Speaking of the empire's culture, people seem to always manage to associate it with a pile of grand but meaningless statues, colossal constructions, documentaries, symphonies, operas, and the like. It is the union of linear thinking that equates bigger with better, and more with good, combined with classical aesthetic principles, out of which the official culture of the empire has been bred. Those who appreciate it find it magnificent, and those who don't find it rigid, stiff, and lacking in vitality. However, it is common knowledge that in the empire, where spies are omnipresent, adult literature underground flourishes astonishingly. The content of some pamphlets is so shocking that even the notoriously libertine sailors from Albion shudder, exclaiming, "This is too much," and "How repressed are those imperial folks?"
