The Adriatic Empire, commonly known as the Eastern Roman Empire, Eurasian Union, Turkey, or very loosely the Neo-Byzantine Empire, is an intercontinental and multiethnic state encompassing much of north Africa, the Middle East, and Eurasia, with extensive overseas territories in the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, and southeast Asia. Encompassing all of the former lands of the Ottoman Empire, Russia, the Netherlands, and Haiti, the Adriatic Empire stands among the largest empires in history and its government is centralized in the nation's capital of Constantinople, with cities such as Moscow, Cairo, and Amsterdam acting as secondary population and cultural centers.
Overview[]
The current Supreme Leader of the Adriatic Empire is Adrian Öztürk Erdoğan, otherwise known as Ormen. With a massive population, the Empire's official religion is Eastern Orthodox, but the government promotes tolerance of its many religious denominations, particularly Sunni Islam in its southern portions. The Empire recognizes no single official language, though the government mainly uses Turkish and sometimes Russian in official documents.
The four largest Adriatic cities are Constantinople, Moscow, Vladimirograd (formerly known as Belgrade), and Amsterdam, with each maintaining some semblance of local government which represents the Empire in its given regions. An overwhelming majority of the Empire's population is concentrated in Eastern Europe and Asia Minor, with its colonial citizens not regarded as much more than mere subjects of the West Asian elite.
The Empire's base of operations in the Caribbean is its colony in Haiti, which is represented in-game by the Bowdash Mansion in Tortuga.
