The Parliamentary Empire

The Parliamentary Empire was a widespread organization coalition of planets operating under a single governing body, known as the Parliament.

A parallel version of the empire existed as the Anarchist's Tree.

Founding
The Empire was inadvertantly founded by the second Asshole in the early 23rd century, while intending to view the formation of the Empire with a companion.

Early Activities
The Empire's activities during the first decade of its existence consisted mainly of peaceful exploration and light border skirmishes.

Parliamentary-Anarchist declaration of war
A parallel version of the empire, a criminal network known as the Anarchist's Tree made first contact with the empire roughly a decade after its creation, the tree were able to accomplish this due to a "scar" where the third Asshole's TURDIS was forced to escape into the parallel universe by Classy Mafn and Captain Fakas, who themselves were parallel versions of Assholes 1 & 2, thus creating a grandfather paradox.

The Tree's blatant use of paradoxes to further their own goals led to an outbreak of war with the Empire.

Victory and sealing of the rift
In the early 25th century, the Empire had designed a ship with weaponry with enough power output to damage space-time, the first Asshole referred to its power as "ungodly".

The ship was used to damage space-time within the rift, making it impossible to traverse, while this almost immediately ceased all conflict with the Tree, the two renegade agents Classy Mafn and Captain Fakas were stranded in the wrong universe.

War with the Time Painis
In the mid-25th century, the Time Painis appeared in empire-controlled space, resulting in a declaration of war against the Painis after the destruction of several defenceless colonies.

The Time Painis would however prove too powerful for the empire to combat, forcing it into a perpetual retreat.

Defeat and Dissolution
The wrath of the Time Painis eventually caused the end of the empire, the Time Painis however, was defeated by the third Asshole, who was unable to restore the empire due to his knowledge of its defeat.
