Nasca Namrium Ulmeria United Eastern Empire

The Eastern Empire, officially known as the Nasca Namrium Ulmeria United Eastern Empire, is a large military nation that is known as the strongest nation in the entire world.

Background
The history of the Empire was said to be ancient, and that its foundations were laid out by a nation as far back as two thousand years ago. The long-standing minor Kingdom of Nasca gradually absorbed the large nations of the Magic Kingdom of Namrium and the Eastern Union of Ulmeria, thus giving birth to the Empire known today.

Its overwhelming military power was its backbone. During the past two thousand years, under the reign of the uniting emperor Rudra Nam Ul Nasca, the Empire grew immensely powerful, quashing any signs of rebellion from the nations they had absorbed. It acted as the hegemonic power, dominating these states.

The emperor was described as an absolutist, and was born from a pure bloodline of overlords who all passed down the name Rudra.

It's believed that the only reason the empire had yet to invade the Jura forest, is because they are in the middle of preparations. A few centuries ago, they attempted to subjugate Veldora, but the whimsical dragon destroyed them before they could so much as show regret. Around a hundred thousand lives were lost that day, and the city fortified to be the gateway for invading the Jura forest, was obliterated. Their failure pained them for hundreds of years.

Politics & Ideology
Within the Empire, the political department and the military department were the left and right hands of the emperor—he had both political dominance and military command, holding absolute authority.

Political Department
Within the political department, the nobles within the Empire were organized into the House of Peers and enjoyed extraordinary authority. Yet it was merely superficial: in reality, these nobles had no actual decision-making power. They merely enjoyed the honor and privilege, while staying beholden to the emperor’s will. At most, they were just bureaucrats.

The power of the nobles was hereditary, and they could become senators without being elected. Even if they were extremely ambitious, they would never have enough power to achieve their dream. All of the territories of the Empire belonged to the emperor. The nobles were merely leased the land for temporary management.

The ones supporting the nobles were highly-educated officials. It was these officials who handled all the planning. They were directly supported by the emperor, since these officials had all sworn allegiance to him.

Military Department
The supreme decision-making power of the military did not belong to the nation, but the emperor. All of the Empire’s military power was centered on the emperor. This also applied to the nations that had been annexed by the Empire. All of their territories were claimed, and their land now became the property of the emperor. So were the defense troops deployed there, where they were considered as a generous gift from the emperor.

This policy was effective in completely eliminating any form of rebellion in the provinces. The overwhelming difference in national power was the key to its success.

The Empire would accept the surrender of other nations, but it was the equivalent of forfeiting all of their rights. If one of them rejected those terms and launched a rebellion, they would be met with a bloody purge. The Empire did this to deter even the thought of insurrection, cutting off the very roots of rebellion.

In that manner, the Empire managed to maintain order. On the one hand, the fear of their tyranny, and on the other, ensuring the livelihoods of its loyal subjects—the quintessential carrot and stick policy. Through this, the Empire managed to maintain peace and prosperity with its complete authoritarian control.

The Empire's only creed "Power is Everything," allows anyone to achieve greatness as long as they are powerful. A country as bountiful as the Empire had no need to expand but did so because of the Emperor's wish, and no one complained.

Military Strength
The Empire prides themselves with the largest and most advanced military in the world, separated into several divisions below:

Armored Corps
The Armored corps, commanded by Calgurio, is where science and technology of the different worlds were fused with magic technology, it is the largest Corps with more than 2 million soldiers, 1 million of which could be deployed immediately for invasion. The breakdown of the deployable units are as per follows:


 * Armored Remodeled Legion: These were soldiers who had adopted the otherworldly technology and underwent magical modifications, allowing them to survive 7 days without eating and drinking. Their individual combat capability was at least ranked C+, and the elite among them even reached rank A. There were 700,000 of them.
 * Magic Tank Division: This unit possessed 2,000 magic tanks, a new weapon they had put into practical use. The magic tank, operated by five people, is an unprecedented war machine that revolutionized the concept of battle. The main armament of the tanks, named magic gun, had an initial velocity of 2,000 meters per second. It had a 50-round capacity and could fire five rounds per minute. Its power was tremendous, being able to unleash destruction equivalent to tactical-class super-high explosive magic. Incidentally, although they are fired based on magic principles, the shell itself is a simple lump of iron. It is a formidable kinetic projectile that could easily penetrate both anti-magic barriers and anti-archer defenses. The number of troops, including the maintenance team, was 200,000.
 * Aerial Assault Division: They had 400 airships and were the pride of the Empire, the fruit of the otherworldly knowledge. Each craft could carry a maximum of 400 passengers. Of them, 50 are vital maintenance crew required to operate the ship, while the remaining crew would be engaged in defensive magic or gunning. The airships are equipped with a large number of magically enhanced guns, making them excellent warships for both offense and defense. They are also useful as a means of transportation, making it possible to transport a large number of troops and catching the enemy off guard with a pincer attack. The division numbered 100,000 troops, most of which belonged to the former Magic Corps.

Magic Beast Corps
The Magic Beast Corps, commanded by Gladium, is the successful product of biotechnology. Utilizing DNA analysis (technology from another world), it became possible to nurture and raise magic beasts, turning them into powerful beast knights. Moreover, their riders are carefully selected warriors with powers of ancient champions (analyzed with DNA technology) awakened within them. This is a rare quality available only in 1 out of 100,000 people.

Each beast knights are ranked A- and above by itself, and the combined strength of magic beast and riders is impossible to gauge. Despite having only 30,000 members, it is the one of the most elite unit the Empire has to offer.

Mixed Corps
The Mixed Corps commanded by Yuuki Kagurazaka was a hodgepodge, but had a lot of potential. It was a den of misfits, singled out due to their inability to cooperate in groups -- at least, that was how the public perceived them. But on a closer look, that was hardly accurate. The reason why the corps members could not coordinate well with others was because of the fact that each and every one of them possessed extraordinary abilities. So outstanding were their abilities, in fact, that managing those guys was difficult.

Many of its members were otherworlders whose potential was completely unknown. Due to various experiments that were being carried out inside the corps, there were also individuals who awoke powers beyond belief that could not be reproduced -- they became magic beasts, boasting strength beyond A rank. While troublesome to control, they were outstanding warriors. Among them were also human weapons that obtained their power from unknown sources, and as such, many products of experiments were gathered under that banner.

In the past, they were simply being managed and kept in line, but now with Yuuki as their leader, the corps suddenly emerged as an extraordinarily powerful trump card within the army. The total number of soldiers was around 200,000, half of which were officers and non-combatants, leaving around 100,000 troops that made up the actual combat force. Within it was also a hand-picked platoon of elite members that worshipped Yuuki. These individuals became the pillars of the Mixed Corps.
