The Divine Imperium of Salvia (Salvian: Tapinus Imperium dox Salva; Aroman: Divinus Imperium Salveae), historically known as the Holy Salvian Catholic Empire (Salvian: Salvan Tapinus Imperium Catholicum; Aroman: Sanctum Salvae Imperium Catholicum) was a medieval and early modern monarchy in Marenesia. It was among one of the most powerful states of the early modern era, dominating regional politics and extending its influence throughout the New Wurld through colonization and conquest. From the late 15th century to the early 18th century, the Divine Imperium controlled overseas territory in the New Wurld and in Marenesia Minor. It was also one of the wealthiest empires in the 16th and 17th centuries and exerted considerable economic and political influence throughout its territories.

Declared by King Joseph I following his coronation by Pope Leo VI, the empire swiftly expanded its Marenesia holdings and experienced a medieval renaissance with culture and the arts flourishing. The arrival of the $$$$ Plague and severe infighting during the Salvian Wars of Religion would result in a steep decline in population, with modern scholars estimating the death toll to be between one-fourth and one-third of Salvians. The societal upheaval that this caused almost led to the collapse of the empire, however a series of several competent emperors restored the empire and ushered in the Magnaere Progresient.
