Waifurian Interregnum

The final statue of Mummy left in Waifuria, found in a town square located in Country 6 (formerly Cambodia). It was toppled several days after this photograph was taken.

the Waifurian Interregnum was the period after the collapse of the Waifurian Empire in which much of the local supercluster fell into a state of lawless anarchy. The period was marred with intergalactic famines and violent civilian protests and uprisings against local governments.

Death of Waifuria

In the late stages of the Waifurian Empire, the Imperial influence had waned greatly. The Empire, after hundreds of thousands of years of careless spending, rapid expansionism, and militaristic deity worship, had finally reached its final days. Across the galaxies, people yearned for independence; the Mummy's Dynasty had come to an end. After the Waifurian Empire was defeated by the anti-Employeric terrorist sect 'Worlds Without Boundaries' in 100,354 AB (and the subsequent suicide of the heirless Emperor, Bryan Crayon XXVI), the systems under Waifurian Jurisdiction began to gradually break apart from the Waifurian Core. At this point, there was nothing the Empire could do about it. Waifuria was too financially insolvent to buy more weapons, fund their military, or even pay the electric bill in Syndor City. The federal Waifurium ran a deficit of $320 Quadrillion Trillion dollars in 100,352 AB, and that figure was quadrupled by 100,354 AB.

The thinly spread Waifurian Military rapidly retreated into the darkest corners of the Omniverse, being beaten back to the Milky Way within fifteen years of the death of the final Emperor. The Waifurian Empire eventually retracted to a small area in North America, surrounding the capital city of Memphis, Tennessee. Many remaining bureaucrats and government officials were eventually hunted down and tried for their crimes against humanity, and for the utter corruption and disregard for life most had exhibited during their time in office.

The Waifurian Empire was remembered in history books as a tyrannical and genocidal force responsible for colonization and ecological destruction. The Mummy was known far and wide as the figure primarily responsible for the Empire, and became a taboo and sensitive subject across the Omniverse. He was the most evil being ever to live, and he, nor his wretched son, could ever be allowed to wield power again...

Others harbored... well, an alternative viewpoint.
