The Empire of the Sun, or Rothmanthar in Rauic, is the counterpart of the Empire of the White Ox. In terms of technology and culture, Rothmanthar fares better than the White Ox. The Rothraum were the first, who invented the singularity drive and achieved faster-than-light speed. However, the Yarraum followed just a year later. Although Rothmanthar's dominion is as wide as Yarmanthar's, the Rothaurs of Rothmanthar has far greater support in the Capital compared to the Aishaurs of Yarmanthar throughout the recent galactic years. Insofar, Rothmanthar was elected in favor instead of the White Ox to seat in the Capital the most times in the history of the Two Empires.

- Empire of the Sun is a 1984 novel by J. G. Ballard which was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Like Ballard's earlier short story, "The Dead Time" (published in the anthology Myths of the Near Future), it is essentially fiction but draws extensively on Ballard's experiences in World War II. The novel tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham, a young boy who goes from living in a wealthy British family in Shanghai, to becoming a prisoner of war in Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center, a Japanese internment camp, during World War II. A page for the book has not yet been made.
- Gli Impero del Sole sono un gruppo musicale che prendono il loro nome da una comunità nomade omonima che raggiunse il numero maggiore di componenti in contemporanea con lo sbarco degli alieni presso i Maya. Il gruppo ha scelto questo nome poiché, secondo delle loro teorie proprie, il fatto che la comunità nomade ebbe il maggior numero di componenti proprio con lo sbarco degli alieni, probabilmente preannuncia un ritorno della comunità nel 21 dicembre 2012. Ufficialmente il duo dichiara di portar questo nome in onore dell'omonimo romanzo autobiografico di J. G. Ballard.
- Jamie spends some time living in his deserted home, but after eating all the food he ventures out into the city. While searching for food, he tries to surrender to some Japanese soldiers, but they shrug and laugh him off. After being chased by a street urchin, Jamie is taken in by Basie, an American expatriate and hustler and his partner Frank, who nicknames him "Jim". Basie offers to help Jim find his parents, but Jim (who is upset over his friend's death) chooses to stay behind. Jim is eventually found by American soldiers and is placed in an orphanage.

| - Gli Impero del Sole sono un gruppo musicale che prendono il loro nome da una comunità nomade omonima che raggiunse il numero maggiore di componenti in contemporanea con lo sbarco degli alieni presso i Maya. Il gruppo ha scelto questo nome poiché, secondo delle loro teorie proprie, il fatto che la comunità nomade ebbe il maggior numero di componenti proprio con lo sbarco degli alieni, probabilmente preannuncia un ritorno della comunità nel 21 dicembre 2012. Ufficialmente il duo dichiara di portar questo nome in onore dell'omonimo romanzo autobiografico di J. G. Ballard. Secondo la band le loro canzoni sono estremamente importanti[citazione necessaria] per il futuro dell'umanità, infatti i loro testi sono scritti con molta attenzione e nei loro concerti vengono effettuate accurate procedure: vengono effettuati sacrifici umani e gettati cadaveri dal palco sugli spettatori. Alla fine di ogni canzone la band interpella il calendario mayale.

The novel tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham, a young boy who goes from living in a wealthy British family in Shanghai, to becoming a prisoner of war in Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center, a Japanese internment camp, during World War II. The book was adapted by Tom Stoppard in 1987. The screenplay was filmed by Steven Spielberg, to critical acclaim, being nominated for six Oscars and winning three British Academy Awards (for cinematography, music and sound). It starred 13-year-old Christian Bale, as well as John Malkovich and Miranda Richardson. For information on the movie adaptation, see here: Empire of the Sun.

- Jamie spends some time living in his deserted home, but after eating all the food he ventures out into the city. While searching for food, he tries to surrender to some Japanese soldiers, but they shrug and laugh him off. After being chased by a street urchin, Jamie is taken in by Basie, an American expatriate and hustler and his partner Frank, who nicknames him "Jim". They first intend to leave Jamie in the streets when they are unable to sell his teeth for cash, but Jamie promises to lead them back to his neighborhood where there are valuables to loot. While there, Jamie finds his house lit and sees a figure in the window whom he thinks is his mother, but when he runs to the door, the house is occupied by Japanese troops, who take Jamie, Bassi and Jim prisoner. The three of them are then taken to the Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center in Shanghai for processing. A truck later arrives to take selected internees to the Suzhou Creek Internment Camp; Basie is among those selected to go, but Jamie is not and because he knows of the camp's location, Jamie is able to convince the soldiers to take him. On arrival at the camp, Jim wanders to the airfield to witness workers servicing a squadron of Zero fighters and he reaches out to touch one, he is confronted by a trio of fighter pilots. Jim salutes the pilots and the pilots salute him in return. It is now 1945 and near the end of the Pacific War. Despite the terror and poor living conditions of the camp, Jim survives by establishing a successful trading networ which even involves the camp's commander, Sergeant Nagata. Dr. Rawlins (who is the camp's British doctor) becomes a father figure and teacher to Jim. One night after a bombing raid, Nagata orders the destruction of the prisoners' infirmary as reprisal. He only stops when Jim (who is now fluent in Japanese) begs forgiveness. Through the barbed wire fencing, Jim befriends a Japanese teenager, who is a trainee pilot. He also visits Basie in the American POW barracks where Jim idolizes the Americans and their culture. Basie eventually sends Jim to set snare traps outside the camp's wire; though Jim succeeds, Basie is only using him to test the area for land mines—plotting to escape. As a reward, Basie allows Jim to move into the American barracks with him. One morning at dawn, Jim witnesses a kamikaze ritual. Overcome with emotion, he salutes and sings the Welsh song "Suo Gân" and base is suddenly attacked by a group of American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft. Jim is overjoyed and climbs the ruins of a nearby pagoda to better watch the airstrike. Dr. Rawlins chases Jim up the pagoda to save him where Jim breaks down in tears because can't remember what his parents look like. Due to the attack, the Japanese decide to evacuate the camp. Basie escapes during the confusion even though he promised to take Jim with him. The camp's prisoners march through the wilderness where many die of fatigue, starvation and disease. After arriving at a football stadium near Nantao (which is filled with luxuries that were confiscated by the Japanese), Jim recognizes his parents' Packard. After waking up next to a woman's corpse, he witnesses flashes from the atomic bombing of Nagasaki hundreds of miles away. Jim slips away from the group and wanders back to Suzhou Creek. Along the way, he hears news of Japan's surrender and the end of the war. He encounters the Japanese teenager that befriended earlier, who has since become a pilot, but is now disillusioned. The youth remembers Jim & offers him a mango and cuts it for him with his katana. Basie reappears with a group of armed Americans who have arrived to loot the Red Cross containers being airdropped over the area. One of the Americans (who thinks that Jim is in danger) shoots and kills the Japanese youth. Basie offers to help Jim find his parents, but Jim (who is upset over his friend's death) chooses to stay behind. Jim is eventually found by American soldiers and is placed in an orphanage. The movie ends with a deeply traumatized Jim reuniting with his parents over the sound of the Welsh lullaby and the final scene shows Jim's suitcase floating in the river in Shanghai (which he had thrown in the water during the march to Nantao stadium).
