The Chromatic Empire (ChE) is a suprafaction centered around color-themed artwork, lattices, and backgrounds. Concepts relating to the Chromatic Empire are said to be Chromatic Imperial or simply Imperial.

Numerous factions are affiliated with the Empire as its Imperial Estates, which are divided into Imperial Subjects and Vassals. It was originally established by the unification of Orange Gang, Navy Blue Grand Monarchy and The Purple Empire, which became the first Subjects. Later, H2O Lattice, Green Gang, Teal Kingdom and the Elemental Confederation of Aquatica-Metallica became Subjects.

It is usually represented by the "GChE" template on the canvas. The Imperial core often features a color-themed art, custom background or lattice, and occasionally egos.

Since its establishment, the Empire 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 constitutional monarchy or semi-constitutional command monarchy under a real union, with a complex structure and system of governance that has evolved over time. It has been described as one of the most powerful current factions or even a hegemon due to its extensive influence on the Pxls community; the term Pax Chromatica reflects its central, stabilizing role in the community.

The Empire has a fluctuating set of allies that number roughly 20 factions in total. It is also connected to various external groups, such as the League of Factions.

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 staff members, who thought them little better than 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 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 C49 Arena. The Grand Monarchy of Canvas 55 was the most powerful color-themed faction on the site due to its accrual of 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 its successor, 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 Wars of ImperialGuard. Eventually, pineApple made the decision to pursue détente with TPE and collaborate. For example, cooperating 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 -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

The historical Imperial Subjects of the Chromatic Empire. Sorted alphabetically and by "wave" of accession; founding Subjects can be found in the upper row, and later additions on the lower. Upper: the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, Orange Gang, and Purple Empire. Lower: the Elemental Confederation, Green Gang, and Teal Kingdom.

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 (Founding Faction)
• The Purple Empire (Founding Faction until Canvas 80)
• Orange Gang (Founding Faction until Canvas 80)
• 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 Principality of Bahamaland, Principality of Imperium, Principality of Nonexistent Canvas, Principality of Bulgaria Pxls, the 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 Principality of Big Trans Flags, Candies n' Curses n' Pxls, the Principality of Character Pxls, Watermelon Syndicate, Metallic Monarchy the Miku Monarchy, High Church of Luigi, H2O Fan Club, The Mothia, Video Game Artists, Knights of the Blue Corner, Archduchy of Bells, 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 its 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 its 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 its four member factions be spread out over the rest of canvas. NBGM started out above the main Chromatic art, and next to Video Game Village, a massive collab of several factions. TPE started near the center of the canvas, next to Cell Lattice, Pride Faction, Legion, and Pixelstuck. OG started at the top right of the canvas, also next to Pride Faction. 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 Bahamian "buddy" was built over their art in little under an hour, with support from the Chromatic Imperial Armed Forces, Purple Imperial Defense Forces, 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).

The First Opcellog, then known simply as the Opcellog, was a devastating Imperial attack on Cell Lattice.

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 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 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 and others about restoring them to power in 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, and "Condition B" went into effect.

During the canvas, the Chromatic Empire and her Imperial Subjects and principalities all posted their invite adverts after each other in the #factions channel in the main pxls.space Discord, which lead to 11 invites being posted in the channel, with 10 being posted in a row, and one was posted later.

This eventually led to several complaining to the Pxls staff if this should be allowed, and then eventually leading to the moderators asking all invite posters to change their image used, as they all used the same Chromatic Imperial one. The ChE members eventually conceded, and edited all their faction post images to become, in essence, shitposts. The Pxls staff were fine with this, and all invites were allowed to be kept up.

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, Monster_Chicken, thought it would be nice to have it on such an even-numbered canvas. The 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 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 relinquished its ties to Cell Lattice and became a vassal of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy and Chromatic Empire. It was promptly added to the GChE template and taken under Imperial protection.

The 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 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 and the Femboy Café getting involved on the side of 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.

Canvas 61

In the beginnings of the canvas, the Empire experienced a rushed reset which lead to the initial not being done when it actually arrived. Many were also shocked at the small size of the canvas, as it was a full 700k pixels smaller than Canvas 60.

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 236.5k, which was about 13.8% of the canvas.

Canvas 67a

The Chromatic Empire would prove itself capable once again, placing down several of the largest artworks on canvas while gaining direct support from its vassals as a centralizing measure.

Canvas 68

This was the most recent "separated canvas" of the Chromatic Empire, meaning a canvas without a central Imperial core.

The Navy Blue Grand Monarchy collaborated with the Principality of Imperium with a template in the top left of the canvas. 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.

Teal Kingdom rested.

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 415k, which was about 23.3% of the canvas.

Canvas 69

Canvas 69 was a "parasite canvas" in which the Chromatic Assistance Program (ChAP) played a major part. The Chromatic Empire helped Schizophrenia, the GDPlace-Osu! collab, Red Panda, Mob and Dimple, the Principality of Avalonia, Jen's Nyami artwork, Legion, the "Unpleasant Gradient," and the Miku Monarchy-Lunes collab.

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 459.2k, which was about 26.1% of the canvas.

Canvas 70

Canvas 70 saw the creation of an Imperial core designed by Layla and a background designed by Temriel. It also contained a collab between the Principalities of FURU Pxls and Shoryuken, as well as 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 Solvernia.

Several factions were raised to the status of Imperial vassal on Canvas 71; the Principality of Toon Pxls, the Principality of Beansland (through NBGM), and the HoYoverse Arts Society.

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 436.3k, which was about 28% of the canvas.

Canvas 71

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 608.3k, which was about 34% of the canvas.

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 805.2k, which was about 40% of the canvas.

Canvas 75

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 899.4k, which was about 40% of the canvas. This is the largest GChE template to date in pure size, meanwhile Canvas 65 still has the largest total percentile coverage.

Canvas 76

GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 845.9k, which was about 41.8% of the canvas.

Canvas 77

The Empire started its "Project CCC" program on this canvas, focusing on single-color themes for each canvas. Canvas 77 was a purple themed canvas. GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was at around 845.7k, which was about 40.2% of the canvas.

Canvas 78

Continuing with Project CCC, the Empire had a blue themed project for Canvas 78. GChE's final size at the end of this canvas was around 847.4k, which around 40.7% of the canvas.

Canvas 79

The Empire's project for Canvas 79 was a collab with Gura's Supermarket that had a red theme, thus continuing the Project CCC program. GChE's final size at the end of the canvas was 854k, which amounted to around 40.3% of the canvas.

Canvas 80

Creating an orange themed core, the Empire again continued with Project CCC on Canvas 80. However, its core art was covered without resistance early in the canvas. This, combined with the unusual canvas shape and withdrawal of FURU Pxls from GChE, meant the Empire's final template at the end of the canvas was only 437.9k, or about 20.5% of the canvas. The absence of an Imperial core also led some to conclude that the Chromatic Empire had been disbanded, though this was later disproven by the return of ChE on Canvas 81. The Purple Empire and Orange Gang would officially leave the Empire this canvas, meaning that it had no Chancellor due to Temriel leaving for a short while.

Canvas 81

Pausing its involvement in Project CCC, the Empire created a tapestry featuring a Medieval knight and coat of arms on Canvas 81. This art was comparatively small in relation to past cores.

ChE also went through a period of restructuring, refilling roles that had been left empty by retirements from Pxls or the Empire itself. Among these were the appointment of Woahdang_Jr as the new Chancellor of the Empire and head of Green Gang, the installation of ToeBeans and Woodsfiield as members of the Imperial Council, and the installation of Stonks620 as a Council member for the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy.

Great Offices

The highest roles in the Chromatic Empire are known as the Great Offices of State.

The Chromatic Emperor (Imperial Throne)

The current Emperor of the Chromatic Empire is Timmy II of the Bahamian House of Cromburg. The Emperor serves as the highest-ranking diplomat of the ChE and retains the power to open polls for the Council of Representatives. However, the Emperor is not typically permitted to vote in polls (except when breaking ties). The Emperor can also remove Representatives in the event of special circumstances like abuse of power.

The Chancellor

The current Chancellor of the Chromatic Empire is Woahdang_Jr, a prince of House Cromburg and Lord of Serpent Hall. The Chancellor serves as head of the Council of Representatives and manages internal policy. The Chancellor also serves as the secondary political leader of the Empire, and can vote in polls. If the Emperor is not available, the Chancellor can if needed use the powers of the Emperors position to discuss certain things that may occur.

The Estates-General

Council of Representatives

The representative body of the Chromatic Empire. It is invested with the authority to propose, vote on, and ratify Imperial policies. For example, it has traditionally approved or rejected inter-faction collabs involving the Chromatic Empire, as well as Imperial art assistance, reforms, regulatory changes and promotions.

Military

The military strength of the Chromatic Empire is derived from its Imperial Subjects, Vassals, and Allies. It is organized under the central command of the Chromatic Imperial Armed Forces, but localized operations can also be carried out by the Regional Army of an Imperial Subject.

Army of the Imperial Estates

The Army of the Imperial Estates is one of the military forces of the Chromatic Empire, drawn from the Imperial Estates as a whole. It can be contrasted with the Imperial Army, which draws exclusively from the Chromatic Imperial Discord and users associated specifically with the Empire, rather than its various constituencies. It has been deployed on numerous military campaigns on behalf of the Chromatic Empire since Canvas 58.

Imperial Armed Forces

The Imperial Armed Forces, also simply called the Imperial Army, serves as the unified military force of the Chromatic Empire. It is governed by the Ministry of Defense and directed by high-ranking officers and members of the Council of Representatives.

Imperial Overlord

An Imperial Overlord, or simply an Overlord, is a faction that has vassals. The term is most commonly used to refer to the Chromatic Empire as a whole, which has a large number of vassals, though some of the Empire's Imperial Subjects have their own vassals and can thus be classified as Overlords in their own right.

List of Imperial Estates

The Imperial Estates or Imperial States, named after the divisions of the Holy Roman Empire, are Pxls factions that are associated with the Chromatic Empire and receive representation in the Estates-General. There are two distinct types of Imperial Estates; Imperial Subjects and vassals. On the canvas, they collectively make up the territory of the Greater Chromatic Empire (GChE) template, receiving Imperial protection and support. They also provide the Army of the Imperial Estates.

Imperial Subjects

Full-fledged member factions are called "imperial subjects." They maintain membership and an oath of loyalty to the Chromatic Empire.

• Navy Blue Grand Monarchy (Canvas 55) — Ruled and represented by the Grand Monarch of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, Timmy II.
• Green Gang (Canvas 56) — Ruled and represented by the Mint King of the Green Gang, Beanie I.
• Teal Kingdom (Canvas 58) — Ruled and represented by the Queen of the Teal Kingdom, Layla I.
• Elemental Confederation of Aquatica–Metallica (Canvas 64) — Ruled and represented by the Co-Protectors of the Elemental Confederation, Butyron I. H2O Lattice was formerly an Imperial Subject from Canvas 55 to Canvas 57, before being expelled and later reconstituted as a vassal of the Elemental Confederation, the Aquatic Monarchy.

Vassals

These are factions sworn to the Chromatic Empire but not yet large enough to attain the status of an Imperial Subject. They are represented in the Council of Representatives by a full-fledged Imperial Subject, or they are Immediate Vassals.

There are multiple kinds of vassal factions associated with the Chromatic Empire, with the most common by far being principalities. However, lesser kingdoms, unorganized vassals, and unique circumstances also exist. Vassalship is generally described as a form of "limited membership" in the Chromatic Empire. Vassal factions swear oaths of allegiance to the Empire and/or their immediate Overlord faction.

Characteristics

According to the First Imperial Reform, a vassal:

• Should abide by the same vows of allegiance, mutual support, and non-aggression that bind a full Imperial Subject
• Should have a Chromatic Imperial officer, preferably a member of the Council of Representatives, in a position of high access in the [v]assal’s Discord server, for the purposes of monitoring and facilitating cooperation with [the Chromatic Empire].
• Should select its mode of governmental representation:
  • Tied to a greater Imperial Subject faction, and represented in the Council of Representatives by the delegation of that faction (e.g. NBGM or TPE)
  • Tied directly to the Chromatic Empire itself in personal union with a sitting member of the Council of Representatives
• Should select its naming convention:
  • Principality (e.g. Principality of Bahamaland) — Most common, led by a prince
  • Lesser Kingdom (e.g. [Lesser Kingdom of Magenta]) — Reserved for color-specific factions, controlled by lesser monarchs
  • Unique Vassal (e.g. Watermelon Syndicate) — Uses a larp-style name
  • Unorganized Vassal (e.g. [Candies n' Curses n' Pixels]) — Retains previous name
• Should lend the forces and placing power of its Regional Army in support of the Chromatic Empire’s direct operations, but only when explicitly asked to do so
• Should join the Chromatic Empire tag on pxls.space, currently owned by pineApple, and encourage other active members of the [vassal] to do the same
• Should not organize or participate in collab projects without the consent of the Council of Representatives or Chromatic Emperor
• Should not attack or raid artwork without the acknowledgement of the Council of Representatives or Chromatic Emperor

In return, a vassal receives:

• Full defense and protection of the interests of the [v]assal faction by the Chromatic Empire
• Presence on the Greater Chromatic Empire template
• Representation, through a “tied representative”, in the Council of Representatives
• The opportunity to become a fully-fledged Imperial Subject

Imperial Reform

Imperial Reform is a series of wide-reaching overhauls to the Chromatic Pact, authored by Chromatic Emperor Timmy II from the statements of Pxls community members on Canvas 61.

Terms

Part I: Art and Background Policy

• All artwork will be allowed on the official backgrounds of the Chromatic Empire’s Imperial Subjects, within reason. Permission will no longer be required to build on Chromatic Imperial backgrounds. However, the artists will be asked for consent for their art to be placed on the GChE (Greater Chromatic Empire) mega template for tracking and protection purposes.
• Color-themed art shall generally be prioritized over solid background on future canvases, and experimental chromatic lattices will be attempted as well. The concept of a “background canvas,” as on Canvas 60, shall be indefinitely retired.
• It shall be standard procedure for all updates to the Greater Chromatic Empire template and associated artworks to be posted in the #templates channel within one day of their release.
• All official templates of the Chromatic Empire must have a title so they function properly on the Pxls mobile app.
• The Chromatic Imperial centerpiece for an upcoming canvas must be completed prior to the announcement of the canvas reset, to avoid future stressful situations.
• One-pixel borders will be enforced around all artwork placed on Chromatic Imperial backgrounds.

Part II: Diplomatic Policy

• The Chromatic Empire will not intervene in any conflicts on pxls.space that do not involve a faction directly associated with itself, except to disrupt the activities of a group threatening overt and specific action against the Empire.
• The Chromatic Empire will intervene on canvas in any situation where an Imperial Subject, Vassal, or Formal Ally of itself requires protection, except if that faction is an unprovoked aggressor. It will also endeavor to address diplomatic and on-canvas threats in the name of its associated factions, under the umbrella of the Imperial Territorial Agency or other negotiative efforts.
• Prior to intervening in a serious conflict on the canvas, or in the event of a ChE-associated faction pursuing unprovoked aggression towards another faction, a delegation from the Imperial Territorial Agency will first be dispatched for the purposes of fact-finding and mediation. It will serve as a neutral barrier between the two parties and attempt to remove the need for fighting. The only case in which an I.T.A. delegation would not be dispatched to make contact with the involved parties first would be if there was a time sensitive element to the conflict such as an impending canvas reset.
• The Chromatic Empire will intervene diplomatically, but not on-canvas, in the event of a conflict between two formal allies. The exception would be if one of the formal allies was judged to be unfairly abusing its position or not providing beneficial returns worthy of its status.
• The Imperial Territorial Agency shall henceforth have under its direct control — subordinated to the office of the Minister of Diplomacy — a personal border and grief defense unit, which shall be drawn from the Imperial Armed Forces and ChE’s myriad Imperial Subject factions. It shall serve as the first line of defense against petty griefs and enforce the territorial decisions of the Chromatic Empire’s governing apparatus.

Part III: Faction Relationship and Naming Conventions

• The following requirements are hereby enumerated for the creation of an imperial Vassal, also commonly called a Principality:
  • Should abide by the same vows of allegiance, mutual support, and non-aggression that bind a full Imperial Subject.
  • Should have a Chromatic Imperial officer, preferably a member of the Council of Representatives, in a position of high access in the Principality’s Discord server, for the purposes of monitoring and facilitating cooperation with ChE.
  • Should select its mode of governmental representation:
    • Tied to a greater Imperial Subject faction, and represented in the Council of Representatives by the delegation of that faction (e.g. NBGM or TPE)
    • Tied directly to the Chromatic Empire itself in personal union with a sitting member of the Council of Representatives
  • Should select its naming convention:
    • Principality (e.g. Principality of Bahamaland) — Most common
    • Lesser Kingdom (e.g. LKoM) — Reserved for color-specific factions
    • Unique Vassal (e.g. Watermelon Syndicate) — Uses a larp-style name
    • Unorganized Vassal (e.g. Character Pxls) — Retains previous name
  • Should lend the forces and placing power of its Regional Army in support of the Chromatic Empire’s direct operations, but only when explicitly asked to do so.
  • Should join the Chromatic Empire tag on pxls.space, currently owned by pineApple, and encourage other active members of the Principality to do the same.
  • Should not organize or participate in collab projects without the consent of the Council of Representatives or Chromatic Emperor
  • Should not attack or raid artwork without the acknowledgement of the Council of Representatives or Chromatic Emperor
• The following benefits will be bestowed upon an imperial Vassal:
  • Full defense and protection of the interests of the Vassal faction by the Chromatic Empire
  • Presence on the Greater Chromatic Empire template.
  • Representation, through a “tied representative”, in the Council of Representatives.
  • The opportunity to become a fully-fledged Imperial Subject.
• Big Trans Flags shall henceforth be known as the Principality of Big Trans Flags in all official documents and communications.
• Character Pxls shall henceforth be known as the Principality of Character Pxls in all official documents and communications.

Timmy I

Timmy I
Title(s)	Grand Monarch of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy
House	Cromburg
Issue	Timmy II

Timmy I, also dubbed Timmy the Great or Timmy the Loud, was the first Co-Monarch of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, and later its independent Grand Monarch, from Canvas 25 to 27. He conceived of the House of Cromburg and his direct descendant was Timmy II.

In his early years, Timmy was one of the founding members of a militia known as the Faction of the Color Crimson, which came into existence during the Rat Map Siege of Canvas 25. As the Faction grew in size, he menaced numerous groups, presiding over the Siege of the Red Star, raids on Tetris Lattice and The Cozy Vault, along with other activities. However, the Faction was gradually reorganized under a royal government known as the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy. Timmy I ascended to the position of Co-Monarch, and later became the sole Grand Monarch.

Under Timmy's reign, the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy overwhelmingly and decisively defended itself against provocations the Yellow Faction in what came to be known as the Yellow War. It also clashed with Pxls Roads before suffering a small invasion by the Woke Cells. Timmy led the NBGM through a brutal and protracted war known as the War against Hungarian Lattice, which resulted in decidedly negative consequences for his territories.

The ultimate act of his reign was to declare the Great Bear War upon Spurdos and the Casino Wheel - a huge conflict that also drew in the Monarchy's various historic enemies (including Commander Flag Union). After suffering defeat at their hands, Timmy I disappeared, allowing the throne to pass to his son Timmy II.

Biography

Born the heir of the Timmy I (“The Great”) in late Canvas 27, Timmy II was smuggled away until Canvas 34 when his father died. Timmy II succeeded him as occupant of the throne of Bahamaland and Head of the House of Cromburg. Timmy II is renowned for his glorious defeat of the legions of Bahamian enemies, including Proggity Prog OwO, Ireland, Cell Lattice, and others. After heading up the interfactional organization known as the League of Factions for many years, he set his sights upon rebuilding the glory of the old Navy Blue Grand Monarchy in tandem with Marshal ioanBG.

The NBGM soon emerged as the preeminent background faction on pxls.space by Canvas 50. Timmy II drafted numerous conceptual unions with the leaders of his fellow background factions, including the Chromatic Alliance, Treaty of Chromatic Unity, and finally the Chromatic Empire framework that exists to this day. Elected Chromatic Emperor of the newfound polity by the Council of Representatives, Timmy II has presided over the growth and maturation of the Greater Chromatic Empire alongside Chancellor Temriel I and Marshal ioanBG.

He oversaw the Imperial Reform program.

Lord Aleks LXX

Lord Aleks LXX
Title(s)	Lord of the North Cas
House	Aleksovitchy'

Lord Aleks LXX is the current Head of House Aleksovitchy, ruler of the North Cas, and a leader of the foreign nation known as the Trollge Confederacy.

Biography

Lord Aleks LXX was brought into the region in the aftermath of the Troll Face Wars during mid c44, before the time of the Pax Chromatica. He and a group of other raiders became quite notorious during c45, destroying numerous arts.

Afterwards, the group became more organized and Aleks emerged as leader, with few others such as Tropane and Snessy also conducting leadership and diplomacy. It was because of the decentralized leadership and connection to the old Trollface Coalition that they decided to call themselves the Trollge Confederacy, which would conduct many raids and wars over its lifespan as an effective colonial empire at times.

A veteran of the First and Second Sieges of Trollge, 2ch War (c46) and the Trollge Confederacy-Left Pxls War (c47), and many other smaller conflicts, Aleks was a known enemy of the League of Factions.

An informal alliance between the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy and Trollge Confederacy would be formed amidst the fire and fury of the Cell War (c54), and was extended to the Chromatic Empire when it was created.

Staying in the Empire initially as a diplomat, Aleks made multiple attempts to marry off his daughters to Chromatic Imperial nobility in one of the first acts of larping to secure a alliance through marriage. He eventually succeeded in becoming an unlanded Lord, not tied to any particular Imperial Subject. He was forbidden from membership of the Council of Representatives on these grounds, and in retaliation he briefly attempted to create a republican government of the people during the Chromatic Republic Incident. This earned the attention of the NSIA.

To maintain stability, Timmy II offered Aleks an Imperial Fief of the Chromatic Empire: the North Cas. Aleks accepted, becoming a landed noble with a demihouse but remaining outside the Council of Representatives.

History

The Deltearian House was founded by Temriel I at the birth of his first faction, The Blue Empire, back on canvas 28. After the formal dissolution of the faction on the same canvas, and un-official revivals on c30, c30a, and c37, the House had lost all it's titles, and would not regain them for some time.

A little under 1 year and 5 months later on canvas 51, The Purple Empire was founded. This was the first title the House of Deltearia had held since c37, and it would greatly increase the power the House had.

The North Cas is an Imperial Fief of the Chromatic Empire, currently held by the demihouse Aleksovitchy.

It is the smallest fiefdom as part of the Greater Cas, which is currently held directly by Imperial rule.

History

The North Cas was originally granted to Aleks LXIX after the “Chromatic Republic” incident, in which he tried to create a democratic council for the Chromatic people. Chromatic Emperor Timmy II, keen to avoid potential political strife, chose to give Aleks the lordship of the North Cas with imperial titles. Aleks, satisfied, disbanded the Chromatic Republic and set about ruling the North Cas.

Allegedly, due to the remote location, many dissidents were sent here by the NSIA for ‘re-education.’ The ministry of Information denies these reports.

After Aleks LXIX passed away, his son Aleks LXX claimed the North Cas, and set about reforming the North Cas economy (now the guards are paid in currency, not just firewood) and creating the North Cas Regional Military.

Furthermore, Lord Aleks is making attempts to gain the title to the Greater Cas region, and to join the Council of Representatives.
