The land from where the Imperium originated is called the Ilhas Magdalas (Magdal Isles). The Isles have been divided into three Provinces, two on Grã Magdala (Magdal Major), and one in Magdala Menor (Magdal Minor). They are, as shown in the map: the Província Mãe (Mother Province, or MP) in red, the Província Oriental (Eastern Province, or EP) in blue, and the Província do Norte (Northern Province, or NP) in green.
Outside of the Isles, Rodina in orange, Fortaleza in pale green, and Costa do Carvão in purple.

History
Early History
Early History
In what is today the Imperium Divinum, around the 800's BC, a tribe known as the Aerali’i began migrating North, displacing many of the Latin tribes native to the region. One such tribe was the Lusitani, a tribe of Latins that had always lived close to the shore, and had deep nautical roots. Whether the Lusitani left due to direct Aerali’i attack or some other Latin tribe muscled in on their land to recover from defeats dealt by the Aerali’i is still a topic of scholarly debate, but the Lusitani eventually set sail East in droves.
The Lusitani would island hop across the Sea of Wolves for the next several centuries, never quite settling down long enough to establish any long-lasting settlements. Eventually, by the 300's BC, the Lusitani arrived in the modern day Magdal Isles. They dub the islands "Insulae Magdalenae", literally "Islands of the Magdalenes", after the Magdalenes, the first peoples they made contact with. The arrival of the Lusitani was peaceful at first, but it quickly turned violent. By the 100's BC, the isles were at a state of nearly perpetual war, between the arriving Lusitani, the Magdalenes, and the other people native to the Islands, the Andalusians to the East.
Thus, the remaining Magdalenes would be absorbed into the fledgling Lusitani Kingdoms, as the two peoples banded together to stay the advance of the Andalusians, resulting in mixed cultures. Some scholars pinpoint the birth of the Magdali cultural identity in this period.
The fight between the Proto-Magdali Kingdoms and the Andalusians wages on for several centuries, until the last remaining Andalusian holdout is the Princedom of Al-Andalus, situated entirely on the island modern day Castelo Real is on. By the early 200's AD, the three major players in the Isles were the Kingdoms of Lusitania to the West, Insula Magna to the North, and Galaecia to the East. By this time, the vast majority of the peoples in isles solidly identified themselves not as Lusitani, Magdalene, or Andalusian anymore, but as Magdali.
For the following three centuries, the isles experienced a period of relative peace. There are minor border disputes between the three kingdoms, but there are no major conflicts. This time period is credited for further solidifying the Magdali cultural identity, as the three peoples finally experience coexistence in relative peace.
In the year 575 AD, the Princedom of Al-Andalus fielded what the Magdali at the time called the "Great Heathen Army" and invaded their ancestral homeland, in Southeastern Galaecia. The three kingdoms forged a fragile alliance to drive back the invaders. The following conflict is known as the "Hundred Year's War", with a constant back and forth between the Kingdoms and the Princedom.
In the year 680 AD, the Andalusian heir was slain in the battle of Covadonga by King Winamaro the Lionheart of Lusitania. Legend tells the King challenged the Andalusian heir to single combat, beheading him in one blow. The following succession crisis in Al-Andalus leaves the Heathen Army too fractured to sustain the war, and the two sides eventually come to a truce in 681 AD. The Andalusians were never able to fully recover from the crisis, and were unable to raise any armies large enough to wage war with the Magdali Kingdoms again.
The alliance between the three kingdoms quickly shatters after the Hundred Year's War, with Lusitania losing territory to Galaecia soon after the truce with Al-Andalus is declared. Still, the alliance had planted the seeds of Magdali unity in the minds of the Nobility.
In the year 721 AD, King Pelagius the Fair marries Duchess Theodegotha of Bracara, one of the most powerful nobles in Galaecia and ex-wife of the Galaecian King Theodorico the Frail. This, coupled with Theodorico's poor rulership, endeared the Galaecian nobility to Pelagius. A few decades after, many of the bordering fiefdoms in Galaecia begin paying homage to Pelagius instead of Theodorico.
The year 786 AD sees the beginning of the "14 Year's War", with most Galaecia divided in two, half fighting for the Galaecian King, the other desiring to secede and swear fealty to King Pelagius II of Lusitania, backed by Lusitania itself. Eventually, the King of Lusitania names himself the rightful ruler of Galaecia, and declares his intention to press his claim by force. The war was a Lusitanian victory, with Pelagius becoming the King of both Lusitania and Galaecia in the year 800.
In the year 840 AD, King Alaric the Great seals a pact with the Andalusians. Al-Andalus became a protectorate of Lusitania. Insula Magna Enters a short Civil War called the "War of the Hawks". King Roderic I rises at the victor and King of the island. By the year 905 AD, the Lusitanian King Pelagius III died without an heir. Regional rulers of both Galaecia and Lusitania gather to discuss who would inherit the crowns. After a few short scuffles along the border, the Galaecians crown King Ludovic I and the Lusitanians crown King Veremundo the Cruel. The two Kingdoms are broken up once again.
The year 925 AD marks the beginning of the Flash Conversion of the Isles. A Prophet naming himself Udalfric begins to preach the old religion of the Magdalenes. the Magdali converted en masse. King Veremundo, who had been persecuting the renewed religion, declares Ludovic a pretender and prepares for war. By 939, Veremundo reunited the two kingdoms. Persecution of the Magdali Pantheon is increased.
In the year 957, an aging Veremundo is met with mass peasant rebellion across his realm. The people rise up in arms and take the Castles of their Lords. The Kingdom's First Assembly, the precursor to the modern Imperial Synod, was founded by the peasant Rebellion in 958. King Afonso I, also known as Afonso the Liberator, is elected among the Assembly members and crowned by the Pantheon. Veremundo sustains the fight for 4 more years until he dies of his old age and his armies begin to rout. Afonso takes Magalhães and assumes control of the two Kingdoms.
In the year 966, King Roderic III of Insula Magna agreed to join under the rule of King Afonso. Alphons marries Roderic's only daughter, future Queen Isabel of Lajes. After Roderic passed in 970, Insula Magna was brought under Lusitani rule. Afonso, seeing the need to better and more officially unify the three Kingdoms, declares the Act of Union. The United Kingdom of Magdalenum is born.

Political System
The Head of State is the Emperor. The role is hereditary and the holder rules for life. Currently, the ruling Empress is Isabel I of the House of Roque. The Emperor is the supreme leader of the Armed Forces, and represents the Magdali people on foreign affairs. Only they can declare war, and ratify treaties made with foreign powers, including making peace.
The Head of Government is the “Primeiro Ministro” (Prime Minister), who is appointed by a majority vote. The Party, or Junta, with the most votes assumes the majority of seats on the Synod for 6 years, and the rest are assigned seats among the 415 seats of the Assembly in proportion to how many votes they have received. Only Adults (citizens above the age of 17) can vote. The Prime Minister then invites people from his Junta to fill the plethora of roles of Government during his stay. This, however, requires approval from the Emperor.
Furthermore, each Province has its own Provincial Assembly, which is also elected by the people. Provincial Assemblies are allowed to make slight additions or changes to the nation’s laws, to better fit the economical/social climate of each province. Though, everything must be in accordance with the Constitution.
Industry
The main Products the Isles export are:
- Whaling Products
- Wine
- Chemicals
- Coal

Though, everything must be in accordance with the Constitution.
Elections for the Synod and the Provincial assemblies happen every 4 years. There are no term limits. Every Magdali citizen over the age of 17 is allowed to vote. The Junta (Party) with the most votes and thus most seats in the Synod/Provincial Assemblies is by tradition appointed as the governing party, and its leader selected as Prime Minister or Provincial Minister (For the Synod and Provincial Assemblies respectively) by the Emperor. The Provinces also get a official representative of the Crown and its will, a Provincial Viceroy. Viceroys have limited authority, but in times of emergency or isolation, they are trusted to carry out the authorities of the Emperor until communications with the capital are reestablished or official orders arrive.
Industry
The main Products the Isles export are:
- Whaling Products
- Wine
- Chemicals
- Coal
The Mother Province is the Industrial heartland of the Isles. Most whaling companies are housed along the province’s shores, with easier access to open seas and the factories in which the whales are processed. The Whalers have also become quite talented craftsmen, with some whaling companies selling carved ivory as luxury products.
The Eastern Province’s main export is coal and metals. Coal deposits are plentiful among the province’s interior, and several coal mines have propped up to feed the ever-increasing needs of the Kingdom’s Industry. As a result, the Eastern Province has larger population centres on the interior instead of the coast, being unique among the isles, in that regard.
The Northern Province’s chief export is wine. The fertile lands created by ancient volcanic eruptions have historically produced the finest wines in the region. Most Coronation ceremonies have several toasts with either a vintage Roque Red, or the most exquisite of Verdelhos.
Rodina has been slow to rebuild, but it is gradually becoming the largest industrial centre of the Imperium. The main exports from Rodina are currently chemicals, mainly soaps and other cleaning products.

Royal Armed Forces
The Kingdom's military is divided into three branches: The "Exército Real" (Royal Army), the "Marinha Real" (Royal Navy), and the "Agência de Informação das Forças Armadas" (RAF Intelligence Agency, or RAFIA). Each branch acts independently, answering only to the Chief of the "Forças Armadas do Reino" (Royal Armed Forces, or RAF). The Chief of the RAF reports directly to the Emperor.
Soldiers in active service (during peacetime): 27 748 | 10 626 in Army, 19 374 in Navy
Soldiers in reserve (called into service if war is declared): 54,496 | 18.000 in Army reserve, 36 496 in Navy reserve
Total: 82,244 (the number of RAFIA operatives is classified)
Royal Army
Motto: Em Perigos e Guerras Esforçados. (In effortful perils and wars.)
The Royal Army is the branch of the Armed Forces that operates in land. A typical Magdali soldier is equipped with a bayoneted ERB MK II bolt-action rifle or a Luísa gun, a six-shot RRB MK.III revolver, and a field knife. Officers carry a sabre instead of a rifle.
Typical Magdali Infantrymen.
Artillery regiments employ "canhões de campo", or "CCs" for short (Field cannons). These may vary in size and explosive yield, but the standard are the 12 inch cannons.
A standard 12 inch CC.
Royal Navy
Motto: "Honrai a Pátria, que a Pátria vos contempla." (Honor the Fatherland, for the Fatherland beholds you)
The Royal Navy is the second and by far largest branch of the RAF. The Royal Navy operates in the seas around the isles, making sailing near the Kingdom without being detected practically impossible.

The national Anthem is "Hino da Soberania" (Hymn of Sovereignty), written by Mafalda de Sousa.
Lyrics (Magdalese):
Deram frutos a fé e a firmeza
no esplendor de um cântico novo:
O Império é a nossa certeza
de traçar a glória de um povo.
Para a frente! Em comunhão,
pela nossa soberania.
Liberdade, justiça e razão
estão acesas no alto clarão
do estandarte que nos guia.
Para a frente! Lutar, marchar!
pelo passado imortal.
No futuro a luz semear,
de um povo triunfal.
Com um destino e brio alcançado
colheremos mais vitórias e louros;
porque é esse o sentido sagrado
das estrelas que coroam nossos povos.
Para a frente, Magdaleses!
Pela paz à terra unida.
Largos voos, com ardor, firmemos,
para que mais floresçam os ramos
da vitória merecida.
Para a frente! Lutar, marchar!
pelo passado imortal.
No futuro a luz semear,
de um povo triunfal.

Faith and steadfastness bore fruit
in the splendor of a new chant:
The Empire is our certainty
to trace the glory of our people.
Foward! in communion,
for our sovereignty.
Freedom, Justice and Reason
are lit in the high glare
of the standard that guides us.
Foward! fight, march on!
for our immortal past.
In the future the light we'll sow,
of a triumphant people.
With a destiny and dignity reached
we will reap more victories and laurels;
because that's the sacred meaning
of the stars that crown our people.
Onward, Magdalese!
For peace on the united land.
Long flights, with bravery, we'll soar,
so that the branches bloom more
with deserved victory.
Foward! fight, march on!
for our immortal past.
In the future the light we'll sow,
of a triumphant people.
Military Songs
Maria da Fonte
Lyrics (Magdalese):
Viva a Maria da Fonte
Com as pistolas na mão
Para matar os Cabrais
Que são falsos à nação
(chorus)
É avante Magdaleses
É avante sem temer
Pela santa Liberdade
Triunfar ou perecer
Viva a Maria da Fonte
A cavalo e sem cair
Com as pistolas à cinta
A tocar a reunir
(chorus)
Já raiou a liberdade
Que a nação há-de aditar
Glória a Beirais que primeiro
O seu grito fez soar
(chorus)
Lyrics (English):
Hail Maria da Fonte,
With pistols in hand,
To kill the Cabrals,
Who are traitors to the nation.
(chorus)
Onwards, Magdali!
Onwards, without fear,
For Holy Liberty,
Triumph or Death!
Hail Maria da Fonte,
Steady on her horse,
Pistols on her hip,
Rallying with song.
