In 1975, it had a population of 140 million people and spanned an area of 3.21 million square kilometers.

 

 

Ethalria was the largest empire to span [[Aurora]], with territory nearly uninterrupted in modern day [[Great Morstaybishlia]], parts of [[Grand Monarchy of Salovia|Salovia]] and other empires of the Auroran continent, its economic prowess outmatched the Kormistazic, Caltharus and Salovian Empires combined. Known as ''Ethalried'' in the first millennium, Ethalria was ruled under male-preference primogeniture until 890 CE when Arin Visteue, later Queen Arin II led a coup d'etat against the elvish King Hariwald II. From thereon a matrilineal primogeniture was established and because of the initial imbalance of power allowed other empires to take over vast swathes of land. Ethalria was officially a Queendom from the Arin Coup D'etat until 1826 where it became a Matriarchy.
