Dipteran Empire

The Dipteran Empire, commonly known as Diptera or The Empire, was an Imperial Monarchy. Their equipment is very old my current standards, the use a combination of bows, knives, a few gunpowder weapons from the 1960s, and their custom made weapon is known as the Parang: A weapon in the shape of a straightened sickle made of pure glass, it is extremely sharp and can kill in an instant. Never once has the empire needed to use conscription because their culture has a deep desire to rule. To them an empire which does not control all is worse than death and so there is never a shortage of manpower. Whenever they capture a group they do not know, they will always say: "Comprométete al rey, o todos morirás." which means: "Pledge yourself to the emperor, or you will all die." And most often the other faction cannot understand them and so the entire group of whoever was caught will be slaughtered.
