With the discovery of a new world, many minor nobles saw the chance to carve out their own feifdoms. This was sanctioned by the monarchs of the old world kingdoms in exchange for minor periodic tributes to the home crowns. Since these new world kingdoms were less culturally dogmatic than their mother lands, they became a refuge for religious dissidents, political radicals, and and those just seeking a better life.When the old world kingdoms broke out into continental war, the tribute they asked from the colonies became greater and greater. The new world kingdoms saw this as their chance to break from their respective home crowns. When the old world kingdoms came to retake their colonies, the new world nobles promised the common people a measure of representation in the new regiem, in exchange for their support. In exchange for a promise that the new Empire would follow canon law the clergy remained neutral. After a victory in the war, the king who led the Federated Kingdoms served as Emperor for a decade. Although he could have ruled for the rest of his life, he stepped down, and retired to his own kingdom. His example was made law by the legislature, and in a compromise between the two houses each new Emperor would be a reigning king chosen by the people.</blockquote>
