At the time of the fall of Imperial Panarine, the Kingdom of Goentea ruled the entire western shore of the sea of Goent. While Goentea’s ambitions for control over the entirety of the Crown were obvious, the Kingdom made extremely little progress until their mediation in the Volissēne civil war demonstrated their outsized influence in the area. Several duchies and republics joined willingly. A swift campaign in divided Voleïze ended with no concessions save a remarkably permissive subjugation. Tanthes did not formally give up sovereignty, conscious of its neutrality between Cazia-Orod and the now-Imperial Goentea, with the Primate’s position being that the Sasinths and Talens were two branches of the Orthodox family.
However, Tanthes was under the de facto control of Imperial Goentea by all metrics. Imperial policy became that Tanthes was functionally a subject, and the Primate of Tanthes responded by passing an act which precluded the Empire of Goentea from ever receiving the status of ‘Sasinthēne Empire’, as Panarine and Tanthes had formerly held. Menovina was the last to be absorbed. Goentea afterwards incorporated Iantōs.
During the Great War, the Empire of Goentea was forced to make heavy concessions to the victorious Daartlaw and Cazia-Orod, including trade guarantees in Great Sasinthy and the loss of territory in Gesena and Belethion. Menovina was made independent, as a buffer territory with Cazia-Orod. While Goentea is factually the most powerful Sasinthēne nation, it’s checkered relationship with Tanthes, changing modern sensibilities, and failure to hold onto heartland Imperial territories precludes its status as a successor to Imperial Panarine, or as a nation unto all Sasinthēnes. In the wake of sharp losses, Goentea after the Great War is merely known as the Kingdom of Goentea.
