The Kooluk Empire (クールーク皇国, Kūrūku Kōkoku) is the antagonistic nation of Suikoden IV that also forms part of the setting of Suikoden Tactics. The nation collapsed at the end of the latter game.
Information
The Kooluk Empire was a great power located to the north of the Island Nations, ruled in its final days by Emperor Julius. Possessing powerful military strength, it was often in conflict with the Dukedom of Gaien to the southwest and the Scarlet Moon Empire to its north. In the years prior to its collapse, it had entered into a cold war conflict with Scarlet Moon following a ceasefire agreement.
The Empire had many towns and territories under its control, large and small, with administrators appointed in each location.
In 306, Kooluk attempted to expand its territory with an invasion of the Island Nations but was repelled into Island Liberation War. Following this, internal pressures continue to build, resulting in an attempted coup d'etat. The resulting fallout would lead to the collapse of the nation.
