The Shffahkian Empire (Lysian: Empire Sfaquien / Empire Sfakien, Cristenese: Impero Sfachiano) was a 19th-century nation that existed from its proclamation in 1802 to slightly past the death of its one, and only, emperor in 1848. It was mostly located in Central Aurelia. The Shffahkian Empire was a Representative Constitutional Monarchy under Emperor Eustace I. The Empire traces its origins to colonies of Limonaian City-States formed between 1498 and 1712 as well as the Lysian colony of Nova Lilium officially formed in the Chartre des Grands in 1691. Following the Shffahkian Revolution and the period of unrest thereafter, the Dassie Front led by General Eustache Eugène de Caldofondo-Bouvèron won a series military victories uniting the lands of Nova Lilium. Later in 1796, the Dassie Front now called the Continental Army would go on to declare war and win against the Limonaian Empire and the Confederation of Aurelian City-States in the First Shffahko-Limonaian War. Victory against the Limonaian Empire resulted in the annexation of the CCSA and other Limonaian holdings in Aurelia into the Shffahkian Empire which was declared shortly thereafter on February 12 1802. Eustache Eugène de Caldofondo-Bouvèron was chosen to be the emperor of the newly declared empire ascending to the throne in March of the same year. Upon his accession to the throne, Eustache I became the emperor of an ethnically-diverse, yet sparsely populated country.
