The Atloehyoszo Dynasty was the ruling dynasty of the Third Empire of Yashurhiel (pronounced ^?/jæ.ˈʃɵ.hiːl/, Yashurhieli: , tr. Kánnọi Zìsyảshùrhịel, Yashurhieli pronuncation [ˈkaɳː.oi ˌzis.ʲa.ʃyɻ.ˈʜiɛl], trans. "Glorious Yashur Empire") from 1706 to 1937, and the only royal dynasty to rule modern Yashurhiel, with its reign seeing the Empire to industrialise and rise to become a world power. The dynasty fell during the Yashurhieli Revolution, which saw the end of the millennia-old Yashur monarchy.

Politics

Modern Yashurhiel was divided into 40 prefectures. These regions were further divided into dioceses, of which there were 315. Additionally, Yashurhiel's realm included four colonies, one of which included claimed territory that was controlled by Atraeth from 1881 to 1910.

Military

The Glorious Yashurhieli Imperial Armed Forces served as the military of the Yashurhieli monarchy. It was divided into three sections: the Yashurhieli Army, the Yashurheili Navy, and the Imperial Yasz.

The Yashurhieli Army found its origins in the Yashur warrior class that fought for and defended the realm of the Imperial Family, and had remained largely unchanged since its reformation into a standardised army in 1822, which standardised uniforms, equipment and training for all armed forces. The careers for professional soldiers remained as a hereditary role until the 1937 revolution, with soldiers enlisted on a rotational conscription system that pressed soldiers into service for four years before being sent home for a one year off duty period (where they functioned as reserves and were required to be prepared for combat at any time). The professional Yashurhieli army was renowned for its high discipline, morale and training, and was culturally regarded as one of the most honourable roles of Yashurhieli society, with the warrior class forming part of the Zubadjazh caste. Though it was possible for soldiers of common descent to become commissioned officers, traditionally it had been nobility - and in the late Atloehyoszo dynasty even wealthy bourgeoisie - that had filled the ranks above lieutenant, with many officers heralding from noble families descended from the same warrior class of antiquity.

Conscription was officially introduced in 1817, and served as the modern equivalent of the old practice of calling up peasant militia to defend their local prefectures, a practice relied on by the sovereigns of the empire in times when professional soldiers have been unavailable or too few in number. Modern conscripts were typically drawn from non-Yashur populations of able-bodied men throughout the empire, and rather than tasked with defending their local region, were sent to fight across the empire and even in other countries. Though far less disciplined, the conscripted forces were often required in times of war; Yashurhiel's participation in the World War saw the number of conscripts soar to its highest level since their introduction.

The Yashurhieli Navy, much like its land force counterpart, was formed entirely of professional sailors, with commissioned officers also typically being of noble or wealthy birth. Yashurhiel was for millennia - beyond even the end of the monarchy - regarded as a significant naval power, and had demonstrated itself as capable of rivalling the fleets of other historical world naval powers such as Atraeth and Etruarand. Conscription was never introduced into the navy.

The Imperial Yasz were the honour guard of the Imperial Family, formed of Zuabosz (lit. "Eternal" or "Immortal"), and had their own ranking system identical to that of the Army up to the rank of field officers, with members of the Imperial Family itself serving as the generals of the Imperial Yasz. The Emperor of Yashurhiel was traditionally regarded as the commander in chief of the entire Glorious Yashurhieli Imperial Armed Forces, however his authority had for most of the Yashurhieli military's history been ceremonial, and had only in later decades been treated as a genuine commanding role.

Police force

Historically, the Imperial Army served as the law enforcing arm of the Yashurhieli state since the founding of the Zhotl dynasty. Since the mid Szatljayi period (Between 200-150 BCE), the divine law of the Empire of Yashurhiel had been additionally enforced by the judgement of prefects and diocesans, tasked with the arrest, trial and punishment of criminals, acting both as police and judges, with their authority enforced by the army, of whom they were granted limited authority over. Their realm of jurisdiction was divided into prefectures, headed by a prefect, which was then subdivided into typically 5-7 dioceses, headed by diocesans. By the Altoehyoszo period, capitalism and the concept of private property - however limited it was in Yashurhiel in comparison to its existence in the west - began to spread across the developed parts of the nation. While in the west professional police forces were created and employed, the Empire merely adapted the prefect system to the role of protecting private property, giving it the title Imperial Civil Guard.
