There are ten provincial states in the Empire, each ultimately ruled by an Elector Count who is loyal to the emperor. Since the Empire has many enemies such as Chaos, Greenskins, and Skaven, it is necessary for them to be able to organize and unite under one banner. The Empire's biggest ally are the Dwarfs who help them in times of need. Together they try to survive the endless hordes of their enemies and hold their place in the old world.
