Fiction:Merosian Collective

The Grand and Prosperous United Merosian Imperium, otherwise known as the Merosian Imperium or simply Merosia, is a totalitarian fascist empire located in the. Having isolated itself from the rest of the galaxy, the Imperium is feared by many planetary or early-interplanetary civilizations in the region of space they inhabit for their apparent drive to conquer and claim more territory. The result of several civil wars which resulted in innumerable casualties, and of the species' inherent collectivism, the Merosian Imperium is known amongst neighboring interplanetary civilizations for their massive military and infamous invasion forces, comprised mainly of tripedal terror-based combat vehicles.

Society and Culture
To the unobservant, Merosian society may appear to be brainwashed masses blindly following a dictator without any revolt whatsoever. While the idea of "revolt" has not yet come to pass in the current cycle of civilization -- having done so to establish the Imperium itself, a byproduct of the Third Great War -- the Merosians are not "blind" in any sense. Merosian society is inherently collectivist, believing it cannot progress toward a "greater good" or towards the establishment of a true "great society" without complete participation in whatever way, shape, or form one may choose.

At the end of the Third Great War, Merosian society collectively concluded that all members of the civilization must contribute to the development and idea of a "great society" in whatever way they can, and to establish a sort of dictator -- the Grand Imperator -- to railroad current society in the direction that it needs to go to progress towards the sociocollectively-defined "great society". This form of "willing fascism" results in a complete lack of oppression of Merosian citizenry, as all citizens are considered as playing their part in the advancement of the Imperium toward fulfilling a "greater good".
