The Empire has the largest population in Minecraftia according to the Fifth Era International Census. It has a great diversity in terms of cultures, ethnicities and languages.

Prior to the Grand War the Empire was the wealthiest nation in Minecraftia, and considered by many to be the most powerful. After the Grand War this international dynamic greatly changed. The reparations it was forced to pay to the Raggisar Republic, 840,000,000 Florynts in total, devastated the imperial treasury, forcing the Crown to ask the High-Lords of the wealthiest and largest provinces, Attica, Alcanzar and Ardoragh, to pay for the majority of the reparations. The High-Lords agreed, only if Emperor Louis enacted the Reforma Carta. This ultimately led to the Emperor being forced to abdicate in favour of his daughter, Theodosia Viromaro, whilst his oldest son and former heir-apparent, Prince Louis Viromaro, being forced to renounce his claim to the throne. Instead of listening to these demands, Charles stole 19 million Florynts in Viromaro gold from the Sansoucci Palace and fled to the Aqumis Republic.

	~~Prior to~~ the [[Reforma Carta]] the Empire ~~was~~ an absolute monarchy ruling over a collection of provinces, led by High-Lords~~. With the Reforma Carta the empire's government changed, turning into~~ a constitutional monarchy consisting of six kingdoms united under the Kythiran banner.		As one of the stipulations of the [[Reforma Carta]] the Empire went from an absolute monarchy ruling over a collection of provinces, led by High-Lords to a constitutional monarchy consisting of six kingdoms united under the Kythiran banner.

The Kythiran Empire is a continuation of the Kingdom of Kythira, the first sovereign nation of Minecraftia, founded at the end of the First Era. Founded by Emperor Richard I ''The Great'' Viromaro, it emerged from the ashes of the Minecraftian Dark Ages, and throughout the reigns of him, his son Emperor Francis ''The Giant'' Viromaro and his grandson Emperor Henry II ''One-Eye'' Viromaro they conquered and united the Empire as it still stands today. His great-grandson, Emperor Richard II Viromaro, eventually signed the Treaty of the King's Keep with the Imperius Reich, they ushered in the end of the Third Era and the beginning of the long Fourth Era, a time of mostly peace across Minecraftia up until the closing days of the Fourth Era with the start of the Grand War.

			Following the Grand War the Reforma Carta was passed, reforming the Six Provinces into Six Kingdoms, and changing the role of the Imperial family from absolute monarchs to constitutional monarchs.

	Within the entire Empire, the nobility are the only ones who can hold political power. They are by far the wealthiest class of citizens, and they are tasked, through a large system of delegated power, with ruling the Empire. It is illegal for members of the nobility to marry with any other social class. The only way one can become part of the nobility is to either be born into a noble family, or by being elevated to the class by the Emperor or one of the Empire's six Kings.

			There are several rules of etiquette that surround the Kythiran nobility. It is customary for any class below the nobility to bow when they speak to a noble citizen. They are to address them as "Your Grace" or "Your Highness". If a member of the nobility requests something from a member of a lower class, it is expected that this request is honoured. Failure to do so can be considered a criminal offence.

	The Kythiran Empire is ~~predominantly~~ a feudal ~~rural~~ society, ~~spread over vast spaces, especially~~ in ~~the west~~. ~~This with some exceptions~~, ~~primarily~~ the ~~capital city of Helmira~~. ~~The society is split into~~ four ~~primary~~ social classes~~: Nobility~~, ~~Wealthy~~, ~~Peasants~~ and ~~Slaves~~.		The Kythiran Empire, although since the Fifth Era a Constitutional Monarchy at the Imperial level, is still very much a feudal society. Society is separated into four primary social classes, of which it is generally expected that there is no substantial mingling in between classes. There are nuances in this however, which depend on the specific Kingdom one is living in.

			These four social classes are the nobility, the gentry, the peasants and slaves. The last category are however legally considered property, and therefore are not considered citizens of the Empire.

	===Nobility:===		===Nobility:===
	Within the Empire ~~only those of~~ nobility are ~~entitled to own land and participate in politics~~. ~~The noble class is~~ the ~~smallest~~ class ~~within~~ the Empire, with ~~the~~ only way to ~~join their ranks being~~ either ~~being~~ born into a noble family or being elevated by the Emperor or ~~a High-Lord. More about~~ the ~~Kythiran Nobility can be read [[Kythiran Nobility\|here]]~~.		Within the entire Empire, the nobility are the only ones who can hold political power.

It is illegal for members of the nobility to marry with any other social class. The only way one can become part of the nobility is to either be born into a noble family, or by being elevated to the class by the Emperor or one of the Empire's six Kings.

	==='''~~Wealthy~~:'''===		==='''Gentry:'''===
	The ~~rich of Minecraftia~~ are ~~the only~~ social class~~, together with~~ the nobility~~, which is legally capable of owning land. Their wealth usually derived from trade. Due to this~~, and ~~the importance~~ of ~~political friends in order to succeed within~~ the ~~Kythiran~~ economy, ~~most of~~ the ~~wealthy~~ class ~~resides~~ in the ~~imperial capital~~ of ~~Helmira, which is filled with over 300 luxurious houses in exquisite, safe neighborhoods~~.		The gentry are a larger social class than the nobility, and are an important part of the Empire's economy. These are people, whose family originated from the peasant social class, but who managed to climb their way up towards wealth. Anyone with a personal account worth more than 35,000 Florynts in the Mercenary Bank are officially part of the Gentry.
