The Wallaceian Empire was a civilization in Dimension S-2020 located south of the Spawn area. The Empire was thought to have been lost following the Great Collapse, but was salvaged by the Library and transported to S-2012.

## History

The Wallaceian Empire was founded in 39AUC by Emperor Obama (Sjwallace500), south of the Spawn area. Shortly after its founding, missionaries from the Pontificate of Neo Boreopolis spread the Gospel of Eli to the capital, New Arcburg, and established a local branch of the Elinite Faith. In June of 39AUC, the religion had gathered so many followers within the Wallaceian Empire that a Diocese was established in New Arcburg. That same year, the Wallaceian Empire established its first colony; the Knights of Donnersmarck in the north. In August of 40AUC, good relations between the Empire and the Pontificate resulted in the Treaty of New Arcburg, establishing formal relations between the two nations. However, that same month, the Wallaceian Empire lost its first colony, the Duchy of the Isles, which under Governour General Dale White had rebelled against the Empire to form the Republic of the Isles of Birillum. In the Treaty of Birillum, the Empire was forced to accept Birillum independence, however, relations between the two nations would remain fairly positive.

In January of 43AUC, the Wallaceian Empire joined the International Community and became an active member. However, when months later, in March of 43AUC, the Unified Tribes of Chiyesa threatened the claims of the Knights of Donnersmarck, the Wallaceian Empire became involved in the 26 Minute War. Defending the claims of their subject, the Wallaceian Empire was victorious in the end, aided by the Kingdom of Desonia and the Republic of the Isles of Birillum, both of which joined after a Wallaceian peace delegation was ambushed. Chiyesa was forced to accept the borders of the Empire in the Treaty of New Arcburg and Emperor Obama could claim a major victory against the enemies of the Wallaceian Empire.

A golden age began, leading to the rapid expansion of both New Arcburg and new cities such as Port Wallace and Madtown. In October of 43AUC, the Empire announced massive rail projects connecting its cities, mostly to be underground. The works would be carried out by a state company, the Imperial Underground Rail Co., and would be completed by May of 44AUC. Also in May of 44AUC, the Empire joined the Pontificate in embargoing Chiyesa after the latter had banned the Elinite Faith within its borders. In June of 45AUC, the Wallaceian Empire, the Kingdom of Desonia and the Republic of the Isles of Birillum founded the Western Union in New Arcburg in an attempt to form a counterweight to the powerful Nations of the East. That same month, a rail connection was completed between New Arcburg and the Kingdom of Desonia.

During the Great War, the Wallaceian Empire would fight alongside Chiyesa and Birillum against the Duchy of Montecazzo, the Pontificate, the Empire of Wineghem and the Free Principality of Tomopolis. The war ended in a stalemate but had disastrous effects for the Wallaceian Empire. Not only did the Knights of Donnersmarck declare their full independence from the Empire, the Empire itself was also immersed into a civil war after external pressure from the Pontificate rallied followers of the Elinite Faith against "atheist elements" which had supposedly led the Empire on a path to war with the Pontificate.

Following the Great Collapse, the Empire was thought to have been lost to time. However, the Library managed to salvage remnants of S-2020. When the Empire was transported to S-2012 in 1144 AA (S-2012 date), it was still embroiled in a civil war. In addition, only a few minutes had passed in the minds of the Wallaceians, while the diaspora in S-2012 had already gone through several generations. This caused a minor temporal shock, but also new diplomatic opportunities. Intervention from the Pontificate eventually stabilized the Wallaceian Empire in favor of an Elinite government. As a result, the Empire eagerly participated in the Frozyland Accords of 1145 and subsequently became a member of the United Nations.
