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 1152 CE when Arin Visteue, later Queen Arin III led a coup d'etat against King Haligar V. 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.
Ethalria was a leading member of a coalitions of nations against Morstopackia in the [[Great War]], it leagued with former rivals [[Grand Republic of Salovia]], as well as [[Asendavia]] and other world powers. Ethalria emerged victorious and reclaimed the lands of Marislia back from the Morstaybishlian Empire but subsequently entered nearly a decade of economic depression. Going into the 20th century, [[Osterlisch]] was the last colony, and during the depression was given home rule. After the depression, Ethalria began investing into the manufacturing and technology industries. It became an economic superpower and in the 1950s and 1960s vied primarily against Morstaybishlia and Salovia in the Auroran Space Race. These technologies moved the three powers into a nuclear arms race and would continue to escalate tensions until the breakout of the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. In 1975 and 1976, the post-war recession crippled Ethalria and the Sofura Revolution that spanned over July and August 1975 broke the empire into two states; the Grand Republic of Ethalria and the Matriarchy of Ethalria. The Grand Republic chose to hold on to the monarchy of Ethalria but the new fascist matriarchy did not.
