The virus is universally known as the God Emperor because
1. He was a "good" leader who created elections even though no one really had a beef with the old feudal lords of the different lands.
2. Anyone who talked ill of the Emperor was never seen again (he had them killed and no bodies are found. NPC's are programed with a "no body no case" mentality).
3. The God Emperor is on the floating super fortress of Asgard and no one but political leaders or his Generals go up there. Anyone else is considered a intruder and...well the answer isn't hard to figure out.
4. He is VERY politically correct even when he's not! So don't ever bother reasoning cause he always wins..why? Becuase that's how it is.
Our mission is the God Emperor/Viruses destruction by any means necessary but if we become to aggressive/found out then the Virus may start harming other players by upping the difficulty of the game. An if these other players (who are not with us or know the situation/believe us) pile up than things get even messier in the real world. Alternatively we can can destroy the emperors police stations and entice people to start a revolution but that has it's own consequences. This universe is a bit like Eve online where just about ANYTHING is fair game.
If a rebellion starts than the Emperor CAN use his armies on a total extermination of that area.

Pirates.
Players and NPC's can get big ole black bears on there faces and raid trade ships. Has been known to hurt the economy and frowned on by merchants but is still a viable means of profit/adventure.
