			:Interesting question. No, she just refers to herself as "Andromache the Scythian," so the term "empire" was my choice. Wikipedia refers to the Scythians as an example of a "nomadic empire" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadic_empire and the Encyclopedia Britannica lists Scythia as a "historical empire." https://www.britannica.com/place/Scythia [[User:ZionAmmo\|ZionAmmo]] ([[User talk:ZionAmmo\|talk]]) 19:49, 30 July 2020 (EDT)
