Great-Smurcian Empire

The Great-Smurcian Empire was a large, multicultural empire that held dominion over almost all of northern Asia from the 3rd century BC to 14 AD, when it was destroyed in the Battle of Juzjno-Sakhalinsk. The Empire, at its greatest extent, stretched from Yukon in Northern America to the Urals in Russia, and from the Northern Ice Sea to the Altai, and held sway over a population of several million. It was considerably bigger then both the Chinese Han Dynasty or the Roman Empire, its contemporary counterparts.

It was founded by Aristhotolos Smurcistos, a young Seleucid general sent to find the legendary land of Fusang, and Zri-el Maggaraf, an insurgent king, in 303 BC. It was born from a cooperation between the Smurcian native tribes and the civilized Seleucids, and from there it rose te become the Continent's dominant power for over three centuries. It reached its golden era in the latter half of the 2nd century BC under Demokratos dla Smurkia, and its maximum territorial extent in 18 BC under Aristhotolos Smurcistos II. From there, its decline set in rapidly, and by 14 AD, the Empire had been reduced to an area the size of present day Germany. It fell in August 14 to the combined forces of the Northern-Oomnosian Empire, Rrahhia, Han China, Goguryeo Korea and the Siberian tribes.

The Empire's legacy is still witnessable in the Lost Continent, as it gave birth to Smurcian national identity, several classic technological features like sewers and aquaducts and great literary classics like the Epou Smurkia. The Smurcian capital, Isgeriastan, was mainly built and walled during the reign of the Empire. Smurcia's most reknowned King, Isgeria the Great, was a direct descendant of the first two Kings of the Great-Smurcian Empire, as was the great Emperor Schrutchi the Conqueror.
