Rothiya

The Tsardom of Rothiya
Rothiya (Officially the Tsardom of Rothiya) or the Empire of Rothiya was a Ruthenian empire spanning Eastern Europe & Northern Asia. It was the largest country in the world, encompassing one-eight of Earth's total landmass. Rising during the 15th century, the Kievan Rus Grand Duchy of Kyiv established the Rothiyan empire after it's conquest and annexation of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Republic of Novgorod, and subsequently begin colonizing Siberia. The Rothiyan realm included several protectorates and constituent states, such as the Kingdom of Sorbia, Shahdom of Khorastan, Tsardom of Turkistan, Sultanate of Khawarazm (Read: The Three Thrones of Transoxiania for more information), and the Parliamentary Republic of Circassia. New Cossackia was considered an imperial colony until the Alyaskan revolt of 1864 resulting in it's transition into the Constituent State of Kozatstvo.

Rothiya had an estimated population of 164 million including satellite states in 1914, 69.3% of which were Rutho-Byzantine Orthodox Christians, 11.1% muslims, 9.1% Roman Catholics, and 4.2% Rabbinic Jews, according to an imperial survey conducted in the same year. The Rothiyan Empire is predominantly a rural society spread over vast spaces. In 1913, 80% of the people were peasants. Subjects of the Rothiyan Empire were segregated into social estates (classes) such as nobility, clergy, merchants, cossacks, and peasants. A majority of the population, 81.6%, belonged to the peasant order. The other classes were the nobility, 0.6%; clergy, 0.1%; the burghers and merchants, 9.3%; and military, 6.1%. More than 88 million Rothiyans were peasants, some of whom were former serfs.

The ethnolinguistic makeup of the Rothiyan empire is extraordinarily diverse, partially due to the unconventional foreign and assimilation policies of the Rothiyan empire. The empire practices anti-assimilationist policies and favours regional autonomy and local jurisdiction over wide-scale imperialistic integralism. As per the constitution of Rothiya, languages, religions, and cultures may not be outlawed. This uncommon practice of multiculturalism has resulted in the Rothiyan empire growing to it's remarkable size.
