The '''Arani Empire''', otherwise known as the '''Great Arani''' (Thakur:''महाअरणी''), commonly referred to as '''Nabiya''' is a {{wp|semi-feudal}} {{wp|theocracy|theocratic}}-{{wp|monarchy|monarchic}} {{wp|stratocracy}} located in central [[Nabaia]]. The Arani Empire is one of the most populous states in Levillion with a population of 112 million. The capital of the empire is located in the spiritual city of Sonaghar, whilst the most populous city in the empire is Sindhu, located on the empire's southernmost coast. The Arani Empire covers a vast territory and thus has multiple climates. Much of the empire is covered by a tropical and equatorial climate, with very hot temperatures for most of the year and high levels of rainfall within the empire's rainforest regions. Much of the empire is also made up of depopulated deserts, with the Sikata desert being the largest in the country. As a result, much of the empire's population is centred around the empire's coasts and rivers. The Arani Empire was historically one of the most powerful actors in the eastern hemisphere, with large levels of influence in Nabaia and the neighbouring continents. However, within the modern era the Arani Empire has seen its influence decline considerably due to the impact of Auressian imperialism as well as political and economic instability. The Empire's de jure ruler and spiritual leader is the Arani, or 'Great Mother', currently [[Arani|Bhandishtha IV]]. The Arani is also the head of the empire's official church, with the position boasting of an uncontaminated bloodline and descendance from the firstborn of Levillion.
The '''Sabarine Empire''' ({{wp|Latin|Sabarine}}: ''Imperium Sabarinum'') was a {{wp|empire}} which ruled over much of Auressia and parts of [[Idica]] between 412 BCE and 1819.  


Very little record exists of the civilisations which inhabited Nabaia prior to the rise of the empire, nevertheless, records that do exist tell of a number of dynasties which existed along the continent's coasts. Much of the inland however was believed to have played host to several nomadic peoples who mostly engaged in raider customs against their coastal neighbours.
Throughout their rule the Sabarines greatly influenced the culture, demographics and economies of the regions which they ruled, with many historians suggesting they laid the groundwork for the modern world as we know it today.
 
Sonaghar society quickly sprouted a powerful warrior culture with strong religious overtures. Soon the Sonaghar began to conquer and colonise much of their neighbouring territory, soon engulfing much of Nabaia. In 265 <small>BCE</small>, the Arani Empire was declared, with its domain extending across the rainforests and deserts of the continent. Despite its newfound power, the Great Arani soon found itself embroiled in conflict with its powerful neighbours, and internal disputes over succession and territory. However, in the Eighteenth century with rising Auressian influence and declining authority of the Arani, a group of military vassals, under their leader the Senapati, launched a successful coup to take over the governing duties of the Arani. As a result, much of the real governing power of the empire is vested in the Vriddhasangha, the Senapati and the warrior classes of the empire, whilst the Arani herself is merely a spiritual and figurehead leader.
 
Today, the Great Arani remains a influential, albeit economically poor nation with widespread inequality and poverty. The growing dominance of the warrior classes of the empire has led to fragmentation within the central government leading to the outbreak of a communist-inspired insurgency within the twentieth century which continues to threaten the dominance of the Sonaghar-led regime.

==Government==
The Arani is the head-of-state of the Empire and acts as the spiritual head of the Church of the Great Mother, the Empire's official faith. As the Arani's authority stems from her direct descendance from the mother of the universe and her first children, the Arani bloodline is required to remain pure. Therefore, the royal family have historically practiced {{wp|consanguinity}} in order to maintain the purity of the imperial bloodline, unless the fostering of an offspring outside of the family is absolutely necessary to secure the royal family's future. The Arani is forbidden from any direct marriages, as it is believed she is spiritually married to both her country and people, though there is a spirital expectation that the Arani would foster an offspring with a member of the Imperial family. As a result of many centuries of inbreeding, the royal family has become plagued with a number of genetic defects resulting in physical and mental deficiencies in its members, greatly impacting their ability to govern; a major factor in the Senepati rebellion. Additionally, the level of inbreeding present in the royal family has led to significant problems in fostering offspring, with many rulers being rendered infertile as a result. Therefore, in recent years an increasing number of Arani have taken to fostering their offspring outside of the royal family with members of the nobility or Samrajate.
 
Although nominally ruling as an absolute god-empress, the authority of the Arani is vested in the Council of Five and the Samrajate. Nevertheless, the Arani is still required to uphold her religious duties as the head of the church and to ensure the upbringing and posterity of the royal family. The religious duties of the Arani include the opening of church services in the capital every month, giving a spiritual address across each of the empire's provinces, distributing blessings or spiritual healings, as well as regularly praying for the future prosperity of the realm. Historically, the royal family has been known for its spiritual connections, with many of its members alleged to have various mystical abilities, which would be displayed imperial ceremonies.
 
===Government===
====Council of Five====
The Council of Five is the ancient advisory council to the Arani, which is tasked with enforcing the Arani's will and providing advice as to the best way to govern the realm. Whilst the Arani no longer serves any governing function in the empire, the Council of Five still maintains its position, though as an advisory body to the Senapati for political matters, and the Arani for matters spiritual. Since its inception, the Council of Five has been made up of Court Eunuchs, brought up through the ranks of the country's civil service. Most court eunuchs were kidnapped as young boys from their families either within the empire, or from foreign lands during wars. The practice of utilising eunuchs was twofold: eunuchs held no personal familial or territorial connections, making them prime candidates to govern in the interest of the realm; and as eunuchs, there is no risk of contaminating the royal bloodline from their close connection to the royal family.
 
Each member of the Council of Five is placed in control of specific Governing ministries of the Empire, these being the Ministries of Personnel, Revenue, Rites, Justice and Works. Whilst the Ministry of War was traditionally served by all members of the council during wartime, under the current administration, the Senapati is appointed as head of the Ministry of War. Official sessions of the Council of Five are held every season, for a total of four each year, or for emergency sessions under special circumstances. Official sessions involve the attendance of both the Arani and Senapati. However, when not in session, the Council of Five meet on a regular basis to discuss the business of government or any outstanding issues within the Empire.

The Sabarine Empire (Sabarine: Imperium Sabarinum) was a empire which ruled over much of Auressia and parts of Idica between 412 BCE and 1819.

Throughout their rule the Sabarines greatly influenced the culture, demographics and economies of the regions which they ruled, with many historians suggesting they laid the groundwork for the modern world as we know it today.
