it homogenous. We want everyone to share the same values, and be able to understand each other, hence an official language, but we enjoy the different traditions of subcultures, and we want them to stay unique. And regardless of governmental stance, no person shall be compelled to adopt Terran culture, consider themselves Terran, or even recognize it. This also applies to the Christian Faith.

 So, People of Terra, I call for you to stand up against oppression and tyranny, and to free your brothers and sisters. If we all stand together, we will be unstoppable. If you believe you wouldn't be much help, you are wrong. Everyone has a duty. And if God's glory does not motivate, then let the freedom of your siblings, parents, and children motivate you.
