Rozarrian Empire

"Empire located in the west of Ordalia, possessing an army rumored to be the equal of the Archadian Imperial forces. Though an emperor rules, Rozarria is a military state, and the armed forces carry much political power. In recent years, the Margrace Imperial family has sought to limit the military's power, embarking on a series of reforms to restrict the scope of their authority. Archadia's unprovoked invasion of Dalmasca sent shockwaves through the Rozarrian establishment, and many are those who see a war between empires looming on the horizon." —The Rozarrian Empire, Sage Knowledge

History

Built up during the Galtean Alliance like most of the other great powers in Ivalice, Rozarria became one of the greatest Empires, second only to Archadia. However, while Rozarria eventually stopped expanding, Archadia kept on going, taking over smaller nations that got in their way. Unable to ignore such hostile actions, Rozarria eventually declared war on Archadia, and started hostilities that lasted for years to come.

The war eventually ended when Archadia invaded Dalmasca, as Rozarria were powerless against the other Empire now that they held one of the most key-strategic positions in Ivalice. However, when Vayne Solidor came into power, hostilities rose again, and a war was about to begin, with Dalmasca as the battle field. With Vayne's death, the Rozarrian fleet stopped, and a bloody war with it.

Rozarria left their mark in the Galtean Peninsula. Around the expanse of the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea are massive oil rigs and tanks built in the olden days, when Rozarria aimed to prospect oil from the desert. Sandstorms and frequent attacks from the Urutan-Yensa hindered their progress, and after a while, Rozarria stopped their oil drilling activities altogether.
