Imperial Cultural Region
An Imperial Cultural Region is a subgrouping within the larger Third Imperium.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
These sub-polities or subgroupings allow cultural groups with strong identities toc retain a larger degree of cultural expression and autonomy than previously experienced.
- While many cultural regions are based upon racial (genetic) species or groupings, others are purely cultural (sociological) or historical in scope.
- The goal of the program is to recognize and encourage diversity within the Third Imperium.

Non-extant Cultural-Autonomous Regions[edit]
At one time, a deliberate program of extending greater autonimity to Imperial subjects was being instituted, but it was later rejected as being too divisive:
- Geonee Autonomous Region (GAR)
- Never ratified by the Imperial Moot.
- Solomani Autonomous Region (SAR) (Solomani Cultural Region)
- Established by Empress Margaret I in 704.
- Internally reorganized its governmental structure under the name "Solomani Confederation" in 871.
- Imperial sanction for region revoked by Empress Margaret II in 940, eventually leading to the Solomani Rim War (990-1002).
- Does not have a present-day associated government.
- Many of the inhabitants of this region remained independent of the Imperium in those territories the Imperium failed to reclaim at the conclusion of the Solomani Rim War.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Most Imperial cultural regions were once rebellious areas before being conquered and incorporated into the Third Imperium.
- As such most Imperial cultural regions are anchored to a government polity associated with the conquered group.
Establishment of the Cultural Region System[edit]
The CRS System is intended to foster interstellar trade, society, and eventual inclusion within the Third Imperium. The typical progression of development includes the following sequence:
- Postal Union
- Free Trade Zone
