Empire of man

"!!!WARNING: What you are about to read is considered ancient history! Thus many things must be approximated.!!!"The Empire of man was a large nation that existed from ~1.500BFG-~70BFG.

Geography
The Empire of man sat on the western Northern Continent and northern Fire continent. It also had colonies within the Western and mid Fire continents.

At its peak, the empire held all of the Fire Continent although very little development was done there.

The Empire bordered the Lizzarian Tribes to the south till 225BFG when the tribes (then organized under the Lizzarian Empire) were pushed to what is present-day Lizzaria. By then the Empire had no neighbors and was the sole power in Dictoria.

A new rule amidst a broken world
After the Atomic Collapse, what were once strong nations devolved into bickering tribes. Acelan ships that protected the majority of survivors had all landed or crashed, and the world was blasted into the stone age.

it wasn't till ~1.500BFG that the loose tribes began to form together to form what would be considered a modern nation-state.

It is believed that the formation of the Empire was a direct result of the emergence of Lizzarians a few decades before.

Military
In the beginning of the Empire, many soldiers were equipped with weapons from the pre-collapse including guns and explosives. But as the Empire aged and the skills/knowledge needed to maintain the weapons slowly died, many soldiers were equipped with swords or rudimentary steam based weapons.

Politics
Not much is known about the Empire of Man's politics besides that it was ruled by an emperor.

1st Human Lizzarian War
When humans first saw Lizzarian they assumed the lizard-like creatures where radioactive abominations and set out to exterminate them. When it was learned that the Lizzarians where just as intelligent as humans, the scattered settlements formed the Empire of Man, a unified front against the Lizzarians. The war ended when the Lizzarian tribes were pushed back to the southern Fire continent.

Motu Insurrection
Sometime between the 1st and 2nd Human-Lizzarian wars, the Imperial Province of Motu declared independence from the Empire of Man. Motuesse forces won possibly due to Lizzarian support.

2nd Human Lizzarian War (525BFG-225BFG)
After the war, the tribes finally unified into the Lizzarian Empire and an uneasy peace was held. That was until a rebuilt Empire of Man Airship called “Gargantia” accidentally flew into Lizzarian territory, sparking another war. The war ended with Lizzarians being pushed further back into Lizzaria, where they would stay for centuries.
