The Makedonian Empire (also called Makedonian Realm or simply Makedon) was an ancient kingdom in Syara before rising to become an empire and one of the biggest powers in ancient Siduri. Makedon was originally founded by Epikharmas in 556 BCE, who established the Kineasan Dynasty that would serve as the Makedonian monarchy until 1987 CE at the end of the Refusal War. Home to the Ancient Makedonians, Makedon in it's earliest state was centered in northern Syara, bordered by Ruvelka to the east, Galania to the south, and Scitaria to the west.
Before the 3rd Century BCE Makedon was one of several competing nations within Syara, distinct for it's professional and well trained army. In 246 BCE Orestes II ascended to the throne and began a campaign of conquest across the rest of Syara. Between 238 to 227 BCE Orestes conquered much of Ruvelka, Mansuriyyah, and Arkoenn, while defeating the Sardaran and what remained of the Erani Empire. Makedon continued to slowly expand over the course of several centuries, leading to conflicts with the northern Bosrei, the Chalna Empire, and the various steppe nomads of central Siduri. Friction with the Hannashka and the Hayern Migration between the 3rd and 5th Century CE preceeded the eastward expansion of the Empire into Quenmin under Deinokrates III, which led to conflict with the Sabrian Empire in what became known as the Sabrian Wars, during which the Empire reached it's territorial apex.
The outbreak of the Burning Plague in 825 CE is generally considered to mark the decline of Makedon. Syara lost approximately 25% of the population, crippling the Empire's taxation system and military manpower and leading to a demographic crisis. Makedonian influence outside north-western Siduri began to decline as various vassal states and satrapies declared their independence through the 10th and 11th centuries. The outbreak of rebellions in Quenmin and the rise of Islamic caliphates in the south further weakened the empire, eventually leading to the rise of the Arkoennite Empire which reduced Makedonian influence in central Siduri further. By the 13th century Makedonian influence no longer extended past the Matra and Kurilla Mountains. The Arkoennite victory at the Battle of Nemaro effectivley ended Makedon's independence and is often cited as the end of the empire.
Makedon's influence was felt throughout Siduri. At it's peak, the Empire ruled over approximately 10 million square kilometers of territory, and presided over 90-120 million inhabitants. The prominence of the Empire spread Hellenic culture throughout Tyran, including the Indo-Hellenic Arosiananda Kingdom and Hellenic migrants in the Liúşai League. Considerable debate reigns in regard to the Fall of the Makedonian Empire and the nature of the Empire itself. Among these debates is the moniker of "Empire"; the Makedonians never utilized the term, nor did they make any real effort to incorporate the people they conquered into their domain beyond their status as taxable subjects. The nature of the Empire's dissolution is also a matter of discussion as the Makedonian throne, government, and military continued to operate as the governing body of Syara under Arkoennite rule.
