The '''Mascyllary colonial empire''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Maskillisches Kolonialreich'' {{wp|Help:IPA/Standard German|[ˈmaski:lɪʃəs ˈko:lo:ni:a:lʁaɪ̯ç]}}), also called the '''''Maskillisches Weltreich''''' (<small>pronounced:</small> {{wp|Help:IPA/Standard German|[ˈvɛltʁaɪ̯ç]}}) or '''Mascyllary ''Reich''''', constituted the overseas {{wp|crown colony|colonies}}, territories, {{wp|protectorate|protectorates}} and later {{wp|mandate|mandates}} under the rule of the [[Mascyllary Kingdom]] and [[Mascylla|Crowned Republic of Mascylla]] from 1793 onward. While attempts had been made by individual Mascyllary states in the centuries prior, and an expansive {{wp|colonial empire}} had been established by the [[Kingdom of Aldia]] in the 17th century, a distinction is generally made between these empires and that of the Mascyllary empire, given its exceeding size and amount of political and economic effort behind it.

A race for the yet unclaimed and uncontrolled territories of [[Caphtora]] and [[Pamira]] distributed by the [[Conference of Aniarro]], and the dissolution of the [[First Cuthish Empire]] and its colonial holdings enabled Mascylla to grow into the second largest colonial empire in history and rise as a {{wp|great power|global power}}. At its territorial peak in 1917, the Mascyllary empire and its mandates comprised more than 74 million inhabitants and X km<sup>2</sup> (X sq mi).

At its territorial peak in 1917, the Mascyllary empire and its mandates comprised more than 74 million inhabitants and X km<sup>2</sup> (X sq mi).


Following [[War of the Five Kings|Mascylla's unification]], the ''de facto'' successor state to the Kingdom of Aldia inherited its colonial empire in 1793, greatly bolstering international prestige and economic importance at first. Raw materials from the colonies were diverted to the metropole in exchange for manufactured items, keeping Mascylla's economic growth high while stimulating economic integrity with the colonies in order to tighten political unity within the empire. However, numerous politicians, led by [[Prime Minister of Mascylla|Wilhelm von Stenreck]], opposed Mascyllary {{wp|colonialism}} and favored milder policies in fear of Mascyllary security and ultimately unity at risk. Imperalist elements under [[Monarchy of Mascylla|Lukas II]] emerged victorious and masterminded a rapid expansion of the [[Reichswehr (Mascylla)|Mascyllary military]] and colonial economy, inadvertedly coming into conflict with the Cuthish Empire.

After the recovery from the [[Second Cutho-Mascyllary War]] (1839-41), Mascylla continued to grow economically thanks to the {{wp|Industrial Revolution}} and accompanying explosive urban growth, and seeking political allies in namely [[Albeinland]] and [[Lavaria]]. Continued expansion in overseas also covered vast {{wp|trade port|trade ports}}, crown colonies and dependancies throughout the world; however, most of Mascylla's power is chiefly derived from its exertion of prowess not only over its colonies, but also much of the world's trade that gave it {{wp|informal empire|control over economies}} in Pamira. Furthermore, the creation of ''Schutzmandate'' ('protection mandate') in sovereign states gave it political influence and thus an extension of Mascylla's unofficial {{wp|sphere of influence|spheres of influence}}.
After the recovery from the [[Alhstead Wars]] (1832–41), Mascylla continued to grow economically thanks to the {{wp|Second Industrial Revolution}} and accompanying explosive urban growth, and competed with [[Lavish Empire|Lavaria]] for much of the 19th century.

Furthermore, the creation of ''Schutzmandate'' ('protection mandates') in sovereign states gave it political influence and thus an extension of Mascylla's unofficial {{wp|sphere of influence|spheres of influence}}. The empire was also federalized with the establishment of the [[Federated Melasian States]] as a Dominion (''Herrschaft'') in 1904.


By the start of the 20th century, [[Second Cuthish Empire|Cuthland]] and [[Dulebian Empire|Dulebia]] openly competed with Mascylla's economic and colonial lead, further antagonizing and fueling the rivalry among Berea's major powers until it escalated into the [[Great War (Aurorum)|Great War]] in 1910. Although the war turned out successful for the [[Armala Coalition]] and ultimately Mascylla, it imposed enourmous strain on the empire's political capacity and economic and military resources, despite attempts to curb its stagnation through {{wp|war reparations}} and the confiscation of [[Cuthish colonial empire|Cuthland's colonial empire]] as [[Assembly of Nations|Assembly of Nations mandates]] under Mascyllary supervision. While it had risen even more as a global power and at its largest territorial extent, Mascylla struggled to maintain its situation as one of the world's pre-eminent powers, while an {{wp|economic boom}} eased tensions at first. The [[Melasian Crisis]] was a turning point of the empire, since despite Mascylla and Cuthland participating in peace negotiations and a stalemate, it was forced to grant [[Melasia]] independence, helping to accelerate the decline of the empire. With Mascyllary prestige damaged and a shift in favor of {{wp|decolonization}} by the [[Assembly of Nations]] in the 1950s, Mascylla recognized its need to disband its empire to sustainably secure its future position as a political and economic power, and opted to release its colonies voluntarily. The independence of X in 1994 and the confirmation of the AN in 1995 marked the official end of the empire. X colonial overseas territories still remain under Mascyllary sovereignty, and the empire's {{wp|German language|linguistic}} and {{wp|German cultur|cultural}} legacy is undisputable.

The Mascyllary colonial empire (Hesurian: Maskillisches Kolonialreich [ˈmaski:lɪʃəs ˈko:lo:ni:a:lʁaɪ̯ç]), also called the Maskillisches Weltreich (pronounced: [ˈvɛltʁaɪ̯ç]) or Mascyllary Reich, constituted the overseas colonies, territories, protectorates and later mandates under the rule of the Mascyllary Kingdom and Crowned Republic of Mascylla from 1793 onward. While attempts had been made by individual Mascyllary states in the centuries prior, and an expansive colonial empire had been established by the Kingdom of Aldia in the 17th century, a distinction is generally made between these empires and that of the Mascyllary empire, given its exceeding size and amount of political and economic effort behind it.

A race for the yet unclaimed and uncontrolled territories of Caphtora and Pamira distributed by the Conference of Aniarro, and the dissolution of the First Cuthish Empire and its colonial holdings enabled Mascylla to grow into the second largest colonial empire in history and rise as a global power. At its territorial peak in 1917, the Mascyllary empire and its mandates comprised more than 74 million inhabitants and X km2 (X sq mi).

Following Mascylla's unification, the de facto successor state to the Kingdom of Aldia inherited its colonial empire in 1793, greatly bolstering international prestige and economic importance at first. Raw materials from the colonies were diverted to the metropole in exchange for manufactured items, keeping Mascylla's economic growth high while stimulating economic integrity with the colonies in order to tighten political unity within the empire. However, numerous politicians, led by Wilhelm Fürst von Stenreck, opposed Mascyllary colonialism and favored milder policies in fear of Mascyllary security and ultimately unity at risk. Imperalist ambitions under Lucas II emerged victorious and masterminded a rapid expansion of the Mascyllary military and colonial economy, inadvertedly coming into conflict with the resurgent Second Cuthish Empire.

After the recovery from the Alhstead Wars (1832–41), Mascylla continued to grow economically thanks to the Second Industrial Revolution and accompanying explosive urban growth, and competed with Lavaria for much of the 19th century. Continued expansion in overseas also covered vast trade ports, crown colonies and dependancies throughout the world; however, most of Mascylla's power is chiefly derived from its exertion of prowess not only over its colonies, but also much of the world's trade that gave it control over economies in Pamira. Furthermore, the creation of Schutzmandate ('protection mandates') in sovereign states gave it political influence and thus an extension of Mascylla's unofficial spheres of influence. The empire was also federalized with the establishment of the Federated Melasian States as a Dominion (Herrschaft) in 1904.

By the start of the 20th century, Cuthland and Tsarist Dulebia openly competed with Mascylla's economic and colonial lead, further antagonizing and fueling the rivalry among Berea's major powers until it escalated into the Great War in 1911. Although the war was ultimately won by the Armala Coalition and therefore Mascylla, it imposed enourmous strain on the empire's political capacity and economic and military resources, despite attempts to curb its stagnation through war reparations and the confiscation of Cuthland's colonial empire as Assembly of Nations mandates under Mascyllary supervision. While it had risen even more as a global power and at the apex of its territorial size, Mascylla struggled to maintain its forward position as one of the world's pre-eminent powers.

The Fleicher Accord and Melasian Crisis were turning points of the empire, since despite Mascylla and Cuthland participating in peace negotiations and a stalemate, it was forced to grant Melasia independence, helping to accelerate the decline of the empire. With Mascyllary prestige damaged and a shift in favor of decolonization by the Assembly of Nations in the 1950s, Mascylla recognized its need to disband its empire to sustainably secure its future position as a political and economic power, and opted to release its colonies voluntarily. The independence of X in 1994 and the confirmation of the AN in 1995 marked the official end of the empire. X colonial overseas territories still remain under Mascyllary sovereignty, and the empire's linguistic and cultural legacy is undisputable.
