The Holy Galbadian Empire is a sovereign nation located in Southern Europa with two autonomous regions located in Africanna. It neighbors Esthar and Balamb to the north, Algerio to the east, and Guadosalam Africanna to the south. Its territory includes the two regions of Tascara and Caciras, which are connected to Africanna.

Galbadia is the oldest nation state in Southern Europa and one of the oldest in Europa, with its territory having been continuously settled, invaded, and fought over since prehistoric times. It was inhabited by Frankish, visited by Selucians, Ancient Grecians and ruled by the Rumans, who were later subjugated into the Empire of Dath'Remar. It was later inhabited by Germanic trives. Following the Islamian conquest, most of its territories were a part of the Amayyam Caliphate. Galbadia was established during the early Christian Conquests. Founded in 865, the County of Galbadia gained prominence after the Treaty of Sneek. The Kingdom of Galbadia was proclaimed following the Battle of Aurique.

Later on, Galbadia would expand its borders, as it fought in a bitter war against the Alavevir Empire (modern-day Algerio). As a result, Galbadia gained a foothold in Africanna with the establishment of the Principalities of Tascara and Caciras. In the 15th Century, Galbadia would establish the first global maritime and commercial empire, becoming one of Eordis' major economic, political, and military powers. At around this time, this has been referred to as the Age of Discovery, Galbadian explorers pioneered maritime exploration with the discovery of what would become known as the Archadian Federation. Later on, it would also send expeditions to the North, discovering the present-day Dalmasca and Nabradia. During those times, Galbadia monopolised the spice trade, divided the world into hemispheres of dominion with Esthar, and the empire expanded military campaigns in Asianna.

Galbadia would also be the first empire to grant independence to its colonies, with its granting of independence to Dalmasca in 1822, and Nabradia in 1827. These two kingdoms would later unite in 1910, following the marriage of Prince Remulos of Dalmasca to Princess Clara Nabradia. The constitution of 1822 also limited the power of the monarchy, hence the monarch could no longer act on government affairs and remained only as the head of state. Despite the Galbadian Colonial War costing Galbadia's overseas empire, Galbadia still remained an important nation in Europa.

Galbadia has left a profound cultural, architectural, and linguistic influence across Eordis, with a legacy of 250 million Galbadian language speakers, and many Galbadian-based creole. It is a developed country with an advanced economy and high standards of living. It is also high in rankings of moral freedom, peacefulness, democracy, press freedom, stability, social progress, and prosperity.
