Editing Cathay (section)

==Ok, These Guys Sound Fucking Familiar==

Yeah if you couldn't tell Cathay has a suspiciously lot in common with the [[Imperium]] from [[Warhammer 40,000]], even more so than the Empire of Man who is usually seen as the Imperium equivalent. They're both massive human empires lead by a semi divine being calling himself "The Emperor" who rules along side his children, have had a massive internal conflict and had many of the Emperor's children die/go missing, is plagued by division, bureaucracy and rebellion, and is constantly under attack from other sources, primarily Chaos. It's so much that it's highly doubtful this was meant to be a coincidence on GW's part.

That being said while there are some similarities Cathay is hardly a one to one copy. One could look at Cathay as what the Imperium would have become if the Emperor hadn't died, detailing how even if The Great Crusade had been a success the Imperium would still hardly be a perfect place to live. Cathay is also overall a much nicer place to live despite the similarities, since as far as we know they don't burn down massive population centers on the pretense of heresy. Yes, we did compare the Dragon Siblings to the Primarchs but none of them are direct one to one copies and are each their own separate character. Heck given their view on everyone finding their rightful place and thoughts on Harmony one could argue their philosophy is closer to the [[Tau]]'s Greater Good than the Imperial Creed. Don't take a lot of the jokes on here seriously, most of it is fun comparison that inevitably happens between Fantasy and 40k.
