	Amestris
		Amestris or Amastris: wife of the Persian king Xerxes, mother of king Artaxerxes I.
		Amestris was the daughter of Otanes, one of the seven conspirators who killed the Persian rebel king Gaumâta (22 September 522 BCE).
		I am informed that Amestris, the wife of Xerxes, when she had grown old, made return for her own life to the god who is said to be beneath the earth by burying twice seven children of Persians who were men of renown (Herodotus, Histories, 7.114).

		Amestris is the name of the country where the main events in the series Fullmetal Alchemist were set.
		Culturally similar to the Europe of the first '900s, Amestris is very large and diverse as it's its population.
		Amestris borders various other countries, and doesn't share a peaceful existence with them: the Military is commonly busy to struggle the border-clashes of the western state (Creta) and the southern one (Aerugo); Amestris is also marked by two big internal conflicts, the Northern War and the Ishbalan War (aka 'The Massacre of Ishbal').
