The Imperial truth ExplainedThe Imperial Truth is the name given to the secular, rationalist ideology promulgated by the Fatherland Front. The Imperial truth was pioneered by the first Imperator Corvo Attano in 3734 and is a collection of ideologies that upholds the core values of reason, science and secular progress over the older traditions of religion, superstition and faith that had longed defined many of the countries of Terra that have fallen into darkness.
The Imperator has ordered the Imperial Truth to be brought to all the nations of the world, peacefully if able but imposed by war if necessary, because the Imperator believes that unity is the only way for humanity to survive and prosper. If this requires the unfortunate use of force against those who refuse to understand this necessity, then so be it. While the Imperial Truth upholds the light of reason and science, it does have one proscription: men if able to develop artificially intelligent machines must make them into their own image and be equal to them.
OOC: Think of a fundamentalist religion propagating Atheistic Anti theism with slight small tiny bit nationalistic sentiments hidden inside it to be able to be easily swallowed by the masses.
It is said that the Iterators are selected through a process even more rigorous and scrupulous than the induction mechanisms of the Commissars. "One man in a thousand might become a Commissar," an Imperial saying goes, "but only one in a hundred thousand is fit to be an Iterator." To be an Iterator, a person had to have certain rare gifts that belied simple physical or genetic enhancement, including psychological insight, articulateness, political genius, and a keen intelligence. The latter could be boosted pharmaceutically, and a mind could be tutored in history, ethics, politics and rhetoric. A person can be taught what to think, and how to express that line of thought, but he can not be taught how to think, which is the critical specialty of the Iterators. Yet Iterators are not simply schooled in the art of public speaking. They are also trained in both sides of the business of persuasion. Seeded amongst a crowd, Iterators can whip it up into enthusiasm with a few well-timed responses, or equally turn a rabble against the speaker.
