Davegon

The Empire of Davegon is a nation in Westrath. Davegon commands the most robust economy and the largest navy in the world. The empire is the most industrialized and technologically advanced nation. Davegon has grown rich off of imports from the empire's numerous colonies. Davegon uses its naval power to project influence throughout its colonies and beyond. The nation is an absolute monarchy, led by Empress Isobel. However, much of her power is vested in the Consortium, a council of ministers that cover the everyday administration of the empire. The empire's economy is spearheaded by wealthy guilds, trading companies, and syndicates. 
Davegon's major competitors are Forellon and Caldea, the two other empires in Westrath.
