The **Empire of Solyu**, (Primordial: *Te Empepaea o Aotearoa*; Norse: *Heimsveldi Nýja Sjálands*) often referred to as the **Solyuan Empire**, **Solyu**, or **Aotearoa**, is a sovereign country and imperial state with semi-democratic elections for certain public offices. Solyu is located on the northwestern part of the main continent of Yamga, bordered to the south by Hethrem, southeast by Valara and is surrounded by ocean to its west, north and east, sharing coastal waters with the Isle of Wight and Tefraspiti. Solyu is the foremost military power on the western side of the Yamga continent, loosely practicing the idea of armed neutrality, with a total area covering over 906,000 square miles (2,346,529.23 km2) and has an estimated population of over ??? million.

The Empire of Solyu is a semi-democratic imperial state organized under a separation of head of state (Monarch) and head of government (Prime Minister), with the National Council exercising legislative functions under the oversight of the head of government. The National Council is a unicameral body, whose members are selected by each province's Governors, who to achieve proportional representation, are only allowed to send two representatives each; one from urban oversight and the other from rural oversight. All permanent resident citizens of Solyu above the age of majority are entitled to vote. The current Monarch(s) are Emperor Kai Rapids Seoul (head of state) and Empress Skye Echo Seoul with the Emperor being concerned with improvements to the military while the Empress is focused on development of the nation. The current Prime Minister is Fade Skaunyo (head of government) who is heavily involved in the day-to-day legislature and internal affairs of the empire, most notably being focused on the improvement of the economy and innovation.

The Solyuan Empire was born from the fires of war and strife as the oppressed Genasi rose against their oppressors. The territory comprising the current empire was originally split among several smaller nations which failed to halt and contain the uprising, resulting in their destruction and formation of the Empire of Solyu. The bordering nations were pounced on by their neighbors when they were weakened, leading to the current borders observed today. The empire is a diverse country, from its birth to the current day, there is considerable minority presence within the country as its territory was originally owned by nations of various other races, leading to the only decision not bound for the young nation's immediate destruction, Meritocracy. To treat all races as equal and allow all the same chances; not allowing themselves to fall into the same pit they tried so desperately to escape from. Since its formation, Solyu has become a popular destination for Genasi across the world seeking to find fair treatment and protection from their aggressors.
