The Axiom
The Priests of Power
Order is freedom. Obedience is Salvation.
The State
The Axiom is a singular civilizing entity that lords over the loosely assembled remnants of Old Europe and North African territories, from the ashes of the First Great Trade War, the Axiom movement has been the salvation of nearly 1.5 billion souls in a dour and brutal future. Citizens of the Axiom worship with religious zeal the notion of order and secular progress. No matter that progress is an illusion, propped up by a large sterile governmental bureaucracy with its stringent control and massive unwieldy propaganda machines.
Not matter at all. The Axiom citizenry pivots around worshipful adoration of its nationhood. In turn, the Axiom State rules with righteous fervor.
Progress and faith in stability – that is what matters. One need merely believe that the world is better than it was, and that it will be better still through hard work and the adherence to the basic principles of civilization and stunted order. Thus, the status quo is progress. Order is liberation.
The Key
There’s an old saying: One door opens, another locks shut. Axiom is the Key.
The citizens of Axiom are taught from birth that they are individuals, yes, and that individualism is the core component of their value to the world. But this fundamental lesson is tempered immediately and forcefully with the virtue that one’s individualism only earns genuine value in relation to other cogs in the grand machine. Having learned horrific lessons from the implosion of Old Europe and from the encompassing Trade Wars inspired and facilitated by the Aetherium, The Axiom believes infallibly at its core in order, stability, lucidity, and cooperation, each rigorously codified in a profound sequence of virtues; all else is secondary.
Thus, the Axiom citizen is free to obey.
And no wonder then, that the Axiom symbol is two keys crossed, one for the Maeterial world and one of the Aehterial universe erupting in its shadow. The Axiom covets mastery of both and understands intuitively the latent power in this ambition.
