Ateria

==Overview==
Ateria is the continent where Battle Nations takes place. The Empire controls most of the continent, though other countries exist, even though most aren’t mentioned in the game’s storyline.
==History==
===The Empire===
The majority of Ateria’s land is controlled by The Empire, which expanded under Emperor Hendrik the Great. Through military force, many Aterian countries were absorbed, leading to widespread oppression. Emperor Hendrik the Great’s son, Emperor Tragan, later industrialized these new territories. During his reign, the rebellion began to form. Tragan’s son, Emperor Hendrik II, initially controlled the rebellions, but after the defection of General Ashe, the Rebels gained momentum and ultimately assassinated Hendrik II during their surprise attack on Cariston, the Empire’s capital. The Empire then crumbled, leaving Rebel leaders, originating from the countries the Empire had conquered, to decide its fate.
In several missions with General Salmanca, it’s revealed that Rebel leaders disagree on forming a new government. Some leaders seek to cause as much destruction as possible, choosing to attack the Outpost, one of the last two surviving Imperial settlements. Due to these disagreements, the Empire remains in chaos, without a central government.
===Sovereign Navy===
The Sovereign Navy is a naval power from a small, distant continent. Having already conquered all land on their continent, they set their sights on Ateria, targeting The Empire first due to its control of most of the land.
