The largest country on Pirth and a well known militant run Empire. It controls almost the entirety of the northern part of Pirth’s largest continent. A small exception with lands to the South West belonging to the Sardinia Kingdom and lands to the South East belonging to the Palent Empire.

Since its founding it has been run by the Shirg Royal family, who are known to possess the Blessing of the Spirit of War and high combat oriented abilities.

The Sardina Kingdom is the 2nd largest country on Pirth and sits below the Empire of Shirg as almost the complete entirety of the southern part of the continent. Their northern border with the Empire is split by the smaller nations of Dargalia, Merge, Aldonian, and Qiell. While the peninsula that belongs to the Palent Empire is regarded as not a proper border for  Sardina and Shirg.

The original royal family of Sardina was the Saradielia family. However, the family was massacred by the Coredentia family a few years back. The Sardina Kingdom has always been a country of human supremacy, but under the Cordentia rule it has become completely inhospitable to any non human or non Sardinian beings. Money laundering, corrupt nobles, mistreatment of commoners, torture, kidnapping and rape of non-Sardinians is an open sport in the country. While, it has grown to be known by those of noble lineage as the country who perverse pleasures due to the amount of non-human and particular nightly activities. Further, the country is known for the popular once a month holiday of Shirg Flag Burnings.

Dargalia has always been a neutral country and the largest craftsman nation and exporter of alcohol.

It has maintained its neutrality by being the home for the majority of Pirth’s mercenaries. The country’s almost sole export being expendable people.

There is no Royal Family within the Merge Alliance. Each individual clan or country has its own system for choosing a head. These heads get together to discuss and vote on national policy.

The penninsula technically shares a border with the Shirg Empire, The Sardina Kingdom and Qiell. However, the Sardina Kingdom ignores them, Qiell has no interest in them and the Shirg Empire is their closest ally and rival. The Palent Empire is well known for their warriors, their female amazons, their navy and their agricultural trade goods. Like the Shirg Empire, they are in open war with the Sardina Kingdom.

They share a Northern border with the Shirg Empire, an Eastern border with the Palent Empire, a Southern Border with the Sardina Kingdom and a Western Border with the Dargalia Nation State. Due to the hundreds of years of alliance with the Shirg Empire and the interest in trade goods from the Palent Empire Qiell trades goods and services with the two nations. While, Qiell completely ignores the Sardinia Kingdom out of disinterest in foreign politics. However, Qiell is also in open war with Dargalia although their has not been fighting for hundreds of years. They are known for their magic, research and arts.
