In Asia the Khmer Empire, Mughal Empire, Mongol Empire and Tibetan Empire dominated Asia for centuries, and resisted and expelled European colonization. In the Middle-East the Abbasid Caliphate defeated the Mongols in the Siege of Baghdad and never collapsed and they eventually reconquered lost lands. However some lands were still colonized by Europe; Brazil, Oceania, some parts of Africa and all of Northern America. In Europe the Holy Roman Empire never collapsed, thus WWI and WWII never took place and the Georgian and Byzantine Empires merged into the new Roman Empire. As such, the Ottoman Empire never came into existence. The weakened Mongols tried to destroy the Kingdoms of Poland and Hungary, but were pushed back with the help of the Roman Empire. Today many empires still stand and have monarchies, but still, many countries are Republics and democracy is rising. In addition to nations of Earth, there exist hundreds of millions of planets in the universe where sentient life is present. Earth is controlled by High King Joash III
