Ŕudfenian Amku
The Ŕudfenian Amku is a sprawling empire that controls over half of the continent of Almor. Formed over 700 years ago due to conquests by the tribal warlord Ogin Sha after he had conquered and unified the southern lands of Almor, the Ŕudfenian Amku is, in the current day, the most powerful and expansive Almor kingdom. Forged through the fires of war and conquest, the nation struggled through three centuries of defensive wars after its formation as a coalition of the other kingdoms on Almor, pitted against their younger and more powerful counterpart, looked to defend their stakes in Almor and maintain the continent's status quo. However, the divided efforts of the coalition were not enough to beat the Ŕudfenians back, and the eventual betrayal of the Yika Amku did not aid in the coalition's plan. The Rudfenian Amku, supported by its similarly powerful neighbors on the Tzikas Archipelago, managed to defeat the coalition, forever dividing the continent between two powerful and hate-filled alliances. Further wars waged between the two factions led to naught besides marginally important territorial trades and the eventual formation of the modern borders between the Ŕudfenian and other Almoran nations.
The Ŕudfenian Amku has been at peace for over a century, with few nations aiming to try to topple the empire and its grasp on global trade and diplomacy. The past few centuries have seen the Ŕudfenian Amku find its role in international society, acting as a major trading power, controlling many routes between Almor and Haraxim which are often used for the trade of Xumil. As well, Ueda Tara and most leaders of the Tara dynasty have begun attempting to foster relations and interaction between the Ŕudfenians and other Almor kingdoms. While hostilities do remain, the threat of further wars on Almor have mostly subsided as the nation has continued to aid the lesser kingdoms around it in military, industrial, and economic development.
The Ŕudfenian Amku, while being a land of militaristic and nationalistic virtue in the past, has begun to take strides towards becoming a nation of economic and technological prosperity. Most leaders of the Tara dynasty have largely focused their efforts on economic expansion rather than strengthening the nation's military or conquering new territory. In terms of the nation's society, the multicultural demographics of the human and humanoid peoples of Ŕudfenia have led to the creation and amalgamation of rich and vibrant cultures, traditions, and customs. In general, the Ŕudfenian Amku had suppressed and neglected cultures and peoples apart from those of the Southern Naadi, but recent Tara leaders have begun to allow for more cultural and religious freedom and expression in Ŕudfenia, leading to a cultural renaissance. Utor, Komtol, and Hazcuo cultures have begun to flourish in small hearths in major cities while northern Naadi culture reestablished itself in the northern regions of Ŕudfenia.

Currency
The Rudfenian Amku, and most Empires in Almor and Tzikas, use the Dara, a system of coinage based around three tiers of currency. The Dara Fer (Iron Dollar), the Dara Agim (Silver Dollar), Dara Aiu (Gold Dollar) make up the three tiers of coins. Aiu coins are worth the greatest amount, being the equivalent of general gold coinage while the Agim coin is worth a fifth of an Aiu and a Fer coin is worth a fiftieth of an Agim.
