	The Empire is completely gender blind. People of any gender can occupy any societal role, and sexism simply does not exist. Women do not have to prove themselves to be warriors or men justify themselves as homemakers - these things are completely unremarkable.		The Empire is completely gender blind.

	As per our guidelines on [[language]], phrases that are common in modern parlance, like "protect the women", which imply that women are helpless and need protecting literally makes no sense in Empire. People do rush to protect children in Empire but they don't try to protect the men or the women. We also ask players to be mindful of their language and try to avoid using male collective nouns when referring to mixed groups of individuals.

	Most people in the world of Empire judge each other on their abilities, not on their age. In the Empire, there is a widespread acceptance that children will only grow into heroes through experience of challenges and dangers. People do not needlessly endanger their children, but they do tolerate them being exposed to risks that would be unthinkable in the real world. As a result, the Empire operates a system of citizenship, where any individual old enough to pass the test is classed as an adult with all the legal privileges thereof. Those who pass the warrior test are considered old enough to take up arms and fight.		Most people in the world of Empire judge each other on their abilities, not on their age.
