I totally hate my avatar. Just saying.Naaaaah, its called the eternal empire for a reason. We'll do anything to keep it going, no matter how morally questionable it may get. See its really not that convoluted at all. There's the public face of the government, all that the citizens see, and then there's the shadow government that exists in order to keep things running smoothly. The public doesn't know about them, they don't need to :D
Also, just in case, all government agents beyond a certain security clearance are unknowingly implanted with a chip filled with a deadly poison. Ready to be deployed in the event their loyalty to the empire wavers too much.

Through the eyes I have known you.@Imojee: Good luck convincing the doctor who implants the chips to implant one in himself/ Good luck convincing him to stop removing chips from other people when you force one into him.
But just to spell out how convulated this, I'll list off the reasons :p
1. You have networks and networks of secret and shadowy people you have to control, people that you want to control through fear, Fear of death, what motivation is there for your "Followers" if every mistake they do is going to be punishable by death?
2.you want to weed out real rebels by launching fake rebels? I thought your government was doing good at hiding it's crimes? and yet when you bring in such self-parodying nonsense, it'll get people to question the reality of the situation.
3. Going off Number 1. Mistakes lead to errors, Errors lead to the opposition growing stronger.

1. Followers get preferential treatment, worst that can happen to them is a transfer or pay deduction. They got to their position for a reason.
2. Yes, fake rebels, or maybe we'll go with other "nations" that are really just also us, or others in on the scheme. And we've still yet to expose crimes if we have fake rebels who the public believe to be real.
3. Exactly, which is why I've got that inner circle, and the reason I'm not single-handedly running all of this. Get everything finely planned out, so you can control the population however you need to.
Also, helps having a doctor completely loyal to the cause, preferably a friend.

Metrostation are a crappy band. I'm just doing Flanderisation of this one time I hated their music this week.
Everyone must have a typing quirk. Everyone. Failure to adopt a unique quirk results in termination.
There will be much culling...MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.
Wait how is this Buddhist...hmm.
Well clearly The Buddha loved typing quirks. This is proven because the incestuous slurry reminds me of soul recycling in Buddhism.
My logic is infallible.

Everyone is required to waste precious government money on one experiment that is completely useless beyond "I thought it would be funny". RESEARCH GRANTS FOR ALL!!

Fell and were replaced with anarchy at worst and a dark age at best. Take us down and it all falls with us. Plus I'd plan on having plenty of conspiracies and secret groups under our control, for when things need to get done, yet no one can know the details. Control society, control the way they think.
Also, I'm saving the finer politics for other member of my inner circle, I'd be foolish to try and run this alone.
