Head of Government: Maharaja
Legislature: None
Demonym: Guptan
Currency: Pagoda, Mohar, Rupiya, Dam, Shivrai
The Gupta Empire is a large monarchical nation in northern Ingodija. It borders Edwardia to the west, Ramnad and Hoysala to the southwest, Maurya to the south, and Bengal to the northeast. Off the southeast coast, it shares maritime borders with the northern island of the Sikh Empire.
Ruled by the Gupta Dynasty, it was once the dominant power of northern and central Ingodija, subjugating many states, including the Mauyra Empire, until the Britannians invaded and conquered much of the western continent. During the conflict, Maurya regained its independence, which only further served to weaken Gupta's power and influence.
During the Ingodijan Revolutionary Wars, Gupta took a chance to try and reassert it dominance over the continent via reconquest in the midst of the chaos, but was unsuccessful and only managed to regain a minimal amount of land.
Today it is a shadow of it's former self, and only keeps its head high through vassalage of Bengal. Recently it has seen a return to glory through various reforms and new relations with foreign powers, many of which have proved favorable to Gupta.

One of the four great powers of Ingodiga's mainland, Hoysala was once the eastern territory of the Britannian possession, the Commonwealth of Edwardia. Lack of effective governing and impoverishment in these areas, issues that were mostly ignored by both Edwardia and Britannia, led to revolts against Britannian rule, by Britannian Colonials and native Ingodijans alike, in many central states under Edwardian sovereignty. After the Ingodijan Revolutionary Wars, the majority of these states formed the Federated Empire of Hoysala; the exceptions were Gandhara and the city-states Ramnad and Candra, all three of which retained their independence. Hoysala has been the dominant power in the region, and acted as a buffer state between the three other major Ingodijan powers, ever since.
While an elective monarchy, Hoysala is primarily ruled by the Chalukya Dynasty.
