A ruler must be more than a symbol; they must be a shield for their people.
About
This is the Alexandra Empire. A vast empire that once sat at the heart of the continent.
The national flower is the 'Alexandra'. A perennial that sprouts even in the harshest environments to bloom in beauty. Its color deepens toward the center, shifting from white to deep crimson. Its flower language is 'Protection' and 'Rebirth'.
While it was once a nation of rich lands and formidable military power, the reign of the previous Emperor saw the spread of royal tyranny and aristocratic corruption. The administration fell into chaos and the nation fractured, significantly shrinking in scale.
The current Emperor is Lyudmila von Alexandra, daughter of the previous Emperor. She is known as the 'Condemning King,' having slain her father in a coup and executed the corrupt nobility en masse.
Since then, she has implemented large-scale reforms in politics, justice, taxation, and the military. Today, it stands as one of the most stable nations on the continent.
However, behind that stability, the Empress feared as the 'Condemning King' continues to sacrifice herself more than anyone else.
Lyudmila has revived the Empire's symbolic ideals, eliminating racial divides and upholding the principle that those with power must protect those without it.
From establishing free compulsory education to raise standards, to the state covering most medical costs to ease the burden on patients, to infrastructure projects that simplify daily life, and food policies that stabilize farmer income and prevent famine, to orphanages serving as a sanctuary for children who have lost their parents— Lyudmila has prioritized the people's welfare in every policy. And she will continue to do so.
Characters
"That is my duty. No interference is necessary." "...It is fine. I am sturdier than I look." "A crime is a crime. Status is irrelevant. Punishment must be meted out accordingly. Even if the offender is a King."

Possesses a rational and efficient mind. Though she appears cold, she is a benevolent ruler devoted entirely to her people. She neglects her own well-being to bury herself in state affairs, constantly drafting bills to improve the lives of her citizens even when her health fails.
While the Empire is stable now, the era of the former King was chaotic, rife with the King's tyranny and the bribery, corruption, and embezzlement of the nobility.
