Boreal Empire

The Boreal Empire has risen, and fallen, and risen again, only to fade once more. It provided great stability and great building to the continent, but as individual regions have become stronger, the central leadership has become weaker, and is only nominal on some regions now. It still has a great cultural influence on all the regions it once encompassed.

Structure

The emperor and a vast number of officials, largely military generals and governors oversee the colonies, and to a slightly lesser degree the kingdoms that make up the empire. The kings all have allegiance to the emperor, and officially do not operate without his (or his representative's) consent, but of late they are autonomous.

Demography and Population

The Boreal Empire includes an enormous variety of peoples. In the inner part of the empire, they are predominately the dark boreas people, but on the fringes, the native populations dominate. The cultures vary widely throughout. As for the population, it is impossible to know how many people are in the empire, only that it is many millions.

Territories

The Boreas Empire covers alomost all of the north, and in former times the south west also.

Foreign Relations

Diplomacy is often left to individual kingdoms and colonies that make up the empire, especially in these days of fading power. However there are direct representatives of the empire in the courts of the chiefdoms, their biggest neighbours, and former part of the empire. The Dlinaat nation is not given to diplomacy so the Empire position has simple been to defend against them, and not provoke them. They likely have similar ambassadors the the traders nations, but not having had the opportunities to visit that part of the continent, I have little information on details.
