Amenria, officially named the Empire of Amenria (Chinese: 亚洲帝国; Indonesian: Kekaisaran Amenria), is a theocratic nation located in R1, stretching from the northern territories of Siberia to the southern coastal regions of Sri Lanka, and from the eastern borders of Korea to the western borders of Kazakhstan. With Tianshi as its emperor, Amenria operates under an absolute monarchy.

Amenria shares its eastern border with Orientia, an independent nation that emerged following the War of Dusk and Dawn. The relationship between Amenria and Orientia plays a significant role in shaping the geopolitical landscape of the region, fostering both cooperation and occasional tensions.

Amenria is renowned for having the highest concentration of Awakened in the world, due to its connection with God, which can be traced back to the Adamic Era, as Adam, Earth's first human and Muslim prophet, was sent somewhere in the Indian subcontinent following his exile from Heaven. These individuals possess extraordinary abilities and play a prominent role in the empire's spiritual and superhero communities. The significant presence of, and attitude towards Awakened (who roughly make up 2% of its population) contribute to Amenria's status as one of the leading nation in the fields of Spiritual Studies and Superhero Education, helping it stand at the forefront of innovation on all things supernatural, with its scientists and engineers pushing the boundaries of knowledge and leading groundbreaking research on such fields. The empire places great emphasis on education, healthcare, and social welfare, resulting in a high standard of living for its citizens.

Amenria's cultural diversity is reflected in its array of languages, with Chinese being the predominant language and seven other national languages. The empire's vast territory encompasses a variety of ethnic groups and languages Austronesian, Mongolic, Sino-Tibetan, and Kra-Dai language families. Languages of the Austronesian, Mongolic, Sino-Tibetan, and Kra-Dai language families. Amenria fosters a multicultural society that celebrates its rich heritage and encourages the preservation of cultural traditions.

The empire, while having a vast territory, is a sinocentric nation, representing an iteration of China within its universe. The empire's cultural, historical, and political influences predominantly stem from China, shaping its identity and governance.

Etymology

The origin of the name "Amenria" is unknown, although it has been speculated that it has connections to Tianshi's life as a human.

Its Chinese name means "Empire of Asia".

History

Pre-human Era

Amenria was the site of the Red Civilization, a militaristic Ghost nation with a lifestyle centred around metal, gunpowder, steam, and magma. It was the birthplace of Fuzanlong, the Elder Dragon of Passion.

Adamic Era

After being exiled from Heaven, Adam was sent to India, of what is now part of Amenria's southern regions. Angel Gabriel taught him how to survive through growing crops and baking bread, before advancing to find Eve.

After Cain's murder of Abel, Adam ventured to the west to relieve his grief. In his travels, he encountered the Great Dragon that could threaten the life of his children. The two fought, with the Dragon taunting him and stating that he was too powerful for the prophet to kill, prompting Adam to separate him back into the five creatures that constituted him. The creatures fled to various parts of the world and made their homes in different biomes.

After his return, Adam had two more sons; Seth and Yafits. After reaching adulthood, each married a huri; Seth married the huri Nazala and Yafith married the huri Mauzela. For unknown reasons, Yafits and Mauzela left for the planet of New Eden after their marriage. The couple made a deal with their in-laws. Every year, a son of Earth would be exchanged for a son of New Eden. Adam's descendants with the purest Hurite heritage settled in Central and East Asia.

Shortly after the death of Adam, both the Nodic and the Hurites built space stations in Earth's orbit, as a way to observe the humans without intervening them. The Hurites' was on the moon and the Nodics' was in orbit.

Antiquity

Contact with Indralokans

In 321 BCE, an Indian prince rode across the desert, saw a glimpse of a falling space object and decided to follow it. Upon reaching it's crash site, it was revealed that the object was a spacecraft from Indraloka. The prince ventured inside the spacecraft, and ran into the dying pilot. The prince's worthiness and bestowed upon him all the technologies, knowledge, and wealth in his ship, including the material Vajra.

The prince taught his people the secrets passed on to him by the deceased pilot. Over time, the Indian people's respect towards the Indralokans grew to a point of veneration, and the people began to worship these alien benefactors.

Early Relations with Nodics and Hurites

Several individuals from both the Lordship of Nod and the State of New Eden broke their non-intervensionist clause and interacted with humans.

A Hurite known by the name of Chang'e by the Chinese was impressed when a human med Houyi shot down nine large meteorites and saved his people. She had been observing him even before his heroic feat, and eventually became captivated and married him. She gave him a sample of a popular Hurite beverage, Elixir, unaware of its adverse effects on humans. Fortunately, he did not drink it and instead asked her to keep the sample on her person. She fled back to her station on the moon following her husband's death in a conflict, reuniting with her rabbit-like companion.

Another Hurite was sent somewhere in Japan as a baby, hidden inside a bamboo. She was found and raised by an elderly bamboo cutter and his wife, and was given the name Kaguya. As she grew older, her biological parents sent her telepathic messages of her true origin, which she kept a secret. She also refused to mate with humans over fears of the danger a human-Hurite hybrid would pose to young planet, she turned away her suitors by giving them impossible tasks.

At some point in history, she attracted the attention and affection of the emperor of Japan, frequently contacting each other through letters but still rejecting his advances, stating that she was not from Japan and therefore could not be his wife. She'd later announce her Hurite heritage and revealed that she would go to the Hurite station on the moon before leaving for her home planet. She was soon escorted by her biological parents' servants and the emperor ordered his men to stop them, only to be blinded by a flashbang grenade from one of the servants. She remained in contact with her adoptive parents and the emperor before taking a sip of Elixir and attaching the bottle, still containing some of the beverage to the letter for the emperor. The emperor wrote a reply, however, burned it along with the bottle he was sent.

In later years, Elixir was taught to be the secret behind the beauty and longevity of Hurites. For centuries, many popular figures attempted to brew their own versions and drink them, thinking they would gain immortality and unaware of the fact of its lethality to humans.

Nodics mingled among, and mated with several humans, resulting in the modern earthling vampires.

War of Dusk and Dawn

Main article: War of Dusk and Dawn

Amenria became entangled in a significant conflict, namely the War of Dusk and Dawn, that had profound implications for the nation. The clash between Mugen and Tianshi, two influential figures with extraordinary abilities, posed a challenge to the stability of the empire. The Rising Dawn, led by Mugen, emerged as a formidable rebel faction, challenging the authority of Emperor Tianshi and the existing monarchy.

The war inflicted widespread devastation and loss of life, leaving a lasting impact on the nation. However, it also marked the emergence of Orientia as an independent nation and the subsequent ratification of the Treaty of Jeddah. This international agreement aimed to regulate the activities of Superheroes and Awakened individuals, promoting a more controlled and secure environment within Amenria. The War of Dusk and Dawn holds significance in shaping the nation's history and the recognition of individual rights and freedoms among the Awakened. It stands as a testament to the sacrifices made and the resilience displayed by the people of Amenria in their pursuit of peace and progress.

Government and politics

Main article: Politics of Amenria

Amenria is a federal absolute monarchy. The nation's political system, known as Tiandao, combines elements derived from the political systems of Malaysia (federalism with each state ruled by local nobles), Brunei (authoritarianism, Islamism and a monarch with executive powers), and smaller elements from other former nations that inhabited its current territory. Under it, there are no political parties. In their stead are 8 (formerly 9) Major Noble Families with their own jurisdictions and home territories, with the Kirigakure Network's status as a Major Family being a secret and regarded as a subsidiary of the Angelheart Family with special privileges by the general public. All Major Families are equal to each other save for the Angelheart, the current ruling Noble Family, headed by the Heavenly Emperor himself.

Monarch

While Amenria is an absolute monarchy in theory, in practice, the current monarch, Heavenly Emperor Tianshi, and his wives take on the role of chief executives in the nation's day-to-day operations. He is also the chief legislator, allowing him to propose laws and legislations. The Heavenly Emperor serves as both head of state and head of government.

The monarch, and, to a lesser extent, his wives, represent Amenria in foreign relations. He is also the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Amenrian Armed Forces and is the only person allowed to declare war, barring the bearer of Command Zero.

Parliament

The parliament of Amenria is a bicameral legislature composed of the Monarch and the two houses: the Imperial Council as the lower house and the State Council as the upper house. The Imperial Council is formed by 135 councilors, with fifteen individuals from each of the 9 Major Families, appointed by the Patriarchs/Matriarchs of each Family from its members aged 14 and above with a term limit of 5 years.

Law

The legal system in Amenria is divided into two streams, Earthly Law and Cosmic Law, with Earthly Law covering secular matters such as theft, vandalism, and assault and Cosmic Law covering religious matters such as marriage, blasphemy and witchcraft. Since Shariah law cannot be applied to non-Muslims, separate courts are available for the adherents of every religion present in Amenria, with the largest non-Muslim courts being the Hindu court and the Christian court. Despite the secular nature of the crimes dealt with by the Earthly Law, it is still influenced by Shariah.

Foreign Relations

Much of Amenrian foreign policy is conducted by the Monarch, currently Heavenly Emperor Tianshi, with the Miao Coven and its Patriarch/Minister of foreign affairs, currently Miao Zeshi, having a subordinate role.

Amenria's foreign policy is generally isolationist in politics and military, both within its own Universe and in the Multiversal Community, while being internationalist in terms of trade, humanitarian aid and sentient rights.

Following The Vatican's global vampire hunt in the 2030s to early 2040s, Amenria and the Vatican signed the Olive Treaty, where the latter agreed to stop its extrajudicial killings of vampires outside of its borders in exchange for the former transferring control of the entire Italian peninsula.

Amenria joined the war against Octavia in mid 2048.

Military

Main article: Imperial Amenrian Army

The Imperial Amenrian Army is the armed forces of the Empire of Amenria. Despite it's small size relative to it's population, it is one of the best military forces on it's Earth, which spends around $279 trillion, 10% of the nation's GDP, resulting in a highly advanced, well-trained force with the best tanks in the world. Conscription has been theoretically put on hold since The War of Dusk and Dawn, but can be reactivated by imperial decree, despite being mostly regarded as nonexistent by most. The military consists of four branches, the Imperial Ground Force, Imperial Navy, Imperial Air Force, and Imperial Guard. The Imperial Amenrian Armed Forces is generally a defensive force, only being deployed off-universe under what is deemed a Multiversal Crisis by the monarch. Even in it's own world, it does not see much conflict outside the mainland barring counter-insurgency efforts in its colonies.

The Monarch serves as the supreme commander.

Economy

Agriculture

With the boom of vertical farming in the mid 2020s, Amenria inherited the numerous vertical farms in various Asian cities when it was founded. The majority of farms in the empire is owned by the Poornachandra Pack, with private, family-owned farms being few and far between.

Energy
