It is a semi-constitutional monarchy that existed from 1721 to the present. One of the largest empires in world history, stretching over three continents, the Russian Empire surpassed in landmass only by the British and Mongol empires. It played a major role in 1812–14 in defeating Napoleon's ambitions to control Europe, and expanded to the west and south.

  • The Russian Empire (Pre-reform Russian orthography: Россійская Имперія, Modern Russian: Российская империя, translit: Rossiyskaya Imperiya) is a country situated in northern Eurasia. It is a semi-constitutional monarchy that existed from 1721 to the present. One of the largest empires in world history, stretching over three continents, the Russian Empire surpassed in landmass only by the British and Mongol empires. It played a major role in 1812–14 in defeating Napoleon's ambitions to control Europe, and expanded to the west and south. It was often in conflict with the Ottoman Empire (which in turn was usually protected by the British). Following the Decembrist Revolution, the Russian Empire became the largest and leading constituent of Russia, the world's first constitutionally monarch state and a recognized superpower, which played a decisive role in the Great War. The post-war era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first assault rifle and the first electric car. Following the Global War in 1994, the Russian Empire became one of the three superpowers that dominated the globe. The Russian economy is the world's second largest by nominal GDP and third largest by purchasing power parity, with third largest nominal military budget. Russian Empire is one of the worlds fastest growing major economies. It's one of the four recognized nuclear weapons states and possesses the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Russian Empire is a great power and a permanent member of the League of Nations Security Council At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian Empire extended from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Black Sea on the south, from the Baltic Sea on the west to the Pacific Ocean and into North America on the east. With 325.6 million subjects registered by the 1999 census, it had the third largest population of the world at the time, after Franco-Spain and the British Empire. Like all empires it represented a large disparity in economic, ethic, and religious positions. Its government, ruled by Emperor, was an absolute monarchy until the Alexander Reformations. Afterwards it became a constitutional monarchy, though its Emperor continued to wield considerable power in the new political system until the adoption of the new constitution in 1870.
