The **Kovouhirian Empire**, commonly known as Kovouhiria, or Kovouhiri, named after the home planet of the same name, is a regional power in the Alpha Cluster, sharing a border with Proletaria and Fabria to the north and east, and Dorothemia to the west and south.

Founded from the Kingdom of Esox in Eaglebraid 1 (the start of the Empire's founding), Kovouhiri's modernization does not start until the Blackburn era, when the Emperor passed crucial reforms and led the future Whitewood Emperor to eventual first contact with the outside world.

## History

### Winter War

Before Eaglebraid 1, there existed the Keryth (Conflict) period, from Keryth 1 to Keryth 50, when the Winter War broke out between the warlords upholding the status-quo (who would form a temporary alliance known as the United Front) and the Kingdom of Esox (led by the Eaglebraid Emperor, who was Esox's king at the time) and its allies.

The United Front would initially be predicted as the victorious side until the Battle of Tamarsa Ridge on Keryth 53, which would end in an Autumn victory, which would result in Esox leading a full-scale Allied offensive against the United Front in Onosia, and on Keryth 59, the end of the status-quo came, and the Keryth period along with it, with the King of Esox coronating himself as the first Emperor of Kovouhiri.

## Government

Kovouhiri is a semi-constitutional monarchy with the Emperor and Prime Minister sharing state power together, and the Legislative Assembly passing legislation by both heads of the state and government. The Emperor is said to be a divine figure to the Kovouhirian people, considered a descendant, or 'holy son' of the Autumn goddess of peace, Tiziana, who years before the establishment of the Empire, is in perpetual conflict with Vasati, the Winter goddess of war.

### Military

The **Kovouhirian Imperial Armed Forces** is comprised of the Imperial Army (and its Special Operations Command), the Imperial Aerospace Force and the Imperial Guard (which split into 3 branches, the Palace Guard, Bodyguard and Vanguard).

### Foreign Relations

During the reign of the Bridgemold Emperor, the Kovouhirian Empire refreshes its relations with Fabria, and has growing positive relations with Proletaria since Proletarian volunteers were first seen on Inialos during the early stages of the conflict against the Tur-Tort Ascendancy.

Kovouhiri is now a member of the FPSO, an alliance between Fabria and Proletaria.

Kovouhiri currently refuses to recognize the Bastognist-led government who seized control after the Civil Conflict as a legitimate successor to the Kingdom of Sufronia.

## Astrology

Kovouhiri occupies 6 systems in the Alpha Cluster, and 33 systems in the Hevalia Cluster to its south.

## Demographics

### Species

The dominant species in the Kovouhirian Empire is the Kovouhirian Human, a type of Human native to the Empire's namesake planet.

### Religion

The Kovouhirian Empire's official religion is the Communion of Tiziana, a religious umbrella organization of countless Autumn cults across the Empire.

The Gathering of Vasati, another religious umbrella organization, this time of the Winter cults, would become the second, minor religion of the Kovouhirian Empire, besides the Communion of Tiziana.

## Economy

The Kovouhirian Empire, since the end of the Winter War, has prospered and thrived through reforms dating back to the Blackburn period, which has set the Empire up for first contact with other intergalactic nations through trade.
