It must be said that His Majesty Norton is very law-abiding.
He clearly didn't need to go through such formalities; he was the sole ruler of the Southern Continent.
However, in order to respect the law, he still orchestrated this farce about the coronation, which shows his adherence to the law.
This is the fundamental difference between him and those emperors of the Southern Continent.
Norton doesn't bully others by abusing his power!
With Queen Maria's coronation, the entire Southern Continent quickly returned to peace under His Majesty Norton's control.
But this is just the beginning.
In early 1579, His Holiness the Pale Church Pope Norton changed the Holy Empire's era name to: Norton.
Instead of replacing Norton's years from a thousand years ago, it redefines the first year to begin anew.
Thus, the Holy Empire of the Southern Continent fully entered the unified Norton era.
In the first year of Norton's reign, everything was being rebuilt.
Although the various empires took away many researchers and high-ranking personnel, the Southern Continent was still too vast, and its legacy remained profound.
Such profound heritage requires Norton's subjective control in order to better serve the entire Southern Continent.
So, at the beginning of the Holy First Year, the Pale God, in the name of Queen Maria, issued decrees to the people.
The first rule is: toilets will be built throughout the entire Southern Continent, and anyone who does not relieve themselves in a toilet will be punished with whipping!
The enactment of this decree threw the already simmering public opinion in the Southern Continent, where the Pale God's rule, which was not based on human race, into chaos.
Almost immediately, parades appeared in the streets and alleys.
Banners proclaiming "Freedom to Poop" were hung all over the streets, and various protest slogans were scattered throughout the streets and alleys.
Some dissatisfied individuals even stored feces and scattered it on the streets, or even smeared it on surrounding walls.
Just like modern protest marches and demonstrations, the processions are long and impressive, sometimes even involving pulling things along the way, to demonstrate their determination to protest!
The Pale God Norton was furious at such disgusting behavior.
With a wave of his hand, the army, Vampire, and even the Werewolf species that had recently been forced to submit, which were already completely under his control, were all dispatched to begin a large-scale arrest and massacre of extremist protesters.
Anyone who dared to litter in the streets and alleys was killed on the spot, and their stinking corpses were hung from the branches of nearby trees to create a huge deterrent.
Norton has very little bloodlust; in fact, he doesn't even have the intention to kill anyone.
Because of his high position, great power, and strong strength, coupled with the fact that he did not have any perverse desires in this regard, he can be considered a benevolent ruler.
Throughout history, over the past sixteen hundred years, only the unbearable "freedom to defecate" of the Southern Continent has truly managed to provoke him.
But the people of the Southern Continent also seem to have some kind of ideological problem.
They weren't angry when their empire was destroyed, nor did they feel much about being ruled by inhuman beings. The only thing that really enraged them was the matter of convenient control over everyone's lives!
The freedom to excrete is one of the greatest forms of personal freedom!
If even this is to be taken away by this Pale God, they cannot even imagine the extent of oppression they will face in their future lives.
As the Pale God's guards arrested and killed, the farce became increasingly dramatic, with many young people even believing they were fighting against evil, and a worship chain even emerged.
More and more corpses were hanging from the trees on both sides of the street, and the mud on the street was getting thicker and thicker. The entire Southern Continent was filled with an extremely disgusting atmosphere.
Even roads newly paved yesterday will be covered in filth when you wake up in the morning.
Even the newly built Pale Church monastery was secretly entered and defiled.
Fortunately, the enforcement team consisted entirely of Norton's creations, especially the Vampire, who, under Abraham's strong pressure, dared not harbor any ulterior motives.
This farce lasted for five months, during which countless people died. When the bodies were cleared away, they even filled the local Church used for cremation. Protesting marches were all slaughtered in the streets, with no means of resistance and no chance of survival.
Countless people died on the eve of the dawn.
Such a horrific massacre finally brought to the attention of the terrified people of the Southern Continent, revealing the resolve of the Pale God in this matter.
In addition, all the true rebels were killed. Thus, the "burning corpses and burying excrement" incident, which was recorded in the annals of the Southern Continent, finally came to an end. However, it also cast a bloody shadow over the newly founded Holy Empire and sowed the seeds of rebellion.
But people don't learn from their mistakes. No matter how many people die, as time goes by and life gets better, the past will gradually be selectively forgotten.
As the sanitary conditions of the Southern Continent improved, His Majesty Norton issued one decree after another.
To the surprise of the people of the Southern Continent, this inhuman God, who had just established a nation and brutally suppressed demonstrations, had laws that were far better than those of the major empires of the past.
It could even be described as Heaven regulations.
Its laws abolished all previous political systems and instead reverted to the old Papal State Church, utilizing monasteries throughout the country to manage local security issues.
All images of God and all those who represent God were replaced by the Pale God Norton.
Even the word ' God ' was removed by law, and from now on, the name ' Norton ' will replace the word ' God '.
Even the Pale Church's monasteries, from missionaries to nuns and even priests, must all be Norton's creations ( Vampire, Werewolf, mutants).
He allocated all the land in the Southern Continent to each household according to the population size, in order to ensure that each household had a sufficient food source.
The urban population will be allocated jobs, thus ensuring distribution according to work, so that the poor people of the Southern Continent who used to go hungry will all have a job to survive.
In addition, it began to distribute welfare benefits on a large scale, and carried out large-scale construction projects, building colleges, hospitals, and even research institutes and other modern institutions.
At the same time, the control over the liberation of thought was further relaxed, which instead encouraged the public to use their wisdom and express different humanistic ideas.
Scholars who have conducted research in various regions have also been given subsidies to encourage scientific research and technological development.
Although it did not regulate the slave trade, the intellectual liberation of the Southern Continent developed rapidly under its lenient and benevolent policies, and all kinds of cultures and ideas emerged at a fast pace.
Its development and trends have far surpassed those of the major empires of yesteryear, truly reaching a point where anything not prohibited by law is permissible.
It should be noted that the Southern Continent was severely affected by the poisonous influence of the Holy Lord Church back then, and all sorts of outdated ideas permeated society, passively hindering the Southern Continent's vigorous development.
Norton has not only forcibly destroyed the Holy Lord Church, bringing about another wave of intellectual liberation, but has also encouraged the development of various ideas and technologies, without any concern about whether it will pose a crisis to his rule. This is the biggest difference between him and the countries of the Southern Continent in the past.
