St. John (legendary figure)

For other uses, see St. John (disambiguation)
Saint John also know as John the Great, was a Nirosian politican in the Kingdom of Niros and later, the legendary founder of the Thustian Empire. Due to the lack of proper historical records from that time, historians are overall conflicted as to what is fact and fiction when it comes to John the Great. Although, most researchers agree that he was a royal advisor in Niros, who later founded the aforementioned empire.
After the fall of the Kingdom of Niros, John the Great united several tribes, who now had no ruler, into a single new empire. His ideas were quite liberal at the time, since John the Great allowed and actively promoted local governments in his empire. Due to its vast multiculturalism, John regularly stated that anybody, regardless of ethnicity or language could become Thustian. Historians and social scientists have attributed St. John to being one of the founding fathers behind ideas such as egalitarianism, civic nationalism and to a certain extent democracy. Since, each county in the Thustian Empire often allowed for its citizens to have a direct say in how the local government handled affairs.
