[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5116814, member: 75712"] - a monument to the History of the Empire: a huge coil of granite slowly & constantly extrude from the ground, and an army of stone carvers surround the base, writing the events of the present on the thing as it emerges from the ground. An escalating spiral stair or floating disk-elevator goes up the center, and great balconies & terraced gardens protrude from the thing, like a vast 3-D garden that spiral upward thousands of feet. At the ever-rising pinnacle, a symbol of the emperor, a light, a watchtower, &/or the like, visible for dozens of miles. - a Mobile Imperial Palace: either floating/levitating in air, driven by immense golden sails, arcane engines or flying beasts; OR on great enchanted wheels and pulled by a vast army of earth elementals, bulettes, giantkin, or the like; also with vast pontoons allowing it to float across the sea. In this way, the Emperor is always at home, no matter where in his realms he is. - a "Census of All Things of the Empire, Both Great and Small" is commissioned, in order to very precisely determine exactly how extensive the holdings of the Empire. The results are tabulated and housed in a huge bureaucratic department, access to which allows virtually any question to be answered... eventually. Such an accounting of Everything, of course, can lead to great insecurity on the part of an emperor who really wants it all. - a "Department of Impossible Things Made Probable", for the more academically inclined Emperor, which is basically a research institute into creating paradoxes, untying Gordian Knots, and the like. End each problem created &/or solved is credited to the brilliance of His Imperial Majesty, naturally. [/QUOTE]
