The Holy Empire of Ionia (アイオニア聖皇国, Aionia Sei Kōkoku) is a nation in Gensosuikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki. It is the setting of the game.
Information
The Holy Empire of Ionia is a military state that was originally established in order to fight off the attacks of the Terrus Firma and protect the land throughout the Century of Monsters. Although the nation was founded for this express purposes, most of the empire's citizens are unware of the nation's history or the existence of the Terrus Firma itself.
From around the Holy Imperial year 200, cities such as Martilion and Shiyurato have declared independence and had it recognised. The nation is currently ruled (Holy Imperial year 300) by the Holy Emperor Reneferrous XIII.
