Ashina

The Ashina Empire, commonly referred to as Ashina, is a country located mainly in the northeast but with territories throughout Alathra. As of June 26, 2021, it is by far the most populated nation by with 44 residents. The nation is recognized as Alathra's leading superpower, with complete domination of the northeastern continent and great influence over global politics. Ashina was founded by Emperor KnightOfNotch on December 4, 2020. Its capital is High Ashina. On the southeastern coast of the main continent lies New Ashina City, its largest city and one of Alathra's largest centres of commerce.

Ashina believes in the development of self-control and fortitude as a means of overcoming destructive thoughts or feelings. Happiness and success for ones self comes through virtue live a virtuous life and be remembered for it and rewarded in the next one.

Ashina's territory expanded rapidly in mid-2021. On May 11, 2021, the nation took part in the Ashina-Lothridge War and subsequently annexed Lothridge. On May 29, Slavongrad, once an ally of the nation, was disbanded following a dispute with Ashina. Its territory was quickly incorporated into the empire, on which now stands San Juacoco. In June, the empire conquered the Kingdom of God, and later annexed the town of Sudland after an attack on New Ashina City.

On July 7, 2021, Ashina declared an unsuccessful war on Fare-Sesso. On July 11, Lothridge seceded from the Empire and reformed Acquendavia, which ultimately absorbed much of Fare-Sesso.
