The Empire of Kythira is a sovereign nation-state spanning the whole of the Continent of Westeria.
The Empire was founded during the Third Era by King CoetzeeClan after the Great Grief by unifying all the fallen kingdoms into the Kingdom of Kythira. After this transition, he crowned himself Emperor of Kythira and Sovereign of Westeria.
Although the capital of Kythira currently has no name, it is often referred to as Kythira of Capital.
The Empire is divided into six provinces, Three Crown Provinces and three Golden Provinces: semi-independent provinces ruled by a High Lord who is appointed by the Emperor. Outside of these province boundaries like the Northern Sea, the Southern Sea and the Western Sea lay the Farlands, except in the east. These Farlands, although officially without name often are called by their geographical location: The North, The South, The West. These Farlands are under authority of the Crown and still a part of the Empire of Kythira, but they are not seen as the mainland, and thus they are often disregarded.

Military
The Kythiran Military consists of two different factions. First and foremost, at the Emperor's command the High Lords must assemble their forces to come and assist in defending the Empire from foreign threats. This force has access to numerous castles, towers, bunkers and fortresses across the Empire to station themselves in during a foreign invasion.
For the protection of the crown however, the original Kythiran Military, was revived with a new purpose and vision by Publius Decius Agricola, on the orders of the Emperor. This force, known as the Imperial Legion of Kythira, is primarily focused on rapid response actions, protection of the Emperor and protection of the Realm by supressing uprisings within the Empire, as well as supporting civil authorities and law-enforcement agencies.
Economy
The currency of the Empire is the Green Dragon Emerald. It's economy in general consists of trade between the provinces and to a lesser extend trade with the Empire of Imperius.
The Province of Valyria holds the Imperial Mining Company, the Province of The Reach the Imperial Forestry Company, the Province of Ardoragh mostly has a service based economy, quite like the one the Kingdom of Redstonia had during the Second Era.
The Crown Provinces focus on a combination of taxation of the Golden Provinces, the production of food and trade with Imperius via the Imperial Trading Company, located in the Imperial City, which has a monopoly on trade with foreign powers.

Kythira is ruled by the House Coetzee, a noble house that is among the oldest houses in Westeria, like House Whaza or the extinct House Mercenary. Originating as Riverlanders, they were the ones to first create a unified state: The Kingdom of Kythira. Today, only two members of the house remain: Lord Squarepantstoo, who lives in Castle Harrenhal, and Emperor Coetzeeclan.
