'''The Empire of Raveran (T.E.R''' or '''TER'''), commonly known as '''Raveran''', is a primarily coastal country located in northern [[Godwana|Gondwana]]. It is a Federalized Elective Monarchy with 157 Provinces. It has a population of 35 million Raveranians (2020). It controls an area of 489,280.6 sq. km. It owns a somewhat diverse region in terms of climate as it controls rainforests, savannahs, beaches, and parts of an ice cap.

The Raveranians were originally an indigenous group of people native to Gondwana that were free until the year 1106 when The Holy Empire of Thelianon (The HET) swiftly conquered them and subjugated them. andThe Thelianonese Government began to oppress The Raveranians. Althoughand theyrestrict weretheir exposedcivil rights to the technologypoint ofthey thewere modernnot era,considered andcitizens soon advanced alongsidewithin Thelianon. afterAlthough catchingthey upwere exposed to themthe thankstechnology toof the HET government'smodern' interferenceera during this time, The Raveranians had a specific and unique cultural identity that they maintained even whilst oppressed, even developing a sense of brother and sisterhood as a result of their struggles together. This resulted in them having ethnic divisions and tension with the Thelianonese and other Ethnic Groups in the Empire which increased as the decades went on. As a result of increased Raveranian calls for independence in 1413 following the massacre of a Raveranian town in a 'military exercise', after more than 200 years of oppression, the Raveranians were hunted down and declared enemies of the state and mistreated even further, having next to no civil rights at all.

It wouldn't be until 1527 that The Raveranians formedmanaged ato form an armed revolt and began to riot against the government, causing massive uprisings and encouraging other ethnic groups that were oppressed to riot as well.

Because the Thelianonese Emperor had complete and absolute power, the child-Emperor's advisors had to listen to the orders from an actual child which resulted in coups against the child-Emperor and incompetent decisions, with both playing a major part in weakening the HET government. Taking advantage of Thelianonthis, many ethnic groups rose up against the government in an attempt to gain freedom. Raveranians fought long and hard for their independence before finally managing to be free as The Holy Empire of Thelianon collapsed in 1598.

The Raveranians now simply called themselves 'Raveran' afterand theirset homelandoff and wereon a nomadicjourney groupto oftheir peoplehomeland. RaveranThe Raveranians wandered the tropical rainforests and tundrassavannahs of the continent of Gondwana before coming upon a small bay where they originated from, setting up fishing communities there in a settlement that would come to be known as Raverania. They quickly found an abundance of natural resources in the mountainous regions, food from the rain forests, fertile soul from the water and forest rivers, and lots of natural resources in general. They quickly organized themselves into place, setting up a government and appointing the Raveranian leader as the first Raveranian Emperor., Emperor Raverburgen I

The Empire of Raveran was then formed and it has expanded province by province afterwards, with the people electing Senators to represent them in The Raveranian Senate Council. The country expanded outwards more and more, connecting with people who were descendants of Raveran during the Thelianonese or wandering days following their newfound freedom. This caused the people living there to willing convert due to their shared history and combined with the Raveranian government offering cheap prices for land, caused a mass migration westward until the country reached the borders it has today. The people began to settle into the land and populate, technologically advancing and catching up with the rest of the world after reverse engineering Thelianonese technology and purchasing more, eventually reaching 35 million people in 2020.
