The **Imperio Santo of Aztlán**, commonly called Aztlán, is a Constitutional Monarchy in Etharia. It is bordered on the North by the ᛋᛆᛘᛒᛆᛀᛑ ᛚᛁᚧᚡᛂᛚᛑᛆ ᚴᚮᚱᛆᛐᛆᛀ ᛋᚮᛋᛁᛆᛚᛁᛋᛐᛆ (Union of Kuratan Socialist Republics), & on the South by Nova Omsk. Aztlán has an estimated population of 129.2 Million. Aztlán, administratively, is comprised of multiple Kingdoms which is broken down to the individual Fiefdom level.

## Etymology

The term Aztlani is derived from the Asuteka. However, the term Aztlani was used more broadly to refer to the ancient homeland of the Native people within Aztlán. Thus representing a more broad term that includes the various native groups in Aztlán. The term was also picked during independence by Felix Götzen as a Nationalistic term that could forge a new identity for the fledgling country which had roots in the Asutekan culture of the country.

The standard way to refer to a citizen of Aztlán is "Aztlani".

### Indigenous Aztlán

Indigenous Aztlán encompassed several civilizations ranging from the forefathers of the Ōlmēka to the isolationist Mejkālāns & the Warrior Asutekans. Several complex civilizations would develop in pre-Seilderian Aztlán. However, the Asutekan Empire would be the greatest single indigenous Empire in the history of Aztlán. These civilizations would have several inventions to their names.

### Ninhundish Colonization & Colonial Rule

The Ninhundish would initially land in Aztlán in 1521. By 1523, they would conquer the Asutekan Empire & establish the Ninhundish Colony of Neue Branderland. Neue Branderland would develop a complex & robust economy centered around exports & mercantilism. In 1550, the colony would attack the Trekkish colony to the East. The colony would proclaim victory by 1555. This would bring about a large portion of the modern Aztlani borders under colonial rule. In 1586, the Colony would fight an over 40 year war against the Mejkālāns. This war would see religion be cemented in Aztlán as a pillar of society. Afterwards, Neue Branderland would mostly assist the Ninhundish in fighting the Southern Flondarians who sought after independence. Although this would later lead to Aztlán gaining its own independence from Ninhundland.

### Independence Era

Famous Reichskommissar & 1st Emperor Felix Götzen would win independence for Aztlán through diplomatic means. Felix would implement several measures in Aztlán that can still be noticeable today including the inspiration for the flag, the name Aztlán, & the title of Heiliger Kaiser. Felix would also found the von Götzen dynasty which would go on to intermix with the Uskovsky family to create the still reigning von Götzen-Uskovsky dynasty. However, Felix would be marred by several issues & he would eventually be couped out of office. This would lead to a short-lived Republic that would see several different regional warlords take office as Kanzler. Until a man named Christoph von Götzen-Uskovsky came to overthrow the reigning Kanzler & establish the 2nd Empire of Aztlán.

### The Dawn of the 2nd Empire

The predecessor to the modern Aztlani Empire. The 2nd Empire of Aztlán would see several revolutionary measures introduced under Christoph that would bring Aztlán closer to modernity. However, the Empire would be plagued by the rule of Otto von Götzen-Uskovsky once Christoph had died. Otto would be the single worst Emperor in Aztlani history. Otto would be responsible for the Humiliation War, the sale of Aztlani land to Southern Flondarians, & the overall degeneration of Aztlán & Aztlani culture. Otto would eventually be couped out of office in a fashion similar to his great grandfather. As Otto had legitimized no children, the Crown would pass to Maximilian von Götzen-Uskovsky. Maximilian would prove to be a competent, decisive & revolutionary Monarch for Aztlán. He would revolutionize Aztlán through several measures just as his grandfather did. However, Maximilian would also bear the price of his Uncle's sin. Maximilian would lead the country when it delved into the Humiliation War against Thenegach & eventually Cynedryca. Aztlán would lose the Humiliation War & have several harsh measures placed on it by the Southern Flondarians.

### The Dreadful End

After the Humiliation War, Aztlán would go through the August Revolution & Krämer dictatorship. After this, the country would enter the reconstruction era. As the country recovered & began to grow... the early 1900s hit. A period of isolation would engulf the country as the economy stagnated. That is until the War to End the World came around.

### The War to End the World

In 1914, the Michise-Aztlani bastard Xicohtencatl Zun would coup dying Heiliger Kaiser Ehren von Götzen-Uskovsky out of power & announce the creation of Xinmei. Once Xicohtencatl seized the throne, he would immediately announce preparations for war. Contemporary historians believe that Xicohtencatl had an inferiority complex & sought to make up for it by seizing everything he could. After just 6 months, Xicohtencatl would declare war on Ninhundland, Michu, Galaveria & Eladistan. He would also ally with Thenegach under the pretense of spreading democracy despite Aztlán being a Monarchy. The von Götzen-Uskovsky dynasty would be exiled to Michu during this time. It is believed that this would heavily influence the dynasty which would lead to the creation of the Order of the Asutekan Eagle award. An award that is heritable & only handed out to the closest confidantes of the imperial family. Anyways, Xinmei would lose the conflict & the von Götzen-Uskovsky dynasty would be reinstalled by the victorious powers.

### The Eagle Rises Once More

After Xinmei, the Third Empire would be proclaimed once more. The Noxirae party would cement its power as the ruling party under Heiliger Kaiser Xiutecuhtli. From here, the country would recover from the devastating Great Depression & prepare for WW2.

### WW2

During WW2, Aztlán would invade Thenagach alongside Ninhundland. Aztlán would ultimately come out victorious. However, Aztlán would secure a peace deal to ensure the country was not dragged into a long lasting war. Occupation was handed over to Ninhundland. After this, Aztlán would invade the Union of Kuratan Socialists Republics. This conflict would be grueling & destructive, but Aztlán would once more come out victorious. It would re-annex the island of Tletl from the UKSR & repay the humiliation Aztlán endured in the 1880's. Moving forward, Aztlán would act as a neutral power in the larger context of WW2. Although full relations with Cynedryca were completely severed for years. Relations with Khaw Si Khaw & Keaa Si Kheiyw would improve, namely with Keaa. Aztlán would also seek to ally itself with Michu in the aftermath of the war. Once Aztlán saw the destruction of the Ninhundish regime, it knew it had to make other allies. Aztlán would also act as a haven for Ninhundish refugees post-WW2. The most famous of which being Gerhardt Himdach's daughter Hipper who stayed in Aztlán.

### Post-WW2

After WW2, Aztlán recognized the precarious geopolitical position it was in. Ninhundland was destroyed. Michu was far away in Hezrana. The Cynedrycans & Kuratans were close & deadly. Thus Aztlán began to formulate a new way to tackle the imbalance between small, regional powers & large superpowers. Hence came the formation of C.A.N. or the Confederation of Anphilos Nations. Formed as a multinational organization exclusive to Anphilos Nations, Aztlán viewed it as a way to make friends & prosper. Founders of the organization include Aztlán, Khaw Si Khaw & Keaa Si Kheiyw, Thenegach, Vinberland, & Noremacia. From here, Aztlán would mainly focus on C.A.N & Anphilos matters.

### Cold War

During the Cold War, Aztlán found itself occupied with several matters. The UKSR would invade the country, hoping to regain Tletl. The conflict would favor Aztlán & the island was kept. Aztlán would also experience a Marksist & indigenous revolt in the 70's-80's but the revolt would be brutally crushed. In the aftermath, Aztlán would focus on itself. Although the Drug War would begin to see its roots laid down.

### Modern Era

During the 2000s, Aztlán would mainly focus on managing the Cartels. The beginning of the Drug War would occur. The country would also begin to cool relations with Cynedryca. Although eventually, the country would go further & further into ruin until the Aztlani Civil War kicked off.

## Geography & Climate

### Geography

Aztlán is host to a diverse & varied biome. From the vast, dry expanses of the West to the rocky & lush jungles of the East. In the West, tourists can enjoy the hot, arid climates of the Aztlani deserts. Whereas in the East, tourists often traverse the dangerous mountains or bountiful forests of the Mejkālā. Although Central Aztlán has it's own pull as it features the more mild sights of grasslands.

This geography translates into several climates for Aztlán. In the West, there is low precipitation & intense heat waves which have led the areas to be dominated by dust storms & droughts. Although the East features more vibrant weather. The East plays with Rain & Storms. Although small hurricanes have been seen here or there.

## Government & Politics

### Government Form

Aztlán is a Constitutional Monarchy. At the top, the Holy Emperor is considered the greatest leader of Aztlán second only to the Caudillo. The seat of the Emperor is hereditary, only Males are allowed to inherit the throne. Females have been barred from ever being considered for the throne of Aztlán. The Holy Emperor must be crowned in Tenochtitlán at the Catedral Real or Royal Cathedral.

### Political Divisions

Modern Aztlán is divided into 20 Tahtocayotls. Not to be confused w/ the Tlahtocayotl which is the supreme sovereign polity. A Tahtocayotl when translated into Widonian roughly translates into State. Each Tahtocayotl enjoys jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory where it enjoys sovereign power in service to the Imperial Throne.

### Cynedryca

Cynedryca is one of the few Nations that has been viewed with hostility for much of history by Aztlán. Ever since the 1880's war, Aztlán has resented Cynedryca & consistently tried to undermine it or minimize it's influence in Anphilos.

### Michu

Michu has been historically friendly & popular with Aztlán. Despite the treatment of the Michise-Aztlani community, the Aztlani Government has often found itself on friendly terms with Michu.

### Ninhundland

The colonial homeland of Aztlán. Relations have always been solid. Aztlán has always supported Ninhundland despite the many flaws apparent in Ninhundland's government.

## Economy

### International Trade

Before the civil war, Aztlán exported up to ₳500,000,000,000 goods annually to several countries while importing approximately ₳450,000,000,000 goods annually from several countries. Top exports included automobiles, vehicle parts, computers & semiconductor materials. Top imports included automobiles, refined petroleum, office machinery, & telephones.

In terms of trade, Aztlán's greatest trading partners vary far & wide. In terms of total trade, Michu is the largest trading partner with over 20% of Aztlani trade being concentrated towards the country. This differs when it comes to exports & imports. In terms of imports, Ashia is the largest nation which Aztlán imports goods from. However, Thenagach & Ninhundland make up Aztlán's largest export destinations. As billions upon billions of Autlaua's worth of goods get shipped out to these countries every year.

Aztlán also has a burgeoning service economy that continues to grow year after year even in the wake of the devastating civil war. Aztlán's greatest service sector would be it's travel industry followed by it's air transportation industry. Worth billions upon billions of Autlaua's. These factors have been included in many a study on the strong & alive tourist industry both internationally & domestically within Aztlán as hotel chains & seasonal tourist traps dot the coast of Aztlán.

As even the Government focuses on producing propaganda which emphasizes the beauty & relatively cheap cost of living within Aztlán. This has also been one of the focal points that has drawn both praise & criticism in the realm of politics as Aztlán has continued to struggle with lax laws on travel that have been proven to increase ease of access for criminal elements to spread their influence.

## Demographics

### Population

The Population was last recorded as being at 129,250,000 according to the latest census

### Race

The following is the racial / cultural breakdown of Aztlán

### Religion

Aztlán follows the Asutekayotl Religion. Asutekayotl is a separate religion established during the Dark War. It is the dominant religion in Aztlán & is unique in that only Aztlán follows the religion officially. Outside of Aztlán, the religion is mainly propagated by Aztlani expats or descendants.

## Culture

### Language

Nawa-Brander is the official state language of Aztlán. A combination of Branderlandish & Nawatoru. Following this, Branderlandish is the 2nd most popular language. Followed by Michise & Ashian. Widonian, despite being the lingua franca of the world, is not spoken widely within Aztlán. This is mainly attributed to censorship on the part of the Government. While this has made it more difficult for outside influence to penetrate Aztlán, it has costed Aztlán much economic growth in the way of business deals, partnerships, etc.

## Infrastructure

Infrastructure is fantastic within Aztlán. Much of it revolves around the burgeoning automobile industry within the country. Historically, the army has constantly been engaged in Public Works projects to ensure the Army does not become too powerful. Hence why Aztlán has such a great infrastructure system.
