Empire of Aht Urhgan
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Empire of Aht Urhgan was the first major region to be added to Final Fantasy XI since the offical release in Japan. The Empire of Aht Urhgan dominates the Aradjiah Continent, a landmass found east of Mindartia. This massive nation lies between the Gugru Blue and the countries of the Far East, and is governed by the Divine Empress--a ruler who wields absolute religious and secular authority. Furthermore the Empire is divided in two separately ruled areas: West Aht Urhgan and East Aht Urhgan. A highly militaristic country, the player is employed as a mercenary under Salaheem's Sentinels, later to unravel the dark secrets the Empire holds.
It's interesting to note that this is one of the few empires in Final Fantasy that isn't one-sidedly evil or good, instead simply a empire of pure conquest.
