The '''Vierz Empire''' ([[wikipedia:German language|Vierz]]: ''Vierzes Reich'') was an {{wp|empire}} in central [[Patyria]] that lasted for much of the [[wikipedia:Modern_history#Late_modern_period|late modern period]]. It was founded in the aftermath of the [[First Apelic War]] in 1766, and was dissolved in 1990 as a result of the [[Werner Declaration]] following the [[Vierz Revolution]].
The '''Vierz Empire''' ({{wp|German language|Vierz}}: ''Vierzisches Reich'', {{wp|Low German|Hauvic}}: ''Wiersisches Riek'') was an {{wp|empire}} in central [[Patyria]].

It was founded in 1766 as a result of the unification of the [[Vierz Kingdom]] and the [[Vierz League]]. The [[Constitution of the Vierz Empire|constitution]] made [[Constantine the Great|Constantine I]] the first [[Emperor of Vierzland|emperor]] (or ''{{wp|Kaiser}}''). [[Adtrus]] was made the capital, and nationalist leader [[Friedrich Geiger]] was made its first [[Chancellor of Vierzland#Vierz Empire|chancellor]].


By 1830, Vierzland maintained the highest population in Patyria and the largest economy in the world. Vierzland had rapidly {{wp|industrialized}} and its population expanded to approximately 40 million people by 1850. It experienced swift {{wp|urbanization}} as a result of the {{wp|industrial revolution|industrial}} and {{wp|agricultural revolution|agricultural revolutions}}; Adtrus, [[Kasenberg]], [[Bertenau]], and other cities boomed in population and economic power. As a result of {{wp|colonialism}} and {{wp|imperialism}}, it maintained a [[Vierz colonial empire|large network of colonies]] and trade routes stretching from [[the Artalias]] to East [[Oridia]]. After its victory over [[Tierada]] in the [[Caberran Wars]], Vierzland asserted itself as a {{wp|great power}} with the [[Imperial Vierz Army|largest standing army]] and [[Imperial Vierz Navy|second-largest navy]] in the world.


As Vierzland attempted to maintain its {{wp|geopolitics|geopolitical}} influence, it became increasingly-isolated and hostile within Patyria. Demands for political reform and external pressures resulted in the outbreak of the [[Thirteen Years' War]]; [[Vonzumier]] gained independence after [[Vonzumier War of Independence|a war]] from 1865 to 1871 and [[Borland]] gained full sovereignty from Vierzland after [[Sovereignty War (Borland)|a war]] from 1858 to 1861. Defeats at home resulted in domestic reforms giving more power to the [[Reichsthing (Vierzland)|legislature]].
