Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie)

Torumekian Empire

In "Kaze no Tani no Naushika" (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind), the movie and the manga by Hayao Miyazaki (I've only seen the film), a universe heavily influenced by Franck Herbert's "Dune", the world is in a post-apocaliptical state. Most of the Earth is uninhabitable because it is occupied by poisonous fungi and various forms of huge insects. The inhabitable world is divided in three main groups, the techonological and militaristic Torumekian Empire, the religious Dorok Empire (plays no direct action in the movie), and the petty kingdoms of the Periphery, of which we learn about two in the movie, the Valley of The Wind and Pejite. Nausicaä is the princess of the Valley of the Wind at the time the Torumekian Empire invades it. She then allies herself with prince Asbel of Pejite in trying to stop the destruction of the valley and of the insect/fungi world, because she discovers it is actually cleaning the land.

Torumekian Empire

by João Madureira

The Torumekian Empire flag is briefly but clearly visible: with proportions about 2:3 or 3:5, on a black field, two red snakes each looking to one side, with their tales intertwined at the bottom, and a vertical golden sword on top
