The senate will decide your fate

Now what

You were court-martialed, Earth man, for treason against intergalactic-democracy and exiled. At least call it what it is.

I see you chose a man from the stars as your avatar. It would appear you and your primitive people are well-versed in worshipping men from the stars. Good.

Zod’s army does not fear some puny primitive Earth “Senate”. We have the Krypton High counsel!!

*DISCLAIMER: This is a role-playing exercise, and all in good fun. A fun learning exercise in the reality of authoritarianism and current events. Meanwhile- Everyone, please respect the TOS and the children here, rules for which we all are bound. Tap out if the live-action roleplaying becomes too intense. [This PSA was brought to you by the Krypton high counsel]

i thought is an empire.

Indeed Zod rules over a mighty empire, Earth child.

an empire is not a democracy lol, and an empire effectively is a monarchy, a really big monarchy.

Your nation America calls itself a democracy, Earth child. Under Zod, all shall be free!
