The Ok'lizuza Empire (Uzati: Ilcuanatl; Xocotec: Elcunatec), also known as Ok'lizuza, is an empire in Northern Kalavik bordering Mychenar in the south and indirectly bordering Earlsdein in the north. The Ok'lizuza Empire is believed to be one of the oldest nations in Kalavik, having roots as far back as 4000 BC according to some scholars. Ok'lizuza is the 14th largest country in Thegye, and the 2nd largest in Kalavik, behind Mychenar with a 548,688 square kilometer land area. As of 1387, the Ok'lizuza Empire is at war with the Qintuá tribe, and is expected to gain a significant portion of land after the war is completed.

Ok'lizuza was started as a small Uzati kingdom; however, it expanded to become the regional power of Northern Kalavik over time through conquering its neighbors and assimilating them through the Ok'lizuzati religion, Ulcheta. Through the conquests of the Ok'lizuza Empire, Ulcheta became among the most prominent religions in Northern Kalavik, and the empire itself, as 94.4% of all Ok'lizuzati are apart of the Ulcheta religion. This, among other things, has made the Ok'lizuza Empire a prominent country in the region. The capital of Ok'lizuza is Ilishtokqaal, which is the largest city in Kalavik with over 1 million inhabitants, it is also the most holy city in the Ulcheta faith, as it is believed that it is where life began.

The Ok'lizuza Empire is semi-isolationist when it comes to diplomatic situations, only really getting involved when need be. Ok'lizuza's military is known among neighboring countries as being formidable and determined, as one of the core tenets of the military is to never surrender to the enemy. This has resulted in many instances where the Ok'lizuzati military has fought battles where every soldier died in combat. Ok'lizuza is also known for being one of the only countries in Thegye to allow cannibalism, as it is seen as holy according to the Ulcheta religion.
