Numerous factions are affiliated with the Empire as its [[Chromatic Empire#List of Imperial Estates|Imperial Estates]], which are divided into [[Chromatic Empire#Imperial Subjects|Imperial Subjects]] and [https://chromatic-empire.fandom.com/wiki/Vassal Vassals]. It was originally established by the unification of [[Orange Gang]], [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] and [[The Purple Empire]], which became the first Subjects.

It is also connected to various external groups, such as the [[League of Factions]], by virtue of a [[wikipedia:Personal_union|personal union]] with [[Chromatic Empire#The Chromatic Emperor (Imperial Throne)|Chromatic Emperor]] [[pineApple|pineApple / Timmy II]].  

It is usually represented by the "GChE" template on the canvas. Since its establishment, it has been involved in the [[Place Invasion]], [[Devirgining of Canvas 56a]], [[Opcellogs]] against [[Cell Lattice]], [[Space Collab Incident]], [[Crucible War]], [[Knight War]], and a multitude of smaller events. It has proven itself a capable combatant in wars against [[Legion]], [[Gura's Supermarket]], [[Flandre]] and the [[Femboy Café]]. 

The faction has been described as a [[wikipedia:Constitutional_monarchy|constitutional monarchy]] or [[wikipedia:Constitutional_monarchy#Executive_monarchy_versus_ceremonial_monarchy|semi-constitutional command monarchy]] under a [[wikipedia:Real_union|real union]], with a complex [[Chromatic Empire#Structure|structure]] and [[Chromatic Empire#Faction governance|system of governance]] that has changed over time. It exerts influence over a large part of the Pxls.space community, and has been described as a ''[[wikipedia:Hegemony|hegemon]]''. It has been consistently viewed as one of the most powerful factions on Pxls since its establishment, with the term ''[[Pax Chromatica]]'' reflecting its central, stabilizing role in the community.

Concepts relating to the Chromatic Empire are said to be '''Chromatic''' '''Imperial''' or simply '''Imperial'''.

==Background==
''Main articles: [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]], [[The Purple Empire]], [[Orange Gang]]''

===Color- and background-themed factions on Pxls.space===
By early 2022, a niche had developed on Pxls.space wherein several [[factions]] associated with a particular color of the [[Pxls palette]] existed. None were considered "major factions," and in fact they were treated with scorn by Pxls veterans or [[Pxls staff|staff]] members, who thought them little better than [[Void (general)|voids]]. 

The [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] (NBGM), led by [[pineApple]], had originally been established on [[Canvas 25]], earning numerous enemies, before going inactive on [[Canvas 27]]. It remained inactive until its revival on [[Canvas 42]] by pineApple and [[ioanBG]]. However, it did not truly grow until the [[Nuke of 2ch (Canvas 47)|Nuke of 2ch]] on [[Canvas 47]] allowed pineApple to shift his focus away from governing the [[League of Factions]] to developing the NBGM. Under pineApple's rule, it presided over multiple wars that increased its public profile, such as the [[sieges of Trollge]], [[NBGM–Anime conflict]], [[invasion of COUP castle]], and most prominently its war against [[Legion]] for control of the [[Legion's Arena#Canvas 49|C49 Arena]]. The Grand Monarchy of [[Canvas 55]] was the most powerful color-themed faction on the site due to its accrual of [https://chromatic-empire.fandom.com/wiki/Vassal vassals] and allies, as well as the decline and collapse of [[Pink Gang]]. It was heavily involved in the politics of the site, facilitating the destruction of the [[Confederacy of United Pxls]], and promoting the concept of of a solid-color background faction where it could.

[[The Purple Empire]] (TPE) was established by [[Temriel]] on [[Canvas 51]]. Its "imperial" name was due to its status as a successor faction of an earlier group, [[The Blue Empire]] (TBE), which operated sporadically from [[Canvas 28]] to [[Canvas 37]]. From [[Canvas 51]] onward, it began to adopt characteristics that mirrored those within the NBGM. At first TPE's mimicry was viewed with suspicion, but this gave way to cooperation and an alliance on Canvas 51. TPE remained involved with the Pxls community, avoiding controversy and growing its influence where it could, but it failed to attain decisive victories during the [[Komi-san War]] and [[ImperialGuardism|Wars of ImperialGuard]]. Eventually, pineApple made the decision to cooperate against [[Cell Lattice]] during the [[Cell War]] of [[Canvas 54]]. This brought the two most prominent color-themed factions into lockstep at the start of Canvas 55.

[[Orange Gang]] (OG) was established on [[Canvas 45a]], a [[Gimmick canvas|gimmick]] [[-snip- canvas]], by members of [[YOIB]]. It went inactive at the end of the gimmick canvas was but was later revived on Canvas 51 by [[Universe]] and [[Monster_Chicken]]. 

== History==

===Canvas 55===
The Chromatic Empire was formed on this canvas through the Chromatic Pact. Other than being set up, not much else was done, other than the formation of a combined template. A few days after the foundation of the Chromatic Empire, [[H2O Lattice]] was invited to join. The Empire eventually came to be composed of multiple factions, known as Imperial Subjects. They are:  

*[[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] ([[Canvas 55|Founding Faction]])
*[[The Purple Empire]] ([[Canvas 55|Founding Faction]])
*[[Orange Gang]] ([[Canvas 55|Founding Faction]])
* [[Green Gang]] (from [[Canvas 56]])
*[[Teal Kingdom]] (from [[Canvas 58]])
*[[Elemental Confederation]] (from [[Canvas 64]])
The Chromatic Empire also inherited the many principalities and vassals of the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] at the time of its foundation: the [[Bahamaland|Principality of Bahamaland]], [[Imperium|Principality of Imperium]], [[Nonexistent Canvas|Principality of Nonexistent Canvas]], [[Bulgaria Pxls|Principality of Bulgaria Pxls]], the [[Anti-Amogus|Free Military Forces of Anti-Amogus]] (later reconstituted as the [[Magenta Free States]] and finally as the [[Lesser Kingdom of Magenta]]). However, other factions were later raised to the status of Chromatic Imperial vassals: the [[Big Trans Flags|Principality of Big Trans Flags]], [[Candies n' Curses n' Pxls]], the [[Character Pxls|Principality of Character Pxls]], [[Watermelon Syndicate]], [[Metallic Monarchy]], the [[MikuAM|Miku Monarchy]], [[High Church of Luigi]], [[H2O Lattice|H2O Fan Club]], [[The Mothia]], [[Avazarus' Video Gaming|Video Game Artists]], [[Knights of the Blue Corner]], [[Archduchy of Bells]], [[Touhou Project Pxls|Eientei Province]], [[PokePxls]], [[Roger's]], [[The Official Pxls Music Faction]], the [[Principality of Aqua]], the [[Principality of Water]], and the [[Principality of Pizza]].

===Canvas 56===
This was the first canvas where the Chromatic Empire participated in it's entirety. It began with a large 86k sized template, which included art from the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]], [[The Purple Empire]], [[Orange Gang]] and [[H2O Lattice]]. 

During this canvas, both [[Green Gang]] and [[When the Red the Red]] applied to join the Empire. The Council of Representatives voted on if they were to be granted membership, and both were accepted. However, the condition for When the Red the Red to join was to change their name to something more professional, which DrinkMicrowaves (their leader) refused. This lead to only Green Gang joining the Chromatic Empire, due to WTRTR not being granted access to the Empire by the Council.

====Canvas 56a====
During this gimmick canvas, the colour palette was restricted to only basic Gameboy ones. This meant that all plans for the Empire needed to be revised quickly as to be able to make art with only 4 colours. This lead to the creation of a "Buddy Lattice". 

The faction also participated in the "de-virgining" of the entire canvas, where every single pixel on the canvas was placed on, being only the second canvas to do so (and it by far being the largest).

===Canvas 57 ===
For this canvas, the Chromatic Empire went almost unreasonably big, starting out with a 144k template, bigger then their starting temp on c56 by 59k. However, it seems to turn out beneficial for the faction, as they encountered little to no resistance claiming the area they desired.

In the middle of the canvas, [[iButter]], leader of H2O Lattice, had lost interest in pxls, and this meant that the faction had largely lost all of it's power. By vote of the council, the faction left the Empire on the 15th of May, 2022. With another vote of the council, the area was replaced with a dark teal background, which would later be expanded upon when the overall template would be finished.

===Canvas 58===
During this canvas, the Chromatic Empire exercised a strategy of having a central art piece, with a size of around 70k pixels, placed somewhere on the canvas, and then having it's four member factions be spread out over the rest of canvas. [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy|NBGM]] started out above the main Chromatic art, and next to [[Video Game Village]], a massive collab of several factions. [[The Purple Empire|TPE]] started near the center of the canvas, next to [[Cell Lattice]], [[Pride Faction]], [[Legion VOL "Apollo Gloria"|Legion]], and [[Pixelstuck]]. [[Orange Gang|OG]] started at the top right of the canvas, also next to [[Pride Faction]]. [[Green Gang|GG]] started at the bottom left of the right-most cloud. 

A little over 2 and a half weeks into the canvas, "FUCKTHISWEBSITE" or "FTW", a griefer of the Chromatic Empire, and several of her Imperial Subject factions, was permanently banned due to alt-accounting. This sparked huge arguments in chat over if the ban was fair, and that he should be unbanned. This later lead to a Chromatic Imperial raid on the artwork of FTW's allies, the [[Sigma Confederacy]], in the so called [[Pepe Raid]]. In this, a [[Bahamaland|Bahamian]] "buddy" was built over their art in little under an hour, with support from the Chromatic Imperial Armed Forces, [[The Purple Empire|Purple Imperial]] Defense Forces, [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy|Navy Blue]] Monarchical Militia Forces, and several volunteers from outside sources. At the time, over 1300px/hr were being placed on the raid buddy, totaling a little under half of all pixels placed during that time (around a total of 2900px/hr). 

Around 6 days later, at exactly 2pm EST on June 25th, the invasion was launched. The operation made a lot of progress in short time, because in just 6 hours almost one third of the template, or around 10,000 pixels, was completed. Codenamed Operation Cellprog, or the [[Opcellog]], this was the invasion of [[Cell Lattice]] after they failed to uphold the peace treaty of the previous [[Cell War (C54)|Cell War]] on [[Canvas 54]] (launched by the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]], [[The Purple Empire]], and many other factions). The peace conditions that were negotiated during the later stages of the [[Opcellog]] resulted in GreenCatKid (Somekid on canvas) leaving [[Cell Lattice]], and his leadership position being filled by [[ioanBG]] and [[pineApple]] (Liam on discord), with [[ioanBG]] becoming the faction's effective leader on Pxls, as he had some experience by being admin there before. 

Since [[Canvas 57]] the Chromatic Empire has used a megatemplate, by combining all Imperial Subject templates into one, called the Greater Chromatic Empire ('''GChE'''), called so due to it being used for tracking purposes in the [https://github.com/GrayTurtles/Clueless Clueless] template progress tracker, and to gauge the total placed pixels by the Chromatic Empire. This template was updated manually by Chancellor [[Temriel]] at almost every template update to any of the Imperial Subject's templates, and at the end of the canvas around 313k pixels had been placed on this template. This marks the biggest the Chromatic Empire has been, even though this was her third canvas. 

===Canvas 59===
On this canvas, the Chromatic Empire exercised a strategy much like it did on [[Canvas 56]], where all Imperial territory was combined into a single unified template, and with a lattice consisting of all her Imperial Subjects' colours. 

[[The Purple Empire]] organized its closest allies into principalities on this canvas: [[Big Trans Flags]] and [[Candies n' Curses n' Pixels]]. Both factions were taken under the umbrella of Chromatic Imperial Principalities. [[Character Pxls]], a faction closely tied to [[Teal Kingdom]], and the [[Watermelon Syndicate]] were also raised as principalities of the Chromatic Empire on Canvas 59. Finally, the Empire formed an official alliance with [[MPSZ]] during the later stages of C59. 

On the second of August, with less than 24 hours until reset, [[pineApple]] and [[ioanBG]] were unexpectedly removed from power within [[Cell Lattice]]'s Discord server by [[Nudl]], who still owned the server. He had spoken with [[GreenCatKid]] about restoring them to power in [[Cell Lattice|Cells]], and to have them lead the faction once again to greatness. This was in knowing violation of the peace terms of the Opcellog. Nudl's actions proved to be a fatal mistake for Cell Lattice, as less than 3 hours later, at 7pm GMT, the [[Second Opcellog]] was launched by the Chromatic Empire. In less than 12 hours, the 10.5k template placed over [[Cell Lattice]] was completed. All Cell artwork made by the faction thereafter was made on other r/place clones.

===Canvas 60 ===
The idea for this canvas's Chromatic Imperial template was conceived two months in advance, in June of 2022. The concept was that all Chromatic Imperial Subjects would focus primarily on placing their respective backgrounds, with almost no art being made - it was dubbed a ''background canvas''. This concept was designated for use on [[Canvas 60]] since the Minister of Art, [[Orange Gang|Monster_Chicken]], thought it would be nice to have it on such an even-numbered canvas. The [[Chromatic Empire#Council of Representatives|Council of Representatives]] decided that the Chromatic Empire should begin in the centre of the canvas, and expand outwards from there. 

Once reset finally occurred, the Chromatic Empire was continually griefed by users who were upset over the destruction of [[Cell Lattice]] in the [[Second Opcellog]]. This abated after around a week. 

An unfortunate fact of Canvas 60 was that it was naturally purple. This meant that [[The Purple Empire]] had to quickly rethink on what they could do, as making a purple background on a purple canvas was simply not an option. Then a radical alternative was proposed, where the faction would, for this canvas only, make a mauve background instead. This was accepted by Chancellor [[Temriel]], who also led The Purple Empire, and the faction started building a mauve background for this canvas. From this whole ordeal, an inside joke spawned from within [[The Purple Empire|TPE]], where the faction would, for this canvas, rename itself to "[[The Empire of Mauve]]", or "TEM" for short. This was a spin on Temriel's username, and was gladly accepted by him for the duration of the canvas. 

The Empire began in the centre of the canvas, and quickly expanded herself, as within a few days of the initial template being posted, new member-specific ones would be made as the main ChE one was completed. This would also lead to the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] abandoning the initial idea of no artwork, as an empty space with no arts was both controversial and would attract newer users to place artwork over the background, thinking that it wasn't occupied. TPE would also later use this strategy to claim areas it was expanding in, as to hopefully discourage newer users from making artwork there. 

The NBGM conducted a raid on [[The Flood]] during Canvas 60, hastening the process of its ultimate downfall. 

The Twitch streamer [[KingSammelot]] joined Pxls.space on this canvas. An unofficial alliance between the Chromatic Empire and his community was established by [[pineApple]]. 

[[Mechanical Pxls]] went through a complete rebrand on [[Canvas 60]], becoming known as the [[Metallic Monarchy]]. It became a [https://chromatic-empire.fandom.com/wiki/Vassal vassal] of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy and Chromatic Empire. It was promptly added to the GChE template and taken under Imperial protection. 

The [https://chromatic-empire.fandom.com/wiki/Imperial_Reform Imperial Reform] program was started on Canvas 60 (largely in response to criticism of the "background canvas" concept), and would remain in development until its release on [[Canvas 61]].  

The final size of the GChE template on Canvas 60 was an astonishing 439.7k pixels, increasing more than 100k from [[Canvas 59]], and occupying about 17.6% of the canvas. 

====Canvas 60a====
During this short [[-snip- mode]] canvas, the Empire started small in the right-most bottom corner of the corner with an art made by [[Temriel]], representing the Empire via various bits of meaningful symbolism. This would later get expanded upon with a grubby-balloon and a purple/green flower added elsewhere on the canvas.

During this canvas, the Empire was in the [[Crucible War]] against [[Gura's Supermarket]], agreed upon during the last days of [[Canvas 60]] between [[Temriel]] and [[gaudi999]], with the original idea coming from [[Qeao]] ([[Ryeam]] on canvas). The first faction to take a move was [[Gura's Supermarket]], attacking the Balloon Buddy by replacing it with a "Golden Gura" and replacing the balloons from Chromatic Imperial themed ones to golden shaded ones. The "Golden gura", as it's called, would be the highest rank GSm would ever make in their automatic ranking system (though not yet fully realized). The reason for raiding ChE with it was a reference to [[Temriel]] talking about how he would "one day" get the rank. Obviously this was never going to happen, since the vast majority of "OPs" that Temriel had was from chatting, and considering the fact that he never placed for GSm at all, except in very special circumstances. The Empire counterattacked, giving a devastating blow to GSm by placing down a huge "Gun Grubby" (artwork of the [[Buddy#Variants|Grubby]] holding a gun) over GSm. [[x190]] members supplied the art of a small "kotana potato", which would successfully be built alongside the Gun Grubby. 

This war was considered fun at the start, however it would later lead to [[Legion VOL "Apollo Gloria"|Legion]] and the [[Femboy Café]] getting involved on the side of [[Gura's Supermarket|GSm]], a very controversial move, as seen from the eyes of the Empire. With the advent of Legion involvement in the war, the Empire would initially lose small parts of her artwork, but quickly regain it after only a few hours. Another attack by Legion around 12 hours later managed to cover the Imperial core with an art of Dr. Livesey, but the occupation was short-lived; an Imperial counterattack retook the core a few hours later. Though successful in driving Legion away a second time, the Chromatic Empire was distracted enough to allow Gura's Supermarket to destroy the Gun Grubby and Konata Potato template over their own core. This meant that both sides had been driven off the other's core (though the Chromatic Empire's occupation of the GSm core lasted much longer than the Legion occupation of ChE).

With both occupations ended, the ''status quo ante bellum'' was restored. Gaudi quickly negotiated an end to GSm involvement in the war with Temriel. 

Though the GSm-ChE war was over, Legion continued to be an active belligerent, making a third attack on the Imperial core. ChE commenced a counterattack, and midway through it Snegovich agreed to peace terms put forward by pineApple. This solidified the ''status quo'' that existed before the war, and permanently ended hostilities for the parties involved. 

The Empire then placed down a deep-gray coloured background on canvas, connecting the "Balloon Grubby" and the core. GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 25.4k, which was about 10% of the canvas.

The [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] collaborated with the [[Principality of Imperium]] with a template in the top left of the canvas. [[Ego|Egos]] for [[pineApple]], [[ioanBG]], [[IronHebo]], and WoKeN were also built.

[[The Purple Empire]] created a template in the top middle of the canvas. The [[Elemental Confederation]] created a template (structurally a collab between the [[Metallic Monarchy]] and [[Aquatic Monarchy]]) in the top left corner of the canvas.

[[Orange Gang]] and [[Green Gang]] collaborated with a template called "[[Gang Gang]]" wedged between the Elemental Confederation and [[Principality of Video Game Artists]].

It also contained a collab between the [[Principality of FURU Pxls|Principalities of FURU Pxls]] and [[Principality of Shoryuken|Shoryuken]], as well as [[Ego|egos]] for [[pineApple]], Sohiimfine, weird_kit, [[IronHebo]], and others (who I can't identify). The Greater Chromatic Empire template, including vassals and some allies, contained art by the [[Miku Monarchy]], [[Lesser Kingdom of Magenta]], [[High Church of Luigi]], [[Knightly Helpers]], [[Principality of Beansland]], [[Principality of Video Game Artists]], [[Eientei Province]], [[Candies n' Curses n' Pxls]], [[Freestyle Pxls]], [[Skill Issue]], [[Lunes]] and [[Schizophrenia]]. The [[Principality of Bahamaland]], [[Principality of Nonexistent Canvas]], [[Principality of Aqua]] and [[Lesser Kingdom of Crimson]] were represented in pineApple's ego.

The Chromatic Empire participated in CDawgVA's Pxls.space clone, building their own art and participating in the defense of [[Schizophrenia]] there. Imperial troops also supported the broader Pxls.space community during [[r/place 2023]].

ChAP assistance operations were launched in support of [[Candies n' Curses n' Pxls]], the [[High Church of Luigi]], and [[Pebble]]'s solo art. The Empire remained neutral in the [[Creeper War]] and the griefing against [[Margraviate of Solvernia|Solvernia]].

Several [[factions]] were raised to the status of Imperial [https://chromatic-empire.fandom.com/wiki/Vassal vassal] on Canvas 71; the [[Principality of Toon Pxls]], the [[Principality of Beansland]] (through [[NBGM]]), and the [[HoYoverse Arts Society]].
