The Aayan Empire (Mahanan: Āyana Sāmrājya or आयन साम्राज्य) was an iron-age empire in Oriental Europa, based around the Patuan region of Mahana and Mekabiri. At the empire's greatest extent, it spread from southern Kotowari to northern Mekabiri and west through the great plains of central Europa. The empire was centralised by the first emperor's conquest of the Careleon Plateau.

At any time, the empire was led by an absolute monarch, the emperor. The most famous of these emperors was Emperor Ujesh who established recorded history in Mahana during his religious pilgrimage in 53BC.

Etymology

The word 'Aayan' is believed to have come from the old name 'Āyana' which meant 'Prosperous'. This means that the name Aayan Empire roughly translates to 'Prosperous Empire' in old {{wp|Gurung language|Gurungi} tongue.
