Kalaidian Empire/Kalaidiad

The **Kalaidian Empire**—also known as the **Empire of Kalaidis**, **Kalaidian Military Governorate** or **Kalaidinas Aautokrata** after the Fall of Avarasia, and previously known as the **Governorate of Kalaidis** or **Kyvernis dis Kalaidis** prior to that event—is a theostratocratic empire and a military governorial empire and previously a military governorate located in the Kalaidian peninsula. Once formed by the Avarasian Empire, it became independent after the Fall of Avarasia, and has since then reorganized from a bureaucratic military governorate to a stratocratic empire with a theocratic institution helmed by its current empress, Borealis Norsoutha, said to be the descendant of the four goddesses Amaterasu, Sagittarius, Persephone and Ishtar.

## Organization and society

### Administration

The empire is formed and administered upon Eastern Aizegeran feudal principles, incorporating some of the Imperial Avarasian bureaucracy. The Emperor or Empress, who also holds the title of Governor-Militant, is the *de facto* leader and is assisted by a council, composed of the various military commanders and the Imperial Knights. This council had a major voice in the governance of the realm, especially in periods of regency, when the Regent (*moderator imperii*) was dependent on their consent to rule. The emperor/empress is the reigning sovereign, being practically independent of the council. They exercise authority over the empire by imperial and divine mandate. They also hold the title of High Priest/High Priestess of the Kalaidiam Imperial Cult and Pontifex Maximus/Maxima of the Pormasyneidic Temple, making them an extremely influential ruler.

As part of the organization reforms, the Kalaidian Empire's administrative personnel consisted of the following:
