The Empire of Yaghēb

The Empire of Yaghēb, otherwise known simply as Yaghēb or Yageeb, is an authoritarian empire within the Pencilcosmos. In roughly -300 LPT, it gained control over The Enormous, and continued to spread outwards. Yaghēb lasted for over 340 LPT, until large parts of its territory turned into independent nations, which were Western Awef (which consisted of Rafg's territory and other nations) and the Northern States.

The Empire of Yaghēb has a strict social hierarchy. Creatures are able to climb up the hierarchy.

Government
The Empire of Yaghēb's government can best be described as a cross between an oligarchy and a dictatorship. The ruler is guided by their advisors, and usually have more power, although the advisors are able to take control if the ruler is deemed either corrupt or traitorous. There have been many times when a ruler was forced to step down or exiled, such as in 16 LPT (Lakn'Gōl was replaced by Lakn'Ēpk) and 21 LPT (Gasapk'Kryf was exiled and the advisors took control).

If a ruler either dies or is exiled, the advisors as well as part of the higher social classes will pick a new ruler. During times of war, a replacement is picked by just the advisors, or even the previous ruler. If an advisor dies, the ruler will select a new one.

There have been a few times when the ruler gained absolute power, such as in 25 LPT.

Territory
Yaghēb's organization of territory is very similar to Awef's. The territory is divided into 4 large regions, with a few disputed areas. Each region has its own dedicated military, and they will join together if there is a war.

Brief History
The Empire of Yaghēb has a very long and detailed history, and has fought in numerous wars. For the sake of simplicity, the history will not cover what happened after The Empire of Yaghēb broke apart.

At first, Yaghēb was a small nation located within The Enormous. Once Awef had built The Bridge and entered The Enormous via exploiting the Law of Cosmological Intersection, they conquered Yaghēb and heavily influenced it. The next few hundred LPT saw Yaghēb slowly becoming stronger and stronger. It served as a sort of buffer point between hostile nations inside The Enormous and Awef, and allowed Awef to expand into The Enormous, conquering key areas of it.

Once Awef broke apart into countless smaller nations in roughly -400 LPT, Yaghēb slowly conquered the rest of The Enormous. The nation was the first to utilize mass particle launchers as weapons, thus giving them an advantage over other nations fighting for dominance. In -317 LPT, Yaghēb became an empire, and had its first semi-legendary ruler, Lakn'Shyf, rule.

In roughly -300 LPT, Yaghēb's most important and influential ruler, Gwepk'Ēpk, became ruler. Gwepk'Ēpk supposedly invented many new weapons, including
