The Fallish colonial empire was comprised of the overseas colonies and territories that came under Fallish control after the 17th century. The Fallish empire was one of the largest empires in terms of land area and in terms of population. In 1917, the Fallish empire had a total population of X and controlled X% of the world's population. The Fallish empire brought considerable wealth to Falland and cemented it's position as a major power.
Attempts at creating an overseas colonies had began after the conclusion of the Seventeen Years' War. The first permanent colony was established in 1542 with the establishment of Port Carleton in Alvinia. Further outposts were set up along the coast of Pamira. By the turn of the 20th century the Kingdom of Falland had one of the largest empires in the world and territories in every continent. The Silerian War for Independence exacerbated internal tensions and led to the Fallish Civil War and the declaration of the Fallish Federation. The Fallish empire fell into a period of chaos before the new Fallish government could reestablish control over the overseas territories.
The Constitution of 1954 granted the overseas territories further autonomy and the establishment of autonomous legislatures, whilst Falland maintained control of foreign, defence and fiscal policy. After this the Fallish empire slowly began to dismantle itself. The Fallish empire came to an end officially in 2001 after the end of the Fallish withdrawal from TBD.
Falland retains special relationships with its former colonies as seen in the Fallish-Silerian Council and Fallish foreign aid. Immigrants from former Fallish colonies are given priority over other immigrants and Falland has a significant foreign background from these countries. Since the beginning of decolonisation Falland has also intervened politically and militarily in its former colonies leading some experts to claim Falland is practicing neocolonialism.
