Kou Empire

The Kou Empire (煌帝国, Kō Teikoku) is a large nation that is militaristic. It is considered the most (or one of the most) powerful nations in the current era because of the number of Dungeon Capturers and the armies the empire controls. The empire is also described as very aggressive, using any reason to attack another nation.

History
The Kou Empire is a country with influences of China during the Imperial era. Although it was just a small country in the Far East, it grew to the central plains after borrowing power from Judal. They send Dungeon Capturers to the countries in its outskirts to invade them. Recently, they even have dungeon monsters in their army.
