The **Grand Imperial Kingdom of Vasil and Eurasian Empire** (Russian: Великое Императорское Королевство Василя и Евразийская Империя tr. *Velikoye Imperatorskoye Korolevstvo Vasilya i Yevraziyskaya Imperiya*; French: *Grand Royaume Impérial de Vasil et Empire Eurasien*; Latin: *Regunm Vasilum et Imperii Eurasiani Magni Imperialis*), also referred to as the **Eurasian Empire** or **Eurasia** or simply as the **Empire**, is a nation born based from the Kingdom of Vasil and its Declaration of Eurasian Supremacy that led to the ten classic antiquity regions to voluntarily submit under one rule in 777 IK. It is the world's dominant military superpower that ruled almost a quarter of the entire world, gaining half due to its further conquest, after overthrowing the control of the Ancient Roman Empire.

For the past two thousand years, the Eurasian Empire successfully conquered and expanded their territory over Asia, Oceania and Antarctica during three expeditions: the War of Eurasian Supremacy, the Great Conquest, and the Oppression of Asia (the Eastern Campaign and the Third Pacific War).

The remaining remnants of the world belonged to the Colonial Coast, the Republic of America, the African Federation, the African Conglomerate, the Georgian Empire and the Chinese Confederation, with the previous becoming an equivalent power to theirs, and the latter two submitting willingly to the Empire for exclusive authority and becoming a protectorate.

## Etymology

The official name of the Empire was "Grand Imperial Kingdom of Vasil and Eurasian Empire". It was a nod to its ancestry of being a successor to the former Kingdom of Vasil, and a subsequent name of becoming an empire occupying the Eurasian continent.

## History

### The Creation of the Empire

In year 304 BC, Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus (Rullus) of the Roman Republic, a war hero, ordered General Septimus Iacobus, a young general during the Samnite Wars, to observe and travel the plains of the lands north and east of the current Republic. The truth, Rullus ordered Iacobus in hopes that he would no longer return in fear that the latter will have much greater power than him in the future.

Iacobus, along with his troops, was caught in a war among the native tribes of the explored land. They were welcomed by the Stevhren tribe, believing Iacobus to be the second coming of their god when he successfully negotiated with them that he'll help them in defeating their neighboring enemy tribes. Due to his intelligence and wisdom in warfare, his leadership had been regarded by everyone. He and his men, after three years of fighting for the local tribes, decided to stay than to return back to the Roman Republic under the rule of Rullus.

Iacobus managed to unite the tribes that comprised the present-day Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Moscow region of Russia; and he was elected as the leader of their newly united civilization whom he named as the Kingdom of Vasil. Since then, they created their own calendar based on their kingdom's creation, having 301 BC as 1 IK; and also changed his name as "Iakov Vasilyev". He married Regrida, the daughter of Elaraes, the head of the Stevhren tribe, and he became known as "Iakov the Warrior".

### The Eurasian Supremacy

Three months after the death of Lavrenty, 31st High King of Vasil, in 712 IK, his son and heir, Valentin II, waged war against the Ancient Roman Empire, starting the War of Eurasian Supremacy. Due to his successive victories against the Roman Empire, the latter slowly lost its stronghold as the Kingdom of Vasil took its lands. It was said that Valentin II had spies inside the Roman Empire that largely contributed to their early winnings in battle, and he became known as "Valentin the Conqueror".

For sixty-five years, the war continued on, until the Ancient Roman Empire finally fell. However, neither Valentin II nor his son, Nikolai, reigned at the defeat of the Empire; but Artyom, Valentin II's grandson and Nikolai's son. It was him whom formulated the creation of the Eurasian Empire with the "Declaration of Eurasian Supremacy", something that had been left on as a will of his ancestors. The ten classic antiquity regions of Britannia, Dacia, Germania, Graecia, Hispania, Italia, Illyria, Scandinavia and Thracia voluntarily submitted to his rule on 4 September 777 IK. The Kingdom of Vasil was changed as the Eurasian Empire and Artyom was the first one of the Empire's emperors to be regarded as "Lord Emperor and Autocrat of all Eurasia, High King of Vasil, The Radiant Aelius Sun of the Empire".

### The Great Conquest

The Empire's so-called "Great Conquest" started at the ascension of Elizaveta the Gentle's youngest son, Alexander IV in 1518 IK after naming himself as emperor at the death of his parents and siblings during the wedding of Tsesarevich Anatoly Alexandrovich Vasilyev and Princess Shira of Israel, later dubbed then as the Belladonna Wedding. On his ascension to the throne, Alexander IV didn't say anything that will link him to the incident but it was heavily implied that it was his doing, leading for him to be dubbed as "Alexander the Terror". It was also during his reign that the Social Darwinism system for the Eurasian throne was introduced.

The following year, in 1519 IK, he married Veronika Petrovna Makarova, whom he had known just for two months. Due to the growing uneasiness among the nobles, he ordered the purge of most of noble houses due to their corruption and abuse of power, leading to the formation of the Circle of the Union Stars and only the members of the Circle to be granted the nobility status. The Noble Purge lasted three years, and only then he set his eyes in fully focusing his attention to the Empire's war against Israel and its allies, after announcing war against the Empire since the Belladonna Wedding.

In just the next five years, the Eurasian Empire successfully defeated and occupied Israel, the Palestinian territory, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as other countries decided to switch sides before the total end of the first wave of the Great Conquest.

It was only in 1891, three hundred and sixty four years later since the Eurasian Empire focused its campaign on the first wave, did they officially closed the chapter of the Great Conquest, successfully occupying the rest of the Middle East consisting of Yemen, Oman, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. It wasn't a continuous war, but the countries became provinces of the Empire after countless waves of the Great Conquest that lasted more than ten years; compared to the great feat that Alexander IV had done with the first wave.

### Age of Reform

#### The White Rose Scandal

On July 1980, during the wedding of First Tsarevna Marina Anatolyevna Vasilyeva to a rich Spanish businessman, Samuel Racionero, Sixth Tsarevich Alexander Anatolyevich Vasilyev and Second Tsarevna Alyona Anatolyevna Vasilyeva appeared as each other's partners and were found to be together the following morning, which started the rumor that they were involved in an incest relationship with both of them yet to make their social debuts later of the same year. Heightening to the scandal, and for the first time in the history of the Empire, Alyona was escorted by Alexander than her chosen personal knight.

The following year, during the Seasons of 1981 IK, the two were caught in a precarious situation by Lady Violetta Cusenza, the wife of their elder brother Second Tsarevich Eduard Anatolyevich Vasilyev, fanning the flames of their incest relationship.

In order to quench the rumors and conceal the onslaught of scandals surrounding, their father, Anatoly III, decided to marry off Alyona to their other elder brother, Fifth Tsarevich Dmitri Anatolyevich Vasilyev, who was also surrounded by a scandal of favoring men, in 1983 IK. During the consumation ceremony, it was rumored that it was Alexander who bedded Alyona, while Dmitri was in the company of his favored men. By the summer, Alyona decided to spend summer at the Alexander Palace, and Alexander accompanied her there; while Dmitri and the rest of the imperial family stayed at the Iakov Palace. The summer was dubbed as "The St. Petersburg Scandal of 1983 IK".

For the next seven years, Alyona gave birth to six children who were acknowledged by Dmitri, though the rumors remained that the children were actually fathered by Alexander instead.

#### The First Half of the Anatolyev Crisis

On 27 May 1990 IK, Anatoly III died. It was known that ever since his children made their social debut, the factions of nobles and even the Circle of the Union Stars had varying opinions of who they were to support for the throne. Despite the introduction of the Social Darwinism since the reign of Alexander IV, most successions had been relatively in favor of by birth right. Hence, Anatoly III's eldest son, First Tsarevich Afanasy Anatolyevich Vasilyev, succeeded him as the 66th Emperor of the Eurasian Empire and 99th High King of the Vasil Empire. Their father's death brewed a war among the siblings, marking the beginning of "The Anatolyev Crisis".

## Geography

The Eurasian Empire mainland occupies the entire Europe, Antarctica and Russia. Due to its history of conquest, it had spread its territories by occupying provinces of the entire Asian and Oceanian continents, except for the lands of the Georgian Empire and the Chinese Confederation, which surrendered beforehand and was *de facto* territories of the Empire as protectorates. Due to that, the Empire shared maritime borders with the rest of the nations in the world.

The mainland empire was separated from the Colonial Coast on the east by the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and on the west by the Norwegian Sea and North Atlantic Ocean. It was also separated from the African Federation at the south by the Gibraltar Strait, Tyrrhenian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea; and bordered countless Provinces, the Georgian Empire and Chinese Confederation at the south. Their Antarctic colony region was surrounded by the Southern Ocean that separated it from the Republic of America, African Confederation, and other Provinces.

With the occupation of Provinces that gained their immense territories, they have full control of the Pacific Ocean that separated them from the Colonial Coast and the Republic of America on the east. They also have great control of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden toward the Red Sea and Suez Canal separating it from the African Federation and African Confederation on its southwestern most occupied Provinces.

The Eurasian Empire's mainland occupied about a quarter of the world, and with its Provinces and Protectorate, it resulted for the Empire to occupy half of the entire world; making it the largest coalition, with or without colonized territories.

### Major cities

The capital of the Empire was the Imperial Capital of Vikla in Croatia. The capital was divided into two: the Inner Sector and the Outer Sector, separated by the Ivory River that stretched around the perimeter of the Ivory Wall.

The Inner Sector was the exclusive property of the imperial family where the Grand Imperial Vikla Palace, the largest palace in the entire world and considered to be the emperor's official residence, was, being flanked by the Alexia and Astilla Gardens. Aside from that, the Inner Sector also featured the Aelius Palace, Lucilla Palace and the Apollo Palace within the grounds of the Astilla Garden, which were the residences of the emperor's, empress's, and the tsesarevich's household, and also the Aleksandr IV Airport that privately served as an air base within the Inner Sector. It also featured the Veronika Palace, a smaller retreat or summer palace, and the Imperial Cathedral of Our Lady Derzhavnaya within the grounds of the Alexia Garden.

The Outer Sector, however, featured the remaining palaces that was owned by imperial consorts, tsareviches and tsarevnas of age to have their own households, extended members of the imperial family, high ranking nobles, and primary offices of the Empire's governmental body.

The whole city, however, was destroyed by the Fifth Tsarevich Sergei Fyodorovich Vasilyev using his ***XXX*** equipped floating fortress, Midas, in 2318 IK as a retaliation against Emperor Ionafan. Later on, it was also rebuilt to how it originally was with a few changes concerning technological advancements.

The Empire also considered Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia as one of their major cities, since most of the imperial family has villas or palaces there as well. Such as the ***XXX*** in Moscow, which is the residence of the imperial family there. The Iakov Palace was the summer residence and became Ionafan's temporary residence at the time of his reign when Vikla was being constructed once again after it was destroyed; the Elizaveta Palace that was given by Fyodor to his beloved consort Josephine, and to where the latter was murdered; and the Sagittarius Villa where Parsifal Wagner resided for some time and was stated to be Fyodor II's treasured residence as well, were all in St. Petersburg.

## Politics

The Empire was a unitary absolute monarchy, meaning that the imperial family holds most or all governmental power, though there is also a bicameral legislature in effect, at least in the Empire's homeland. The original delegates were known as the **Circle of the Union Stars**, who represents the Eurasian mainland as nobles. The highest position among the Circle is that of Fifth Tsarevich Sergei Fyodorovich Vasilyev, who had been in office as the Prime Minister since he was eighteen years old.

While the policies of the Empire vary depending on the reigning monarch, its succession is either based on Social Darwinism or Divine Mandate as their name would suggest. The Empire originally followed the Divine Mandate until Alexander IV the Terror claimed the throne by killing his entire family during the Belladonna Wedding, that consequently responded to the Social Darwinism that led to much bloodshed and in-fighting to occur between members of the royal family; where the one who wanted to become the next monarch has to lie, cheat, and murder their way to the top.

However, the prospect of the Social Darwinism didn't last most of the time. Alexander IV's children didn't adapt it, and still continued on with the Divine Mandate. The Social Darwinism did existed during the Anatolyev Crisis, where siblings murdered one another in revolt to their sibling's reign; and during the Terror of 2279 IK.

There were two different types of nobles in the system: the Circle of the Union Stars, which was the hereditary nobles; and the new noble, who raised in the ranks for their wealth. Compared to the hereditary nobles, the new noble or the lower nobility did not possess lands but were given titles. Instead, they control much of the business and bureaucracy outside the imperial family and the Circle, and judging by the number of legal and illegal businesses that appear in the Provinces, capitalism was widely encouraged.

The residents of Provinces could become Honorary Eurasian citizens, and while not genuine Eurasian or free from discrimination, they were entitled to the same basic rights. Those who refused to accept honorary citizenships were consigned to live in rundown ghettos, while those who did accept may live in the prosperous Eurasian colonial cities.

## Religion

The Empire is a nation of free religion according to the citizen's will. The Empire, at the time of its creation had adapted serving Slavic gods and goddesses. However, at the sprout of Christianity and in retaliation to its great competitor, the Ancient Roman Empire, the Eurasian Empire embraced Christianity right away. But with their disagreement with the Western Church, it's imperial family and nobilities, as well as majority of its citizens, practiced Eastern Orthodox; though in the recent times, there were more Western Christians. The imperial family retained its faith with the Eastern Orthodox and were crowned as such.

## Military

>

The Eurasian military includes all Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire. It is believed to be the largest, most powerful and most technologically advanced military power in the world. It was headed by the Emperor, acting as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, followed by the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Defense and Minister of Interior, and that of the Chief of the Defense Staff. There were countless branches of the armed forces, which was as followed:

* Ministry of Defense
* Ministry of Interior
* General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire
* Services of the Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire
	+ Eurasian Military - Army
	+ Eurasian Military - Navy and Coast Guard
	+ Eurasian Military - Air and Space Force
	+ Eurasian Military - Marine Corpse
	+ Eurasian Military - National Police
	+ Eurasian Military - Imperial Guard
* Independent Troops of the Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire
	+ Knights of the Colossae Council (Class I Knight)
	+ Knights of the Imperial Family (Class II Knight)
	+ Grandmasters of the Stone Table (Class III Knight)
	+ Knights under the Imperial Family's Unit (Class IV Knight)
* Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire
	+ *Upravleniye Sekretnoy Razvedkoy*/Secret Intelligence Operation Control (USR)
		- East Asian Region
		- West Asian Region
		- South Asian Region
		- Southeast Asian and Pacific Region
		- North African Region
		- South African Region
		- North American Region
		- South American Region
	+ Supreme Intervention Enforcement Group of Eurasia (SIEGE)
		- Intelligence and Research Division
			* Division Alpha
* Military Sectors of the Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire
	+ Central Military Sector
	+ Northern Military Sector
	+ Southern Military Sector
	+ Eastern Military Sector
	+ Western Military Sector
	+ Other Military Sectors
		- St. Petersburg Military Sector
		- Vladivostok Military Sector
		- Antarctica Military Sector

Each sector of the military has their corresponding work for the improvement of security and technological advancement. For example, SIEGE is the Empire's Chevalier development unit, focused on the improvement and creation of not only Chevaliers but also subsequent armaments and weaponry; and the USR is an espionage intelligence agency of the Empire that primarily focused on the gathering, reading and safeguarding of national security against foreign control and conduct which was overlooked by members of the Circle of the Union Stars.

During the reign of Emperor Ionafan, the Knights of AEGIS became part of its military circle, and majority of the Independent Troops and the USR were abolished in favor of the newly created Order of Aquilius.

The **Grand Imperial Russia and European Empire** (Russian: Великая Императорская Россия и Европейская Империя tr. *Velikaya Imperatorskaya Rossiya i Yevropeyskaya Imperiya*; French: *Grande Russie Impériale et Empire Européen*), also referred to as **Eurasian Empire** or **Eurasia** or simply as the **Empire**, is a nation born based from the former Vasil Empire and its Declaration of Eurasian Supremacy during the Lutetia Convention. It is the world's dominant military superpower that ruled over half of the entire world that sprouted from power by overthrowing the control of the Ancient Roman Empire.

For the past two thousand years, the Eurasian Empire successfully conquered and expand their territory over Asia, Oceania and Antarctica during three expeditions: the Great Conquest, the Oppression of Asia, and Third Pacific War. The remaining remnants of the world belonged to the Colonial Coast, the Republic of America, the African Federation, the African Conglomerate, the Georgian Empire and the Chinese Confederation, with the previous becoming an equivalent power to theirs, and the latter two submitted willing to the Empire for exclusive authority.

## History

### The Creation of the Empire

On year 290 BC, Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus (Rullus) of the Roman Republic ordered General Septimus Iacobus to observe and travel the plains of the land north and east of the current standing of the Republic. Rullus was a war hero and a soldier alongside Iacobus during the Samnite Wars, and Rullus wanted to expand the Republic by sending Iacobus and his men to the expanse of the northeastern region. The truth, Rullus ordered Iacobus in hopes that he'll no longer return in fear that the latter will have a much greater power than him over the Republic. Iacobus was about to return back with his men to the Republic successfully when they found the civilization of the Stevhren tribe, in which they've agreed to help. Once they've won the battle, the Stevhren tribe asked them to stay and made Iacobus their leader. Though reluctant, Iacobus inquired his men who've all agreed to stay with him by saying that none of them were willing to return back to the Roman Republic under the rule of Rullus.

Iacobus was then elected as leader and married Princess Regrida of Stevhren. He changed his name as "Iakov I of Vasil" with the first scope of the so-called Vasil Empire comprising of present-day Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Moscow region of Russia. Since then, the Eurasian Empire had been a great and strong competitor towards power with the Roman Republic, even at the latter's change to an empire.

### The Declaration of Eurasian Supremacy

On 755 Imperiya Kalendar, Feodor III (Feodor the Conqueror) waged war against the Ancient Roman Empire that started the War of Eurasian Supremacy. For twenty years, the war continue on, ending with the fall of the Ancient Roman Empire. Speculations has it that Feodor III had people inside the Ancient Roman Empire that contributed to his victory. At that time, he formulated the creation of the Eurasian Empire with the "Declaration of Eurasian Supremacy" with the ten classic antiquity regions of Britannia, Dacia, Germania, Graecia, Hispania, Italia, Illyria, Scandinavia, and Thracia, that voluntarily submitted to his rule. He made himself known as Feodor III of Vasil, 22nd Emperor of the Eurasian Empire and of the Grand Imperial Russia, acknowledging then the emperors that had gone before him. He also considered Russia as his, his ancestors and his descendants' "homeland".

### The Great Conquest

The Empire's so-called "Great Conquest" started at the ascension of Elizaveta the Gentle's son, Alexander III (Alexander the Terror) on 1519 Imperiya Kalendar after naming himself as emperor after murdering his parents and siblings during the Wedding of Crown Prince Anatoly Vladislavich Vasilyev and Princess Shira of Israel. It was followed by his campaign about the eradication of every faction in the nobility and aristocracy who were against his reign that had been known as the Noble Purge. Afterwards, at the death of Princess Shira, Israel declared war against the Empire that prompted the Great Conquest.

During the Great Conquest, eighteen independent countries had fallen as the first provinces of the Empire: Israel, Palestinian territory, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Oman, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and Pakistan. One of Alexander III's greatest feat as well was his interest of Antarctica, making it one of the Empire's fully fortified and strong military force farthest from the mainland.

The Empire's greatest rival at the time as well had been the joined forces of the Georgian Empire and the Chinese Confederation hence the campaign had ended on 1853 Imperiya Kalendar, by Yulian II (Yulian the Peaceful). He announced the end of the Great Conquest at the Empire's inability to make the countries on the Pacific relent due to the support of the Colonial Coast and Republic of America.

### The Terror of 2265

On 2265 Imperiya Kalendar, First Prince Andrei Yakovich Vasilyev's wife, was sexually assaulted and murdered under the impression that it had been an accident. Andrei conducted a thorough investigation and found out that the one behind the murder was his younger brother, Seventh Prince Leonid Yakovich Vasilyev. Before exacting revenge, Andrei and his entire household was massacred. Unknowingly for Leonid, two sons of Andrei, his eldest Peter and fourth son Fyodor, managed to escape and had gone into hiding for the next ten years. Since that time, the children of Yakov VII had begun their war for the throne. The most likely heir had been Leonid and was about to start his reign by killing the current emperor but found Yakov VII already dead; apparently killed by the missing and now all-grown up Fyodor. With the support of his older brother, Peter, who has no interest with the throne, Fyodor took the Eurasian Empire's throne on 2275 at the age of 23 years old.

### Oppression of Asia

Fyodor had announced the continuation of Alexander III's campaign of the Great Conquest on 2297 Imperiya Kalendar. It had come as a surprise that Fyodor had attacked on the countries around the Georgian Empire and the Chinese Confederation. In less than a decade, the Empire succeeded in taking control of India, Sri Lanka, North Korea, South Korea, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Knowing that it is a lost battle, the Chinese Confederation surrendered to the Empire just five years since the oppression started in an agreement that it will continue having its own form of government and instead be considered an ally of the Empire, which was granted.

The Georgian Empire had isolated itself from the rest and landlocked their territory for nine years, only opening negotiations with the Eurasian Empire when King Pavel Antkowiak of the Georgian Empire had sent his son, Crown Prince Leon Tamaz Antkowiak, to the Eurasian Empire in exile. Compared to the Chinese Confederation, the Georgian Empire had been under a puppet government with the monarchy having no power over its people due to the revolution that started to overthrow the royal family. The Empire helped the monarch of the Georgian Empire gain control while actually the very ones pulling the strings.

The Empire ended its campaign when the Colonial Coast had been a great threat to them as it continues supporting the rest of the countries on the Pacific as well as simultaneously attacking the mainland of the Empire with the Republic of America, African Federation and African Conglomeration attacking them in almost all sides.

### Treaty of Donetsk

On 2309 Imperiya Kalendar, the Eurasian Empire enter into an economic treaty with the Philippines, accepting the latter's proposal to aid it in its efforts against terrorism and in return will have a higher collection of the precious Gold Diamonds that the Philippines is known to be the one with the most resources of it compared to other countries of the Far East. Additional to the treaty is the exile of Eleventh Prince Jonathan Alexander Lawrence Fyodorovich Vasilyev, Eleventh Princess Marianna Yuliya Fyodorovna Vasilyeva, and Crown Prince Leon Tamaz Antkowiak, who is the previous two's maternal cousins once removed, to the Philippines as investment that the Empire will not use the treaty as an opportunity to invade them.

On 8 March 2309, the three were sent to the Philippines as promised, and the rest of the treaty had been ratified as mentioned to take effect as soon as possible.

### Third Pacific War

Intelligent reports had reached the Empire as early as late 2309 Imperiya Kalendar that the Philippines had been the Colonial Coast's pet for them to have legal possession of the Empire's armaments, using it to mass-produced such in the event that the Empire will invade them. So, on February 2310, the Empire made a surprise attack to the rest of the remaining unoccupied countries in the Pacific. As short as three months, the Empire managed to subjugate them and firmly stamped their claim as the superpower nation that no one must dare cross. The countries of Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Brunei, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Australia had befallen before the Empire dared attack the Philippines at the end of April where they introduced the usage of their Chevaliers to the world into battle.

In a matter of two weeks, on 10 May 2310 Imperiya Kalendar, the Empire attacked and invaded the Philippines. Crown Prince Leon of the Georgian Empire was retrieved to have survived after being saved by the Empire; while the Eleventh Prince Jonathan and Eleventh Princess Marianna of the Eurasian Empire were listed as among of the casualties. However, the latter two had changed their identities after being supporting by the Ruslov family, a supporter of their mother's family.

## Geography

Prior to the invasion of the Philippines, the Eurasian Empire comprised of the entire Europe, Antarctica, Oceania and most of the countries in Asia. It was stated that the Philippines was the last to fall from the Asian countries to be under the Empire, after roughly 1500 hundred years since the Empire's Great Conquest.

### Major Cities

The capital of the Empire is the Imperial Capital of Vikla, Croatia—where the **Grand Imperial Palace of Vikla**, the largest palace in the entire world, considered to be the Emperor's official residence and of the entire Court, is. The whole city of Vikla though was destroyed by Sergei using his XXX equipped floating fortress, Midas. The whole city, though, is where the Eurasian Imperial Family resides in different districts according to the closest to the inheritance of the throne, and also of the Circle of the Union Stars.

The Empire also considers Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia as one of their capital cities since most of the Eurasian Imperial Family has villas on them as well. Such as the XXX in Moscow that is the residence of the Imperial Family staying in the city. The **Iakov Palace** in St. Petersburg becomes Jonathan's temporary residence at the time of his reign when Vikla was being constructed once again after it was destroyed. The **Elizaveta Palace** that was given by Fyodor to his beloved consort Josephine, where Jonathan and Marianne spent their childhood with their mother, and Josephine was murdered; and the **Sagittarius Villa** where Jonathan temporarily resides as Parsifal Arcilla and stated that the villa was one of the Emperor's treasured residence as well, were also in St. Petersburg.

## Politics

The Empire appears to be an absolute monarchy, meaning that the Imperial Family holds most or all governmental power, though there is also a bicameral legislature in effect, at least in the Empire's homeland. The original delegates of Europe were known as the **Circle of the Union Stars**, who represents the European countries as nobles. The highest position among the Circle is the Second Prince Sergei Fyodorovich Vasilyev, who had been in office as the Prime Minister since he was fifteen years old.

While the policies of the Empire vary depending on the reigning emperor, its succession is either based on Social Darwinism or divine mandate as their name would suggest. During the first forty-three emperors, they issued the divine mandate until Alexander III, the 44th Emperor, claim the throne by killing his entire family during the wedding of Crown Prince Anatoly Vladislavich Vasilyev, that consequently responded to the Social Darwinism which much bloodshed and in-fighting occurs between members of the royal family; one who wants to become the next monarch has to lie, cheat, and murder their way to the top.

Lower nobility controls much of the business and bureaucracy outside the Royal Family and the Circle of the Union Stars, and judging by the number of legal and illegal business that appear in occupied countries, capitalism is widely encouraged. The residents of the conquered nations can become Honorary Eurasian citizens, and while not genuine Eurasian or free from discrimination, they are entitled to the same basic rights. Those who refuse to accept honorary citizenship are consigned to live in rundown ghettos, while those who accept it may live in the prosperous Eurasian colonial cities.

### Iakov I until Elizaveta's Era (1 IK until 1519 IK)

Iakov I proclaimed himself as a Russian king from where the Eurasian Imperial Family are all descended from. Between his descendants' reign, the first born son is the heir to the throne, following the divine mandate. Women are able to ascend to the throne, with Sophia the Sun, being the first to ascend to the throne on her own right, and their sons were given the right to ascend after them. However, Yekaterina never married throughout her reign that she was succeeded by her cousin's son, Dmitry II; and Anna was succeeded by her daughter Anna II, who've died young and was succeeded by Anna's uncle due to the order of succession of who's closest to being the child of Iakov I.

### Alexander III until Fyodor's Era (1519 IK until 2318 IK)

Alexander III, the youngest son of Elizaveta the Gentle, became the 44th Emperor when he succeeded in murdering his entire family for the right to the throne. Fyodor murdered his grandfather and uncle with the help of Peter Andreyevich Vasilyev, his older brother who've abdicated the inheritance to the throne, becomes the 76th Emperor. Between them two, their whole lineage have been fighting over for the throne. Both though have their belief and mostly followed an ideology of Social Darwinism.

The emperor himself does hold most of the governmental power in theory; he delegates regional control to his many children in practice and even those that do not govern a particular region also have considerable political and military power. He does not even make exceptions for their children, as they shows no sympathy for their deaths, only pride in that those who cannot fend for themselves are being culled from the royal line.

#### Imperial Family and Nobility

Outside the imperial family, there were numerous noble ranks during Alexander III's era that remained until Fyodor's era, listed here in order of importance, with the Emperor/Empress at the top:

* Imperator/Imperatritsa of the Eurasian Empire and Tsar/Tsarina of All Russia (imperial family)
* Tsesarevich/Tsesarevna of the Eurasian Empire and Grand Duke/Grand Duchess of All Russia (imperial family)
* Tsarevich/Tsarevna of the Eurasian Empire and Grand Duke/Grand Duchess of All Russia (imperial family)
* Grand Duke/Grand Duchess of Eurasia (imperial family)
* Duke/Duchess
* Marquess/Marchioness
* Earl/Countess
* Viscount/Viscountess
* Baron/Baroness
* Knight (non-hereditary)
* Knight of Honor (non-hereditary)

### Jonathan's Era and the New Europe (Since 2318 IK)

When Jonathan Alexander Lawrence Fyodorovich Vasilyev ascended to the throne during 2318, he quickly abolished many policies that grew during the eras between Alexander III and Fyodor. This included the elimination of the aristocratic system, serious penalties for financial conglomerates engaging in or part of illegal or illicit activities, and the abolition of the cutthroat system with the conquered countries to slowly gain their independence. This led to a rift among the Eurasian citizens with discontent among ex-nobles and approval among the commoners, causing agents and loyalists to Jonathan to routinely set out to put down dissidents.

After the failure of Refrain, he signed letter patents that issued the Knights of AEGIS's core members to be granted nobility titles that causes the creation of the Order of Gallia Reims as part of military and of the Circle of the Independent, another house of representatives equally like the Circle of the Union Stars; that causes much anger among the ex-nobles. But when X Code, originally a sworn enemy of the Union, became Jonathan's advisor, the riots had died down for the masked figure became a political symbol for the nation in aiding the emperor with politics. He also bring forth the accord of the divine mandate like the first emperors had done.

## Religion

The Empire is indeed a nation of free religion according to the citizen's will. The Empire, at the time of its creation had adapted serving Slavic gods and goddesses. However, at the sprout of Christianity and in retaliation to its great competitor, the Ancient Roman Empire, the Eurasian Empire had embraced Christianity right away. The Imperial Family were baptized as Christians but were crowned without the divine mandate since Alexander III's reign until Fyodor's reign, where they just proclaim themselves as emperors.

Jonathan and his younger sister, Marianne, were baptized as Roman Catholics because their mother is one. Jonathan as well declared himself as emperor without divine mandate but was crowned afterwards with the acknowledgement of the Pope a few days after his announcement, ensuring that Jonathan ruled as a Catholic monarch. His half-siblings had been also baptized to the faith after the letter patents he issued were announced that they can only have the claim to the right to the throne after conversion. Jonathan was also married to his empress consort, Vivienne Wilson, under the Roman Catholic faith, and their children were also baptized under such as well.

## Military

> *Main article: Eurasian Military; SIEGE; USR; Knights of AEGIS; and The Order of Gallia Reims*
>
>

The Eurasian Military includes all Armed Forces of the Eurasian Empire. It is believed to be the largest, most powerful and most technologically advanced military power in the world. SIEGE is the Empire's Chevalier development unit, focused on the improvement and creation of not only Chevaliers but also subsequent armaments and weaponry. USR is an espionage intelligence agency of the Empire that primarily focused on the gathering, reading and safeguarding of national security against foreign control and conduct; overlooked by the members of the Circle of the Union Stars.

During Jonathan's reign, the Knights of AEGIS had been considered as part of its military core as per the accords of the United Order of Nations' resolution regarding military power. The Order of Gallia Reims is a secret force that replaces the USR's primary goal.

## Demographics

It is unclear when the term "Eurasian" was coined in the history of *Eden Reckoning*, but when used as an ethnic descriptor, it seems only to refer to citizens whose ancestry was from the Eurasian countries right after the War of Supremacy, regardless if the family was from Russia. Instead, Eurasians opted to also use their secondary ethnicity such as being "Eurasian" because one is also a "Russian" or "French" or "English". There are also some Masques who may also live under Eurasian rule, all of whom may become "Honorary Eurasian". All conquered countries though are given another name after the previous emperors and empresses of the Empire, except for the Philippines, and their citizens were referred as "Masque".

## Calendar

The Empire uses IK or "Imperiya Kalendar", also called as the "Imperial Calendar", which is dated from the first year as 298 BC. It uses the old and almost outdated Julian Calendar which is exactly calculated as 365.25 days, indicating that each year is eleven minutes late than that of the Gregorian Calendar. The Imperiya Kalendar is not to be miscalculated to the Gregorian Calendar. The year, however, is 298 years ahead than that of the current calendar. With this in mind, it should be noted that the first book of *Eden Reckoning*, *Reboot*, dated to be year 2317 in-universe is equivalent to our history's 2018. Also, having said that, if Jonathan Carter was born on 22 November 2299 Imperiya Kalendar, Jonathan's birth was on 5 December 2000 in the Gregorian Calendar.

However, due to the letter patent of Emperor Jonathan on 2318 Imperiya Kalendar, the Empire eradicated the usage of the Julian Calendar and had made use of the Gregorian Calendar. The last day that the Empire had made used of the Julian Calendar was on 11 December 2318 Imperiya Kalendar; the following day, the Gregorian Calendar had been used, hence 25 December 2318 Imperiya Kalendar.

## Flag

The flag of the Eurasian Empire, officially known as **The Imperial Phoenix** (Russian: Императорский Феникс tr. *Imperatorskiy Feniks*) is a horizontal bicolor flag with equal bands of blue and red, featuring a golden symbol of a fierce mythical phoenix in the middle with five five-pointed white stars at each five fore-wing tips while bearing a red imperial crown on top.

The phoenix is based on the Russian folklore of the immortal bird's existence, and the golden color signifies "immortal gold". The ten five-pointed white stars acknowledge the ten classic antiquity regions in Europe: Britannia, Dacia, Gallia, Germania, Graecia, Hispania, Italia, Illyria, Scandinavia and Thracia. The red crown signifies "glory" and "imperialism". The band of blue signifies "honor and dignity" and the band of red signifies "bravery and sacrifice".

The flag is supposed to be used by all of the Empire's government agencies. It must be flown at all times in all government buildings, be hung at the great hall of such establishments, and be seen in the office of the highest commanding officer in each department. Each vehicle of the Empire must be adorned with the flag, and be painted with its markings such as planes, ships, tanks, emergency cars, Chevaliers, etc. Start-up of Chevaliers should also feature the flag, followed by the manufacturer's logo or the Chevalier's own logo. Official documents, except for espionage ones, must be marked as well with the flag; such as the document papers as well bear the symbol of the Empire.

One distinct feature of the flag is that it is never, for it is against their law, to be hang vertically. It is supposed to always be hanged horizontally. Hence, when flags were hanged in the throne room and imperial chapel during celebrations related to the imperial family, the flags are hoisted to poles instead of being draped on.

Since only the Emperor of the Eurasian Empire has a personal standard, all members of the imperial family are subjected to use the Empire's flag. In the case of the Emperor, it is necessary to use both his personal flag and the Empire's flag, though he might decide otherwise. An example had been Emperor Fyodor, who opted to use both at the same time to make it known to everyone of his presence; however, Emperor Jonathan decided not to have his standard be flown at the same time with the Empire's flag during the Great Shift, only ordering for it to be hoisted at the start of the battle to make his presence known.
