The '''Morstaybishlian Empire''' comprised the [[wikipedia:Dominion|dominions]], [[wikipedia:Crown colony|colonies]], [[wikipedia:Protectorate|protectorates]], mandates and other [[wikipedia:Dependent territory|territories]] ruled or administered by [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and its predecessor states. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by the Caltharus in the 10th century, and then later the Staynish territories in the 15th century. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. For a twenty years at the turn of the 20th century, Morstaybishlia and [[Packilvania]] entered political union to become Morstopackia. The years 1897 and 1904 are considered the pinnacle of Morstaybishlian power, and at the peak, the phrase "the empire where the sun never sets" was often used to describe it, because its expanse around the world mant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.
==Present territories==
The [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] was a large Empire that spanned the majority of the Auroran continent, which consisted of [[Staynes]] ([[Staynes]] and [[South Staynes]]), [[Caltharus]] and [[Axdel#History|Kormistazm]], before it became known as [[Norograd]] during the last century, which itself consists of modern day [[Emberwood Coast]] and [[Quartz Fern Coast]], before its demise in 1970. The Empire was founded in 1515 after King Lambertus III of [[Staynes]] reclaimed the [[Caltharus]] throne, and later his grandson, King Redrugus IX, annexed [[Axdel#History|Kormistazm]] as a Principality of the Empire.
[[Great Morstaybishlia]] is the administrative ruler of the Morstaybishlian Empire, comprised of four individual countries that share parliament, open borders, and many other policies. These are [[Staynes]], [[Caltharus]], [[Valeria]] and [[Jusdelva]].
The population of the Empire has varied wildly over the almost half-century, as low as around 44,700,000 inhabitants in 1600 to as much as 254,000,000 in the year prior to its collapse.
The cultural gap between the patriotically Marxist Norogradian population and the orthodox monarchy reached new highs in the 1950's when an Empire parade in Fort Sekan was assaulted by armed nationalists. The empire retaliated by tightening control over the region, enforcing strict control policies and a curfew to prevent any further uprising. This was ultimately ineffective and led to further tensions and hatred between the two ethnic groups. Further small attacks on Morstaybishlian servicemen and officials from the Norogradian nationalists were constant after, up until after the nation gained independence from the empire after its demise.
==Collapse=Aurora===
[[Andomi]], [[Eskomia]], [[Neptentia Islands]] and [[Detention Island]]. The [[Necraties Islands]] and [[Frorkstolm]] were once territories but were granted Crown Dependencies, therefore not being apart of the Morstaybishlian Empire or Overseas Territories but defence and most foreign relations are handled by the Morst Government.
As the 1960's rolled in, with them came the anti-imperial sentiments of rock music, recreational drug use, and a new explosion of differing ideologies from outside the empire. As these influences combined with the already roiling tensions of the various regions within Morstaybishlia caused the beginning of the end for the Auroran giant.
===Arcturia and the Packilvanian Ocean===
In the northwest, a popular movement around individual rights and freedom began to arise. With the birth of [[Chance Syng]] in 1952, however, the fate of that portion of the empire was sealed. In 1970, a popular movement of succession was all that was talked about in what was soon to be [[Norograd]]. Lord Thesius Crumpus Vorenstein, governor of what is now [[Emberwood Coast]] and Northern [[Quartz Fern Coast]], cracked down on the protests that were flaring up around his estate with police. When they were just eighteen years old, Syng stood in front of an officer who had been attacking a man, and refused to move. Realizing what they were doing to their own community (most normal duty officers were recruited from the provinces they worked) and turned on the imperial forces. Three days later, on January 18th, 1971,Lord Voernstein was exiled and Syng, who'd lead several of the revolts before their incident in front of police, was then elected as temporary leader of what was briefly "New Staynes," then, after she decided to leave Norograd, finally settled in it's current borders as Emberwood Coast.
