'''Aciria''', officially the '''Grand Empire of Aciria''', is an Absolute Monarchy on [[Sarpedon]]. Aciria is composed of 7 Administrative regions, 3 Special administrative regions, and multiple Imperial Dominions. Boasting a population of 76,883,723, a steady population growth is guaranteed by the controversial law that mandates every able-bodied woman to give birth to at least two children. The capital, the largest city and the home of the Imperial Court is Trosseurs, named after the Three Sisters cult of antiquity. | '''Aciria''', officially the '''Grand Empire of Aciria''', is an Absolute Monarchy on [[Sarpedon]], bordering [[Pelaxia]], [[Grajnidar]] and [[Volonia]].

The history of Aciria is a series of tragic disorders with the local populations desperately clinging to any type of power that guarantees them stability in the region. Starting in the Age of the Schism, the heartlands of modern day Aciria were plagued by local conflicts over faith and warring warlords, finally culminating in the declaration of independence in 1615, followed by nearly 200 years of political instability, and near constant state of civil war between different factions vying for power. This era finally ended in 1783 when the Marshal of Aciria Jean Dupois murdered the ruling king and throned himself the Grand Emperor, ushering in an era of unprecedented peace in the region. The descendants of Dupois have ruled Aciria with an iron fist since then, a price the population is willing to pay due to fears of the region falling into instability once again otherwise. | The history of Aciria is a series of tragic disorders with the local populations desperately clinging to any type of power that guarantees them stability in the region.

By far the majority of nation identifies as Acirien, an umbrella term consisting of multiple former tribes that inhabited the modern day area of Aciria. The only notable minority in the nation is known as the Montagner, who are one of the Acirien tribes that refused assimilation under the umbrella term due to their distinct cultural and linguistic development caused by their remote location in the mountainous regions of the country, having limited contact with the other Aciriens until the 19th century. Other ethnic groups in the country are made up of whatever expats and other foreigners that have settled in the country over the years, which aren't accurately accounted for in the census. | By far the majority of nation identifies as Acirien, an umbrella term consisting of multiple former tribes that inhabited the modern day area of Aciria.
