The Nation exist within three different continent, four if you ask Wilhemanians. Wilhemania came into existence because of a Civil war within the United Provinces in the beginning of the 18th century. [this is where the alternate history portion comes in]. Wilhelm I, the man who started the revolt, seized power and after building up military might and consolidating power with himself, he attacked. Wilhemania began the Wilhemanian Wars. This war involved so many nation tribes and city-states and was fought over a long period of time. When the war ended the Empire was one of the Superpowers of the world. Wilhemania built a canal from Mediterranean to the Tigris and Euphrates and later a canal across the desert in Egypt. With this Wilhemania became an economic powerhouse. The route was so short between Europe and the far east that the original Portuguese route was abandoned by all Europeans. Though all foreign ships had to pay heavy trade taxes for Gibraltar the Mediterranean side of the canals and the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea side as well. This made a lot of money for the Empire and help them to capitalize on their geographic location.
