Tasan

Tasan, founded as the Tasan Empire before splitting off into Ra Tasan and Re Tasan, is a state in the Bolganio continent's Evillious region. Once a dominion that rivaled that of the great Magic Kingdom Levianta, Tasan eventually decline and split apart before being swallowed up by the growing Beelzenian Empire.

Schism and Decline
After the Tasan Empire was founded, it grew in power and became a strong imperial power in the Evillious region. Following the collapse of the Magic Kingdom Levianta, the nation had split apart due to constant infighting under the rule of Emperor Ang, becoming Re Tasan and Ra Tasan. The nations were later invaded by the growing Beelzenian Empire and were eventually conquered, becoming part of Beelzenia's territories.

Hierarchy
As an imperial power comparable to that of the Magic Kingdom, the Tasan Empire developed into an autocracy, ruled by the emperor who held absolute power.

Society and Culture
The Tasan people were largely at odds with one another, to the point that the societies polarized into two distinct nations rather than remain under one banner. After being made part of Beelzenia's territory, the resident's become equally contempt of their new imperial overlords and sometimes rebelled in its former major cities. The nation also named at least one of its cities after the country and, by the fifth century EC, Tasan continued to exist in name in some areas.

Retasan
A star-shaped fortress city located in the empire. It was a strategic point during the standoff between Tasan and Beelzenia. It was later incorporated with the rest of Ra and Re Tasan as a Beelzenian territory.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The Tasan Empire is possibly inspired by the real world Roman Empire; like Tasan, the Roman Empire was split in two, divided as the western Roman Empire and the eastern Byzantine Empire.
 * Similarly, the Beelzenian Empire that absorbed it also bears similarities to that of the Roman Empire.
 * Its name is likely based on Satan, the patron demon of Wrath.

Curiosities

 * Interestingly, it's last emperor was named "Ang", likely deriving itself from the word "anger" to reference Satan and the sin of Wrath.
