Empire of Haiti

The Empire of Haiti (French: Empire d'Haïti, Haitian Creole: Anpi an Ayiti; and is also known as Haiti or the Haitian Empire) is an island empire located on Hispaniola in the Carribean Ocean. Haiti was founded in 1623 after a slave revolt saw the French who controlled the island overthrown, and a Haitian monarchy established in place of the old colonial government. The capital was placed in the old colonial capital of Port-de-Paix, which is currently the largest city on the island. The empire is ruled by Seydou II, the grandson of Seydou I, the man who lead the Haitian slaves against the French. Haiti is fabulously wealthy, exporting fourty percent of the sugar and sixty percent of the coffee consumed in Europe; more than all of the West Indies combined. While Haiti's relations with France are lack-luster, it has been a good friend of Britain, and has greatly benefited from such friendship.
