Aurician Empire
The Aurician Empire consists of the Imperial City of Aurice, island and land holdings of Asdauria, the Shadevan and Agogian Provinces, and overseas possessions, especially Skaligdæ and Bijälenland. The Noble Republic of Aurice and the Empire of Magdala jointly appointed the rulers of the Viceroyalty of Jagohr until the end of the Sewdhaine War. Aurician commercial and legal interests control the very lucrative Grand Shadew Canal.
The empire is divided into Over-Provinces and Provinces. The Over-Provinces are Lucacia, Corundy, Asdauria, Thykomia, Shadevan Provinces, Agogia, Bijälenland, and Skaligdæ. These are divided into Provinces some of which exercise local government in the form of a parliament of hereditary members, and others elected. Each Province may be divided into Prefects, Municipia, or Counties, sometimes a combination of these.
There are also several client states which are dependent upon the Empire and often work closely with the overall military strategy of the empire.

Corundy (Semi-Free Parliaments)
Zamir is a mountain region of northeastern Corundy. Most Zamirites speak a dialect of Tassan, but Lucacian speakers make up the majority of the inhabitants along the coast. For political and strategic reasons due to the Fourth Geddamin War, Zamir became subject to the Aurician Empire. The land was divided into two parts for administrative purposes. The language of Zamir (or Zamiria) is Tassan which is closely related to the Lucacian Language. There are some cultural ties between Zamir and Lucacia and both lands were formerly part of the Midretassene Empire in addition to the fact that their current spoken languages descended from the Medregan Language Family.

The huge island of Skaligdæ is considered part of the Antarctic Plate and is divided into numerous municipia or townships. It is very cold in the winter, except for the northernmost coast which is cool to cold in the winter. This rugged land offers great resources for Corpora Mercia of the Empire and vast challenges to hardy colonists. It is sometimes the place of exile for criminals and those whose political fortunes have plummeted.
