Two hours after the coronation, Their Majesties Emperor Zoe and Empress Theodora of the East Solomon Empire faced an endless array of troubles.
First was the issue of domestic industry.
Since the great schism between the Eastern and Western Churches, scientific and technological exchanges had come to a complete halt.
To date, the civilian industry of the East Solomon Empire had recovered to forty percent of the Ancient Solomon Empire's capacity, with complex household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions restarting production lines.
As for the military industry, they were currently only capable of manufacturing firearms and mortars. This meant that the stockpiled rockets, power armor, and airplanes were a dwindling resource, with each broken piece further depleting the reserves.
