Artistic Forces/Totalitarian Empire

"Ĉiuj salutas la Diktatorecan Imperion!"

- The voice when the Totalitarian Empire is selected in the Campaign mode. The Totalitarian Empire is one of the factions of Artistic Forces.

Description
When a derivative of humanity devotedly went dictatorial with the possession of propaganda, psychological warfare, imperialism, authoritarianism, and even totalitarianism, the ruthless regime known as the Totalitarian Empire was formed out of and as a result of multiple terrorist, rebel, separatist, anarchist, and globalist organizations that started to emerge within an unknown century of the Animatopian calendar. Prior to its establishment, the militaristic, autocratic order as we know it did not exist back then - the terrorist, secessionist (including nationalists), anarchist, rebel and globalist organizations had no real cohesion, and though they were a nuisance to other interfering governments, especially those of the world governments, they were not really considered a globally shaking threat.

The Totalitarian Empire, together with the devotedly ruthless dictator, rose to the power of territorial conquest with a supportive groundswell of authoritarian, militaristic, and populist endorsements, promising peace and stability from incidents and wars, and capitalizing of anti-globalist, anti-anarchist, anti-rebel, anti-separatist and anti-internationalist sentiments, and ethnocentrism of the human beings. In order to defend themselves from their enemies, the Empire itself has made the military forces known as the Totalitarian Imperial Armed Forces, also called Imperia Forto, Imperia Defendoforto, Imperia Defendo, Imperia Defendoforto, or commonly Defendoforto, comprising of Totalitarian Imperial Army (ground force), Totalitarian Imperial Navy (naval force), and Totalitarian Imperial Airforce. This also adds three paramilitary organizations of the Totalitarian Empire known as the Protekta Skadro, which is used for the internal security within the dictatorial Empire with its armed wing known as the Armita-PS, the Ŝtorma Taĉmento, which is used for protecting various totalitarian political parties and their armed wings from their possible opponents, and the Militadefendoforto, which is politically and fanatically devoted for war and totalitarianism using its military horde in order to deliberately and ferociously defeat their enemies with their zealous war might.

In favor of desiring the creation of authoritarian order via conquering the world and utilizing excessive force and violence to achieve their goals, it is little known about the imperial ideology that visually resembles to that of the Third Reich (or the Fourth Reich just in case) in their military uniforms and flags, but it may become safely assumed that they possibly seek to overthrow the governments and movements of the separatists/secessionists (plus nationalists), anarchists, rebels, and other world organizations, including the tyrannically similar ones that are related to those, get rid off the political corruption, dominate the hemisphere, and establish their own realm, entirely representing a totalitarian state (or in this case, an authoritarian, dictatorial or autocratic one) under the iron fist of their ruthless dictator, as an authoritarian and militaristic political power that achieves a new world order.

History
Many years ago in Animatopia, humanity has embraced the entire exoplanet, and they were once friends to each other in peace. However, after a somewhat united humanity expanded across Animatopia, the ideologies between those who live in peaceful liberty and those who desire to conquer have just begun to drift themselves apart, blaming on their opponents for terrorism, separatism/secessionism, nationalism, anarchism, rebellion, internationalism, and even globalism. For people who are devoted to oppressively seek world domination by establishing their authoritarian/totalitarian state, similar to the Nazis, they formed under the devout leadership of their dictator, and arisen a new imperial regime, which became known as the Totalitarian Empire, to challenge the opposing factions of both Earth and Animatopia, such as the DoA, Josei Guntai, the Stick Figuroids, the ESU, the CCS, the IMC, the Militant Insurgents, the Mutant Horde, the Oarcks, the SDA, the FAF, and Kemonomimi, leading in the said forces to surprisingly and ultimately declare war on Totalitarian Imperialists themselves alongside the other conquerable factions like the Interdimensional Empire, who are diplomatically allied with, the Dominators, the Horroroids, the Alien Empire, the FHC, the CotU, the Dark Elfaenia, and of course Yami Musume.

Strategy
The Totalitarian Empire is the most diversified but aggressively and dreadfully brutal steamroller-type faction, in terms of units and defenses, with a single common goal: to overthrow the separatists/secessionists, anarchists, rebels, and other world governments on Earth, including those in Animatopia, and simply achieve world domination by freeing from political corruption, establishing an authoritarian state under the dictatorial iron fist, and assuming a position as a dominant political power themselves. In opposition to the versatile armies fielded by some factions, every unit has a specific role on the battlefield. The majority of the units of the Totalitarian imperial military are usually more expensive or available later on. However, they are much better at fulfilling their roles than their opposite counterparts.

Tactics
With a variety of units available right from the start, there are many ways to play as the Totalitarian Empire. Like many factions that emphasize brute force, the Totalitarian Empire depends on heavy firepower and is more oriented on defense. Though at the start of battle, the Totalitarian Empire is not as fast as the highly mobile factions, in later parts of the battle, they can field many light, medium, heavy, and super-heavy vehicles, aircraft, and vessels.

Sub-factions
The Totalitarian Empire has only two sub-factions: the branch of the elite Protekta Skadro, and the devotedly ferocious Militadefendoforto.

Armita-PS
The Armita-PS utilizes the elite military tactics and massive numbers.

Militadefendoforto (Kriegswehrmacht/War Defense Force)
Devoted to the cause of zealous totalitarianism (or in this case authoritarianism), the Militadefendoforto is allowed to have Horde Bonus by default in order for nearby friendly units to become even stronger, and reliable on brute force alone.

Trivia

 * The inspiration of the Totalitarian Empire, together with its ideology, is based on the Nazi Germany, the German Empire, West and East Germany, Fascist italy, the Italian Social Republic, the Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40k, Shadaloo from the Street Fighter series, the Galactic Empire and the First Order from Star Wars, the Rebel Army from the Metal Slug series, and the Principality of Zeon from the Gundam franchise.
 * Its military forces, under the title of Totalisma Imperia Armetrupoj (Latin: Absoluto Militum Imperatoria, Totalitarian Imperial Armed Forces), also called Imperia Forto (Latin: Imperium Copiis, Imperial Force), Imperia Defendoforto (Latin: Imperium Defensionis Copiis, Imperial Defense Force), Imperia Defendo (Latin: Imperium Defensionis, Imperial Defense), Imperia Defendoforto (Latin: Imperium Defensionis Copiis, Imperial Defense Force), or commonly Defendoforto (Latin: Defensionis Copiis, Defense Force), are based on Wehrmacht, a unified military of the Nazi Germany. To be clear, the Totalisma Imperia Armeo (Latin: Absoluto Exercitu Imperatoria, Totalitarian Imperial Army), Totalisma Imperia Mararmeo (Latin: Absoluto Classe Imperialis, Totalitarian Imperial Navy) and Totalisma Imperia Aerrmamon (Latin: Absoluto Aeris Vis Imperialis, Totalitarian Imperial Air Force) are all based on Heer (German Army), Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe respectively.
 * The Paraŝutistoj and the Speciala Glavo Bataliono (Abbreviation: SGB, Latin: Specialis Gladius Vexillatto, Special Sword Battalion) are also based on the German Fallschirmjäger and the Brandenburgers, respectively.
 * Its major paramilitary agencies known as the Protekta Skadro (Latin: Praesidium Turmae, Protection Squadron) and the Ŝtorma Taĉmento (Latin: Tempestas Praesidium, Storm Detachment) are respectively based on the Schutzstaffel and the Sturmabteilung. Both of these are the paramilitary groups of the Nazi Germany. Armita-PS (Latin: Telum PT, Armed PS) is also based on Waffen-SS, and the Militadefendoforto is a combination of both the Wehrmacht and the late-war Waffen-SS.
 * The Totalitarian Imperial Armed Forces' official military emblem known as the Trinkejokruco (Balkenkreuzchen) is inspired by a fusion between Balkenkreuz, the emblem of the Wehrmacht, and Hakenkreuz, the Nazi Swastika and the official emblem of the Nazi Party and later Nazi Germany.
 * The Totalitarian Empire's gameplay is inspired by the Wehrmacht from the Company of Heroes series, Germany from Axis & Allies, the Soviets from the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series, China from Command & Conquer: Generals, Russia from the Rise of the Reds mod, the Imperial Guard from the Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War series, and the Galactic Empire from the Star Wars RTS titles.
 * Along with the Balkenkreuz-influenced plus sign and the Trinkejokruco (Balkenkreuzchen), which is rotated in 45 degrees from the Balkenkreuz to look like the Hakenkreuz, their factional emblem, the Eye of Providence, is a reference to the New World Order in conspiracy theory, most especially and notably the secret society known as the Illuminati.
 * As a basis for this faction, the uniforms for the military personnel of the Totalisma Imperia Armetrupoj are influentially modeled after those of the National People's Army, a military force of East Germany that has been lasted from 1949 to 1990, the year where the Berlin Wall had been demolished and unified the 2 separated territories into one sovereign state known as Germany today, mixed with the iconographic features of the Wehrmacht, the national armed forces of the Nazi Germany that had been existed from its foundation in 1935 until their defeat in 1945 during the final stages of World War II, including the paramilitary Schutzstaffel and even Sturmabteilung. So these will make them resembled to the Wehrmacht personnel.
 * The East German M1956 Stahlhelm is influenced for the military personnel of the Totalitarian Imperial Armed Forces as their standard infantry headgear, influencing the Nazi German prototype M1944/M1945 that had been initially developed by the Institute for Defense Technical Materials Science in Berlin, and intended for the Wehrmacht as seen in the early draft, but not adopted by the Nazis during the final stages of the Second World War, and later used by the East German National People's Army (NPA) during Cold War.
 * The symbolic gesture, ideology, and imagery for this faction have fearfully caused controversies surrounding Nazism, especially the Third (or Fourth) Reich and the Nazi Party, ruled by their ideological dictator known as Adolf Hitler. For those who do not know about this faction's new features, based on the Third Reich, here are the improvements:
 * The controversial display of the Nazi Swastika symbol is entirely prohibited in some countries, especially in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Sweden, Russia, and Brazil. Instead, the alternate flag of the Totalitarian Empire has only 4 kinds of Swastika symbols (the Broken Sun Cross, two Greco-Roman Crosses, and the Aztec Swastika), surrounded by white circles, than the Hakenkreuz itself along with the Eye of Providence, decorated with the plus sign similar to Balkenkreuz at the top and the X-signed Trinkejokruco (Balkenkreuzchen) at the bottom, and the tricolor flag, which is designed after both the flag of the Italian National Fascist Party and the flag colors of the German Empire, including that of the Third German Reich.
 * The Nazi variant of the Roman salute is also banned in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, and displaying this gesture is a serious criminal offense, causing the life sentence within the amount of time in prison, though its variants continue to be used in neo-fascist, neo-Nazi, and Falangist contexts. To avoid controversy surrounding the confusion with the Nazi salute, every member of the Totalitarian Empire performs a new variant of this gesture is called the Totalitarian Salute in which both arms are fully extended, facing forward, with palms down and fingers touching.
 * Another variant, influenced by the Roman salute, can be done by fully extending the forward-facing right arm with a fist. So this is called the Totalitarian Iron Fist gesture.
 * Speaking German in any Nazi matter sounds controversial among the Germanophones after the denazification of both Germany and Austria as a result of WWII. Instead of German for the Nazi-like NWO ideology, Esperanto is used as this faction's official language aside from Latin, used as one of its founding languages.
 * Both "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler", spoken in German, are translated and replaced with "Venko Salutas" ("Victory Hail"), "Venka" ("Victory"), and "Salutas Gvidanto" ("Hail Leader") in Esperanto instead in order to avoid controversy related to the Nazi symbolism.
 * In the emblem design of the Trinkejokruco, parts of the Nazi Swastika are completely removed in favor of the X insignia to look like the Balkenkreuz. This will avoid controversy surrounding Nazism.
