By the official definition of the imperial cartographers from the University of Aureliapolis the Empire of Aurelia spans the whole world. As the empire spans the continent of Aurelia we can deduce that this continent is the whole world and outside of it is nothing.

In truth there are of course other continents. The one that has most contact with Aurelia is the Southern Continent the imperials call Jesabea and it's people jesabis. On the Bitter Ocean that separates the continents have been fought countless wars but the empire has been unable to truly ever take any kind of strong foothold on Jesabea. In west there are no known continents. In east there are rumoured to be some continents but as the empire's hold even on it's eastern part of continent is quite fragile, there is not much of a contact that way. At north there are only fogs and ice.

The empire itself is divided on to 7 distinct territories:

The Heartlands
-Center of Empire of Aurelia
-Capitol Aureliapolis
-Almost all people consider themselves Aurelians and the culture is very imperial

The West
-Richest part of Empire
-Center of trade and has many city-states
-Almost all the navy and the ports of Empire
-Most people have their own distinct cultural heritage instead of the imperial culture

The North
-Poor borderlands
-Mostly hills, forests and tundras
-Known from the Wall of Border Princes
-Border Princes protect the Empire from northern barbarians

The South
-Land of mountains, hills and deserts
-Jesabis contest the control of area and historically have populated it before the Empire
-Mostly unhospitable area but caravan routes bring some wealth

The East
-Sparsely populated land of farmlands centered around the Great Lake
-Few native people, mostly colonized by Aurelians
-Often harassed by the raiders from plains

The Plains
-Endless plains that divide the continent between the main imperial territories and the far-east
-Imperials have very weak control, mostly ruled by native rider tribes

Far-East
-The most little known and exotic part of the Empire
-Aurelians have built colonies here but they are mostly integrated to native people
-Quite sparsely populated and Empire doesn't hold great interest to the area
