History
The predecessor of the Empire of Venezia was the Kingdom of Venezia. It was a small state which ruled a small land of Venezia. This kingdom had been existed for hundreds of years. At the beginning, when the kingdom was created, it was shrouded of the shadow of the other ancient states. After many years, A mighty king was born. He defeated some other states and created the Empire of Venezia. And this mighty king was called "Ba'al", which means "lord". One by one, many other states were destroyed by the empire. The Empire of Venezia went into its golden age. Almost the whole continent was ruled by the empire. Hundreds of Millions of people were the citizens of the empire. And then, something happened. A new religion named Adonaism started rising. The paganism kept trying to suppress this religion. But one day, the emperor saw a miracle, an angel asked the emperor to put a symbol on his soldiers' shields and then they would be unstoppable. The emperor thought, "I shall conquer..." And he really won the battle, the emperor soon announced that Adonaism was a legal religion, though he went to a temple to worship the solar god before doing this. And so Adonaism became the official religion of the empire. During these thousands of years, the empire and Adonaism brought many sufferings to their people, so some people called this era "the Era of Baals", which means the empire was actually ruled by the evil-gods. After the industrial revolution, the empire decided to conquer the other continents. Its officers created an army named "First Encounter Assault Recon" to help the imperial army to kill all the natives. With the assistance of F.E.A.R., the imperial army conquered most of the world. During a thousand years, the empire developed many new technologies. Although the empire was extremely powerful, it never truly benefit the people at the bottom. The disparity became very serious. The conscription was never stopped. Wars made the civilians poor and poor. The unlimited expansion finally caused a massive uprising that the empire never concerned before. After several years, the resistance army overthrew the glorious empire and created the Republic of Venezia to replace it.

Technology
From the ancient time to the modern era, the Empire of Venezia had invented high tech trucks and space ships, also the laser guns and the laser gates. With these technologies, the empire was almost unstoppable. The Armacham Technology Corporation took over most of its technologies after the empire fell.
