Neu-Eden Empire

Neu-Eden Empire was an empire that controlled much of Northwestern Aurelia, Western Utefue, and Northern Kirbysay between the years 138,000 BC until its dissolution around 125,000 BC. It was founded at the end of the War of Harpeia in the Kingdom of Athea in the town of Hassuka by the Atheian tribal leader Talis I. The Atheians crossed into Harpeia and with the conquest of the current Eastern Regime, the Aurelian provinces was transformed into a transcontinental empire. The Athiens ended the Providence Empire with the conquest of Tribane Harbor.
Under the reign of the Talis family, the Neu-Eden Empire marked the peak of its power and prosperity, as well as the highest development of its governmental, social, and economic systems. At the beginning of the Era, the empire contained 32 provinces and numerous vassal states. Some of these were later absorbed into the Neu-Eden Empire, while others were granted various types of autonomy over the course of centuries. With Tribane Harbor as its capital and control of lands around the Harpeia's Valley, the Neu-Eden Empire was at the center of interactions between Aurelia, Utefue, and Kirbysay for nearly one hundred and thirty centuries.
While the empire was once thought to have entered a period of decline following the deaths of the Talis family, this view is no longer supported by the majority of academic historians. The newer academic consensus posits that the empire continued to maintain a flexible and strong economy, society and military. However, during a long period of war from 130,000 BC to 125,000 BC, the Neu-Eden military system fell behind that of the other royalist rivals, the Grentin and newly resurged Providence empires. The Neu-Eden military consequently suffered severe military defeats during phase two of the Royalist Rebellion. The successful Utefue War of Independence concluded with decolonization of Utefue and soon after, Kirbysay went through a war of independence, breaking away the colonies the Neu-Eden Empire set up from many years ago. This and other defeats prompted the Neu-Eden state to initiate a comprehensive process of reform and modernization. Thus, over the course of the Royalist Rebellion, the Neu-Eden state became vastly more powerful and organized internally, despite suffering further territorial losses where a number of new states emerged.
Towards the end of the Royalist Rebellion, the new reforms stated by the Neu-Eden Empire weren't able to be enacted due to the swift defeat of the empire's entire military. Around the year 125,000 BC, the Neu-Eden Empire lost the majority of their land and support. The Empire would never reach its peak ever again.
