The State

History
The Ninjas and Pirates war had waged on for centuries…that is until the State arrived. Equipped with the latest technology, powerful alchemy, and an array of skilled warriors these “defenders of peace” arose to put an end to the Ninja and Pirate battle. Fighting both fronts for years, the State was able to push the Ninja and Pirate forces back to their respective homelands. In the process of doing so, the State was able to acquire the majority of the planet and place it under its control.

No one knows where the State came from and where its massive amount of power came from. Some say it was nothing more than a collection non-pirate and non-ninja folks that grew tired of the war. Others say they are a divine force not from this planet. Either way, most people can agree that the State is a very powerful force that should not be taunted.

Government


The State’s government is broken down into multiple levels. The King, the supreme ruler of the world, governs all and has the final say on anything. The King has no name, or at least his name has been hidden from the people. Many have not even seen his face. Even higher ups that work with him are not allowed to look at him. Despite the mysteries surrounding him, however, everyone knows of him to be a force of good, and thus no one fears him they just have the utmost respect for him.

Beneath the King there are the Administrators. These elite generals carry out the King’s orders and protect the lands. The Administrators control the States armies and work together to keep the Ninjas and Pirates in line.



Current Status
Although the State effectively put an end to the Ninjas and Pirates war, it realizes that it can never end the battles or bitter rivalry. Thus, the State allows the battles to continue even though it has laws against it. Nonetheless, it still tries to promote peace between the two factions. The State has created Overlord positions where Ninjas and Pirates can solve their problems diplomatically. Although rarely ever effective, these positions grant the Ninjas and Pirates some political power and thus keep them as strong forces in the fate of the world.

It is important to note that the State does not hope to kill all Ninjas and Pirates it just hopes to bring peace between. The State does not believe in killing. Although powerful it tries to steer clear of death whenever it can. Still, sometimes death is necessary in order to achieve results for the greater good.
