The Sabarine Empire (Sabarine: Imperium Sabarinum) was a empire which ruled over much of Auressia and parts of Idica between 412 BCE and 1819.

Historians generally divide the Empire into two distinct periods, the First Sabarine Empire from 412 BCE to 501 CE and the Second Sabarine Empire from 501 to 1819. Whilst the First Empire saw Sabarian territory cover Auressia and Idica under an autocratic system of government centred on the Emperor, the Second Empire saw Sabaria's borders retreat into Occidental Auressia with much greater power and autonomy vested in the vassals of the now elective emperorship.

Throughout their rule the Sabarines greatly influenced the culture, demographics and economies of the regions which they ruled, with the Sabarine systems of law and government still influencing modern states today. The Sabarines are credited with influencing the development of medieval systems of government as well as the spread of Perendism. Many historians argue that the Sabarine Empire was perhaps the most important and influential empire in history, laying the groundwork for the modern world as we know it today.

The Empire collapsed in the aftermath of the Great Upheaval as revolution toppled the rule of John III of Palia, with successive attempts to restore the monarchy under Philip IV of Barcia quashed at the 1816 Congress of Sabaria. In the years following the Empire was reformed into the Occidental Confederacy influenced by revolutionary ideas of republicanism and limited government. Whilst the Occidental Confederacy remains today, attempts to revive the empire in the 20th century under the rule of Gabriel Zárate are seen by some as a Third Sabarine Empire though such attempts were ultimately defeated with the surrender of Lancero Palia in 1943.
