New Sammichian Empire
The New Sammichian Empire, also known as the Fulfwotz Empire, or Empirax Xamichia Novus in Old Sammichian, is a sovereign state mainly located in the southwestern Shire, in the Demmatrodine Region, but also holds dominion over many outlying territories throughout the Shire. It is a common misconception that the New Sammichian Empire is an absolute monarchy; in reality, it is a constitutional monarchy, with the government split into the Emperor and the Sammichian Imperial Chancellory. It is considered the successor of the Old Sammichian Empire. The state was established on May 24th, 1929.
With a total of 33.7 million inhabitants, the New Sammichian Empire is one of the most populated nations in Shire history. It has a wide disparity of cultural and social practices, since its territory includes so many different towns and villages which are scattered around the map. Peace is shakily maintained between the government and the annexed populations through the Empire's secularism and reluctance to force religious and cultural practices onto those annexed. Despite this, the interior of the government has a long history of instability.
The New Sammichian Empire first rose from the aftermath of the First World War, but that was simply the point when all of the territories previously held by the Kingdom of Fulfwotz were consolidated into the Empire; most of its expansion actually predates its establishment. Under the rule of King Drefnex in the mid-1800's, the Kingdom of Fulfwotz began an aggressive annexation campaign of the surrounding area, asserting itself as the dominant power in the Demmatrodine Region. This followed nearly 1,800 years of isolationism from the rest of the Shire. During this time, the Kingdom increased its size ten-fold and even began to claim outlying territories all around the Shire. After the coronation of King Drefnex's son, Prince Sammich, a failed invasion of a town that refused to be annexed prompted the Kingdom to declare war, and drew the attention of nations throughout the Shire. After splitting into two factions, the First World War was fought.
In the end, Fulfwotz's forces were defeated, and had surrendered. Despite this loss, King Sammich ennobled himself Emperor of the New Sammichian Empire not a day after the Treaty of Niflheim was signed on May 24th, 1929. In his lauded nationalist Imperial Address on the first day of the Empire's creation, he described it as:
"...the reincarnate of the power and prestige once retained by the domain of Old Xamichia, a testament to the unwavering tenacity of Sammichian dominions all past, present, and future."
Today, the New Sammichian Empire is considered a Shire superpower and is a founding member of the Shire United Nations, with a permanent seat on the organization's Security Council. It is one of the largest nations in the Shire and boasts one of its largest economies.
