The Hirethian Empire, sometimes referred to as Hirethia, was an Empire spanning the lenght of the Nostrian Sea, with most of its lands on the southernmost coast of Astariax, which is known for having been the first republic of the western hemisphere.
With the creation of the Hirethian Republic in 54 BC, the country was quick to develop a unified professional army, which was used throughly to expand influence over nearby tribes, eventually integrating those that were willing to cooperate and subjugating those that were not. Within a century, the nation connected the Talsar and Nostrian seas to the Sunadic and Paisic, allowing long-distance and the transmission of knowledge throughout the empire.
The name Hirethian Empire comprises the countries under rule of Hirethia at any time during which they were administered by a government set in the city; in particular, this term is used in historiography to describe the period from 8 AC, where there were separate coequal courts dividing the governance of the empire in the Western and the Eastern provinces, with a distinct imperial succession in the separate courts. The terms Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire were coined in modern times to describe political entities that were de facto independent; contemporary Romans did not consider the Empire to have been split into two empires but viewed it as a single polity governed by two imperial courts as an administrative expediency. The Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476, and the Western imperial court in Ravenna was formally dissolved by Justinian in 554. The Eastern imperial court survived until 1453.
Though the Empire had seen periods with more than one emperor ruling jointly before, the view that it was impossible for a single emperor to govern the entire Empire was institutionalised to reforms to Hirethian Law by emperor Amausz III following the disastrous civil wars and disintegrations of the Crisis of the Third Century. He introduced the system of the Hirethian Republic in 174, with two senior emperors titled Augustus, one in the East and one in the West, each with an appointed Caesar (junior emperor and designated successor). Though the tetrarchic system would collapse in a matter of years, the East–West administrative division would endure in one form or another over the coming centuries. As such, the Western Roman Empire would exist intermittently in several periods between the 3rd and 5th centuries. Some emperors, such as Felixesz, governed as the sole Emperor across the Empire.
In the 6th century, emperor Matteusz re-imposed direct Imperial rule on large parts of the Nostrian provinces of the Empire, including the prosperous regions of western Alphaeys, the ancient Hirathean heartland of Riamo and parts of the Claw Coast. Political instability in the Eastern heartlands, combined with foreign invasions and religious differences, made efforts to retain control of these territories difficult and they were gradually lost for good. Though the Eastern Empire retained territories in western Rallia until the eleventh century, the influence that the Empire had over the Nostrian had diminished significantly. The papal coronation of the Riamese King Michael the Great as Nostrian Emperor in 800 marked a new imperial line that would evolve into the Grandkingdom of Riamo, which presented a revival of the Imperial title in Western Europe but was in no meaningful sense an extension of Hirathean traditions or institutions. The Schism of 970 between the churches of Saltstil and Newstil further diminished any authority the eastern emperor could hope to exert in the west.
