Urquhart Holy Empire

The Urquhart Holy Empire(ウルクハート神聖ローマ帝国, Urukuhāto shinsei rōma teikok) is one of the countries in the world.

Overview
The Urquhart Holy Empire is the country to the north of the Helmut Kingdom. They have had peace for about 207 years. They have a government similar to a democracy. The next Emperor is chosen by a vote of the parliament, it could be seen as slightly close to democracy.

With the majority of the members of the parliament being nobles and members of the imperial family, there isn’t some act like having a commoner come forth since the candidates for the post of Lord Emperor are also chosen amongst the imperial family.

Giganto Crevice
A very large crevice that naturally separates the Empire from the Kingdom to its south, though in the past both nations have tried to control territory on the other nation's side.

It is later revealed that the cavern was artificially created in an accidental magic explosion caused by experiments being conducted by the Ancient Magic Civilization. This incident was also what led to the downfall of that civilization.

Duchy of Phillip
The territory of Duchess Teresa Phillip located in the northern part of the Holy Empire. The Philip Duchy's main products are wheat, potatoes, and seafood. It’s also prosperous with many metal processing industries such as mines.

Mizuho Country
An independently-governing territory just south of the Duchy of Philip. The territory of Mizuho appears distinctly Japanese (pre-Edo) in character, both in the appearance of its people and the culture/customs present. They are far more advanced in magic technology -- especially weapons -- than any other part of the empire.

Because the Empire has tried and failed several times to subjugate the Mizuho people and territory, an eventual peace was achieved by one emperor allowing them to be a completely autonomous region within the empire, and in turn for not contesting the status, having its leader granted the recognition and corresponding title of High Earl.

Following the Empire Rebellion Arc, and in exchange for the notable military service of the Mizuho army as part of Duchess Philip's liberation army, the Mizuho Country is updated to a Duchy and its leader made a Duke and Prince Elector, though the Duke insists the territory will continue to act autonomously and will neither nominate a prince elector to become a future emperor nor participate in the voting process.

Duchy of Nuremberg
The territory of the Duke of Nuremberg, an authoritarian and militaristic leader who leads a rebellion against the empire when he fails the election to become the new emperor. It lies in the southern section of the empire, with some of its border being along the Giganto Crevice.
