Imperial Empire

The Second Imperial Empire or most commonly known as the Imperial Empire is the largest nation on Aduwey. The empire is the largest, wealthiest, and most powerful nation on the continent. The current emperor is Reman Retullius III. With the heir apparent being Gaius Retullius. While collectively operating as a single nation, the Empire is divided into a multitude of Kingdoms, Duchies, Counties, Fiefdoms, Principalities, and City-States. All of these are in some aspect autonomous of the Empire, except for the centralized regions of which the Empire orginates from, which are instead called Provinces. This is due to the extent of the empire itself, as such, it makes it far easier for the Emperor and the Royal Court to maintain operations by having many people run different parts of the empire, while still answering to the Emperor himself. Collectively, these can all be called "States."
