The Empire of Babylon, commonly known as Babylon or Babylonia, is a sovereign state in Earth X, a polity centered upon the City of Babylon in Mesopotamia and spanning the majority of the Arabian peninsula, portions of North East Africa, and stretching past the Hindu Kush. The Empire also contains imperial holdings including the Adaman and Nicobar Islands, Sumatra, Northern Marianas Islands, Guam, Midway Island, Hawaii, and a colony in South America. It is bordered to the West by The Roman Republic, to the South by the Indian Ocean, to the Southeast by British Middle Eastern territories, and the East by the Indian Subcontinent. It is the world's largest nation by area, spanning some 9.3 million km2 (including territories) and population, surpassing 580 million people, and the world's second-largest economy with a GDP PPP of $20.45 Trillion.

The territory that now constitutes Babylon was inhabited by several ancient cultures and saw the birth of the Muslim faith. Ancient history includes portions of the Fertile Crescent, primarily ancient Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Successive empires in ancient history have battled for the lands now controlled by Babylon including the Romans, Greeks (through Alexander the Great), and the rise of Islam through the Umayyad Caliphate. While the city of Babylon has existed almost since time immemorial, the Babylonian Empire grew from a revolt uner the Umayyad Caliphate beginning in 697 CE which saw the Babylonians overthrow the government of the caliphate and establish a more inclusive empire bringing Arabs, non-Arabs, Muslims, and non-Muslims together under its banner. After the overthrow of the caliphate, much of lands of the Caliphate fell into Babylonian control. It was under Babylonian leadership that the Islamic Golden Age exploded. During the Age of Exploration as Roman explorers sought territories across the seas, the Babylonians followed suit, sailing through the Indian Ocean eastwards. In the 1600s, the Adaman and Nicobar Islands were annexed, in 1701, the island of Sumatra in Southeast Asia was conquered. In 1720, the Northern Marianas Islands and Guam were brought under Babylonian control and by 1796, the Hawaiian Islands also saw Babylonian colonization. During this time, Babylonian explorers also sailed southward, the westward around the Cape of Good Hope, up the eastern coast of Africa and eventually bring Babylonian colonization to a portion of the South American mainland in the late 1600s. Roman aggression towards the Arabs in North Africa and the Mediterranean coastline of the Middle East saw an evolution of tensions between Babylon and Rome, with the latter finally removing the Arab influence from much of its current territory and establishing the current borders in the late-middle 19th century. In spite of fierce competition in the past, the modern Babylonian Empire considered Rome a strategic partner in global affairs.

A global power, Babylon has one of the largest-standing armed forces in the world and is also a declared nuclear power and nuclear-weapons state. It is ranked among the most powerful nations in the world in terms of military, economic, and diplomatic power and is backed by one of the largest and fastest-growing middle class on Earth. Babylon's political history includes political upheavals , conflicts with neighbors and invaders, and the internal dissension between the various Islamic factions.  The empire is a founding member of the World Congress and has a permanent seat on the Security Council and has veto power. It is also a member of many international and regional organizations.
