The Milites Empire (ミリテス皇国, Miritesu Kōkoku^?) is a nation where the Peristylium Byakko is located in Final Fantasy Type-0. It neighbors the Suzaku Fiefdom of Rubrum, which it invades in the game. Its Emperor has currently gone missing and Cid Aulstyne now handles the affairs of the government as well as the Byakko Peristylium.

The Byakko Peristylium, an organization that conducts research into the energy from the Byakko crystal. This energy is used for military and domestic affairs. Different from the crystals of other countries, whose power can be wielded only by a select few (like the students in Suzaku), the power of the Byakko crystal is used to create weapons and "Madou Armor" (Magitek Armor) mecha, which can be used by all citizens. This has allowed the army to develop into a force of many tens of thousands.

The Milites government sparked a war between the nations when it invaded the other countries to obtain the power of their crystals.
