The Actreine Empire
The Actreine Empire owns all of Actrein. This includes the Kreshniva Protectorate, which enjoys a status of pseudo-independence from the empire while still being under its jurisdiction and having to obey many of the laws laid down by the Vel Tuturi.
Structure
There are three Kings who are technically in charge of the governing of Actrein. However, all three of them take their orders from the Vel Tuturi church.
Public Agenda
The empire itself doesn't have a public agenda, aside from continuing to exist as an empire.
The Vel Tuturi Church, however, does have a public agenda, one which it is very much upfront about. It wants everyone in the world to either be a member of the Vel Tuturi Church, or to die as a heretic.

Assets
The Actreine Empire owns everything. The land, the buildings, the resources, the livestock... If it's in Actrein, the empire owns it.
History
Almost all of Actrein's history has been recorded in the Vel Tuturi History Tomes. These books detail what came before the empire and the Vel Tuturi, as well as how they came to be.
According to the history tomes, Actrein was once divided into six regions (Kreshniva and the Tratia Archipelago were not their own regions/sub-regions in those days). These regions were constantly in a state of conflict, and in a majority of the regions' territory the Tridomatrics ruled with an iron fist.
It's said that the home base of the Tridomatrics was in present-day Chutus, possibly in the Vegretrie Mountains due to the size of the mountain range and the height of the mountains. However, all attempts to explore the mountain range have been unsuccessful.

Demography and Population
The demographics of the Actreine Empire are everyone who lives within the empire's territory. Kreshmen, Northern Actreines, Equatorial Actreines, Southern Actreines - all of them are part of the Actreine Empire.
Territories
The territory of the Actreine Empire is all of Actrein. From every grain of sand to every leaf on every tree, all of it is owned by the Actreine Empire. Even the oceans and seas are owned by the empire.
It's believed that, during the Great Rebellion , the Vel To'ori began fighting against the Tridomatrics, slowly gaining territory until it became the present-day Vel Tuturi Church, ruling over all of Actrein.

Military
The largest military force in the Actreine Empire is the Actreine Army, enforcing the laws of the empire, as well as protecting the government officials and the high-ranking members of the Vel Tuturi Church.
Kreshniva also has its own military force, however. While it is far behind the Actreine Army in terms of sheer numbers, the Kreshman force is often believed to have the capability to defeat the Actreine Army under the right conditions.

Religion
The official religion of the Actreine Empire is the Vel Tuturi Church. All other religions are considered cults, even the largest of the cults.
The Vel Tuturi runs the government of the empire, making all major decisions and being the final say in what is right or wrong.

Foreign Relations
The closest thing to foreign relations that the Actreine Empire has is with the Kreshniva Protectorate, which is still a part of the empire.
Kreshniva is viewed as both a valuable part of the empire and as a threat to be appeased so as not to anger them into rebellion. Some believe that, if the Kreshmen hadn't been allowed Protectorate status, they might have tried to take over the empire - and won.

Judicial and Legislative Body
The Vel Tuturi Church technically plays the role of judiciary, as well as playing the role of executioners. They make the decisions of who is in the right or wrong, and will decide on the punishment for those declared criminals. In the case of heretics, the Vel Tuturi Church will handle executions itself.The Vel Tuturi Church also makes many of the laws of the empire, though some of the lawmaking is left to the three kings.
Currency
Actrein uses a simple system of three coins: the menudo, the merum, and the medra.The menudo is a copper coin, the coin with the lowest value. It's a small coin, about an inch wide, in the shape of a hexagon, with a dragon spitting fire on its head and a roaring lion on its tail. The edges of the coin have simple grooves in them.
The merum is a silver coin, worth 151 menudos. It's slightly larger than a menudo, at about two inches wide. It's in the shape of a square. On its head is a tree (alluding to the Vel Tuturi Creation Myth), and on its tail is a falcon in flight.
The medra is a golden coin, worth 20 merums or 3,038 menudos. It's a circular coin, the largest of the three at about three inches wide. Its head bears a symbol of a rapier and a broadsword crossed, while its tail depicts a grand castle.
