Kraterocracy believes in a system where the expression 'might makes right' is applied to governance. A kraterocratic government would be ruled by the strongest in society, most commonly through physical violence.

Sparta was an ancient Greek polis. As its mythical creator was considered Lycurgus. There was a caste system, divided into three castes: citizens, free people without civil rights, and slaves.

Boys from 7 years old were subjected to physical and military training that was intended to create strong warriors. Weak and disabled children were abandoned in mountains or thrown from rocks. | |||

The Empire from the very beginning has been led by the immortal Emperor, surrounded by a divine cult, whose will is interpreted by the Archlords of Terra.
