| - The Russian Empire (Russian: Pоссийская Империя Rossiyskaya Impyeriya) is a confederate constitutional monarchy expanding from Eastern Europe to Far Eastern Asia. The empire has existed from 1721 and was the successor to the Tsardom of Russia. It is one of the largest empires in world history, surpassed in landmass only by the British and Mongolian empires: at one point in 1866, it stretched from eastern Europe across Asia and into North America. At the beginning of the 19th century, Russia was the largest country in the world, extending from the Arctic Ocean to the north to the Black Sea on the south, from the Baltic Sea on the west to the Pacific Ocean on the east. With 125.6 million subjects registered by the 1897 census, it had the third largest population of the world at the time, after Qing China and the British Empire. It represented a large disparity in economic, ethnic, and religious positions. Its government, ruled by the Emperor, was one of the last absolute monarchies in Europe. Following the reforms of Tsar Alexis II it evolved into a constitutional monarchy based on the United States of Greater Austria model. Today it is one of the great powers of the world today.
