Pantocratoria is the largest nation in the Pantocratorian Archipelago. It was founded by a group of refugees fleeing the Ottoman Empire after the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The Pantocratorian Imperial line (the House of Bourbon-Comnenus-Palaeologus) sees itself as an extension of the Roman Emperors of Constantinople (see Byzantine Empire). It also claims descent from the Bourbon kings of France through Emperor Louis I, who was, Pantocratorian scholars claim, the missing King Louis XVII of France (see Louis XVII of France), who disappeared during the French Revolution.
Pantocratorian society is culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse. In the rural countryside of mainland Pantocratoria, Greek-speaking Pantocratorians predominantly work in the agricultural sector. They are typically poorly educated, and earn less than their metropolitan compatriots. In Pantocratoria's cities live highly educated, comparatively affluent French-speaking Pantocratorians. In outlying islands, most notably the Exarchate of New Jerusalem, live so-called "Pantocratorian Indians" (and people descended from inter-marrying between European Pantocratorians and Pantocratorian Aboriginals), who tend to speak Greek and depend on fishing and other marine industries for their income.
Pantocratorian cultural institutions, architecture, art, and music are generally a synthesis of earlier Byzantine influences and later French ones. Pantocratorian architecture is famous for its ability to immediately evoke affection or expressions of distaste from non-Pantocratorians, with its odd clash of styles forming a mis-matching whole, with components from the Byzantine, baroque, rococo, and occassionally gothic styles all shamelessly thrown together without a thought of visual cohesion. Pantocratorian artwork tends to the religious subject matter of the Byzantine, in the heroic pre-impressionist French style.
