Great Squarelandian Empire

Great Squarelandian Empire (Spanish: Imperio cuadradolandiano grande), or officially Great Squarelandia (Spanish: Cuadradolandiano grande), is the first and last period of monarchy that lasted from 1778 to 1992. It was established by Squaru Wang after overthrowing the government of Quancheng. It was preceded by Quancheng and was succeeded by modern-day Squarelandia.

In 1895, the Great Squarelandian Empire started a war with the Quan Empire, with the Great Squarelandian Empire winning. In 1979, it was given back to Highina after signing a treaty.

Before Formation
Squaru Wang, a ex-governor, wanted independence from the Quan Empire, so he went to the parliament in Caodi (Novifindi) on May 1, 1778. The declaration of independence was unsuccessful, so he decided to raid the parliament on May 8, 1778, capturing and ending Governor Bao Ling and 34 other people in the process.

Formation
Squaru Wang was crowned as the Emperor of the Great Squarelandian Empire after the overthrow. The country paid 25 million squan (5 million Squarelandian dollars) for the Quan Empire to recognize the newly-founded Great Squarelandian Empire.

Colonization and expansion
After getting independence, a Quanchengian explorer, Gan Zhen Dao, was granted a patent from Squaru Wang for colonization and exploration. Then, Gan Zhen Dao sailed to establish a colony on the island of Numberia, but never came back during his return journey and then, was succeeded by his brother, Gao Zha Ling, who was granted his personal patent from Squaru Wang.

Economy
The GSE's GDP is the largest GDP in Squareworld, with 20 trillion Great Squarelandian dollars, or 45 trillion Squarelandian dollars.

Military
The Great Squarelandian Empire originally had 5,000 soldiers, but during the colonization and expansion of the empire, it rose to 100,000 soldiers. After the expansion was over, the number of soldiers were 5,000,000.

Religion
The Great Squarelandian Empire's religion is Squarism. The population can adhere to Squarism, and campaigns and projects related to Squarism get higher funds than any other religion. In 1990, 87% believe in Squarism and 13% to other religions.

Slavery
In some parts of the empire, slavery is being used for farming and doing plantations, while the rest bans slavery. Areas which slavery is allowed are Husaland and Bao.
