Major Powers

In the context of nations, a major power denotes a nation with the power and ability to extend its influence beyond its own borders, either diplomatically or militarily pulling a weaker nation in it's 'sphere of influence'. The following is a list of nations considered to fit the criteria of a major power, jointly agreed upon by the University of Lockvalar and the Nientai Royal Institute.
==Casoria==
Casorian Empire - by far the most powerful nation on Casoria, and remains the most powerful on Oryndiil. With a large, well-equipped army, a powerful economic base, and a firmly established chain of diplomatic alliances and links, the Empire is a major power in every possible respect.
Southern Republic - capable of matching the Imperial Legion of the Empire militarily, and with a strong economy and an attractive political ideal, the Republic just qualifies as a major power.
==Ohoroh==
Herenami Rex - the largest and most populated nation on Ohoroh, when taking into account her subject states. With the largest navy on Ohoroh, and a powerful army, the Herenami empire is capable to projecting her influence far abroad.
Nientay - a rapidly climbing nation, it has gone from an isolated backwater to a continental and global powerhouse in less than a century. With a large, modern army, trained to Casorian standards, and a similarly impressive navy, it is theorized that Nientay can crush any of her neighbours; a particularly comforting conclusion when considering her aggressive southern neighbour, Vehemena. With a strong diplomatic corps, and a powerful industrialised economy, Nientay is also capable of making alliances, as proven with nations such as Flandora, Makharia and Swani.
Unified Ohoric Taifas - though still relatively backwards, the Taifas have proven able to extend their influence beyond their borders, as the vassalisation of neighbouring Essar has proven.
Telaa Sahel - The cultural and politically centre of the Jenwebi people, and the centre of their native religion, Ahaerikhedism. Technologically backwards, yet geographically isolated, large, and with a solid population base, and surrounded by many states that are both smaller and (mostly) friendly.
Horu -
==Isaevi==
Isaevi Imperium - The direct continuation of the ancient Isaevi empire of old, the Imperium is a colossal power taking up much of the southern portion of the continent of Isaevi. Technologically backwards by Casorian standards, industrialisation of the Isaevi heartland is progressing well, and political reforms are bringing the state steadily to modernity.
Commonwealth of the North - The vast, powerful multinational alliance of the northern Valittu realms, the Commonwealth is a force to be reckoned with. Technologically advanced, politically stable, and renowned for their ability as a warrior-people, the Commonwealth in full unity is capable of challenging any other nation for global dominance.
