- Anthem of the Empire and the monarchy

The Empire of Radovia, known simply as Radovia, is a large and powerful state situated on the western edge of Eidora. It's the largest state on the subcontinent in area, and second in population only to the CSR. Its capital is Sirev.

It is one of the most powerful countries still standing after the Age of Turmoil began, having violenty supressed any sort of internal dissent that would threaten its stability. As a result, the empire is a highly authoritarian monarchy, which keeps an iron fist around its populace. This has however led to a increase in nationalist sentiment in the many groups of people that has been incorporated into the empire of the years, and a shift to republican ideals in dissident groups that survived the purges.

Their biggest rival and enemy is the CSR, which stands as a polar opposite to Radovia. This hostile rivalry would eventually escalate into the Great War, which would result in the collapse of both countries.

Behind the scenes (meta)

 * Radovia is based upon Tsarist Russia. The ensuing civil war is also based upon the Russian civil war, though without much socialism/communism being involved.
 * The faith of the Allmother is based upon the abrahamitic religions of our world.
