The Third Empire of Evermore
The Third Empire is the largest single country on Illiria. It encompasses the entire continent, from the rainforests of the northeast to the badlands of the west. The Empire is feared as a mighty military power, as in addition to the troops it's client states can muster, it maintains a massive standing army in the form of the Dragon Legions.
Structure
The nations that comprise the Empire are largely independent. They choose their own leaders, form their own militaries, and reserve the right to declare war. However, significant taxes are paid to the Empire, in the form of gold, natural resources, and troops. The Empire enforces it's borders and laws via the Imperial Legion, and is ruled over by the Highest of Lords. The Empire also tends to give control of smaller territories over to larger ones, though this relationship usually resembles that between the nations and the Empire itself. For instance, while Dark Isle controls The Spear, the tribes of the Spear realistically rule themselves.
Public Agenda
The Empire makes no secret that it desires total domination of the continent. To that end, it goes out of it's way to ensure that from the outside it looks like a stabilizing, united force. The Imperial Diplomatic Corps especially works to spread pro-Empire propaganda in non-Imperial territories.
History
The Third Empire, as the name implies, is the third incarnation of the Empire of Evermore. With the death of his father, Richard VIII wed Theodora of Lancaster, uniting the two powers. Under his leadership, the Empire absorbed Giant's Leap in the Sevenstones War, and King Richard abolished the role of Emperor, instead stylizing himself Highest of Lords. Since the founding of the Third Empire, Imperial forces have been slowly crushing out dissent.
