Aztapamatlan ({[wp|Nahuatl}}: 𐐈𐑆𐐻𐐰𐐹𐐰𐑋𐐰𐐻𐑊𐐰𐑌, lit. "Ruled by the Heron"), colloquially known as the Empire of the Heron, was a powerful multi-ethnic polity across southern Oxidentale and Malaio founded and dominated by the hegemonic city state of Angatahauca which served as its capital and imperial metropole. Contrary to the common understanding, Aztapamatlan was not a classical Empire such as the dynastic theocracy of the Mutulese or the dictatorial monarchy of the Latin Empire. Instead, Aztapamatlan was ruled since its earliest days as a republic in which power was vested primarily in the Nahuanized Purépecha ruling class who where the military and political elite of society. These elites, known as the Eagles (Cuauhtli in Nahuatl or Wakusicha in Purépecha), wielded outsized political power within the republic, controlling most of the elected offices of the government, the legal and legislative systems, and thus exercising control over the rights and status of the many subject and citizen populations under their control. Aztapamatlan was the first state to unify what is now the country of Zacapican, and is considered the main precursor to the modern Zacapine state which was established by the popular uprising which overthrew the Angatahuacan Cuauhtlatollo and marked the official end of Aztapamatlan. The Aztapaman empire lasted for 964 years (1160 years if the pre-imperial history of Angatahuaca is included), making it one of the longest lasting states in the history of the world and far outstripping the lifespan. This longevity is explained by the adaptability of the Aztapaman military and government, its willingness to adopt new technologies, practices and political reforms throughout much of its history, and its xenophilic cultural outlook which enabled the state to more easily integrate diverse subject peoples on two continents.
