They may all be in Aysria but still thats a lot of area for them to cover.

You still have most your nation.  If you look at the map of the oringal area
that Aysria control that was the map I used.  The Western Invasion. got no
father then the fork of the Razan river and Karan River.  As for the Southern
Invasion I was again using the map.  The area the Southern Invasion took was
to the south of the River Haran.  That was what I ment.  They got to the
Haran river and were stoped.  As for most the army being in the west.  Yes
thats true but the southern Army invaded way to the south of the invading
Western army.  So the main Arysia army was at the other end of the country.
Now if the Northern Razian Army had invaded Arysia its self then the army
would have been close anough to defend.  Also rember that the Arysia was has
for the past two years been severly beten.  They also were just kicked out of
Canor and Tesh.  I get the impreshion of an Army that has just severily got
their behinds beat and  then they got invaded before they knew what
happened.  Basiclly the Razanians moved to quickly for the Aysrians, but next
year that should be diffrent.  Also for your suggestion that the get a
serious penitly rember.  That Arysia was expanding.  The Razians are closing
in.  Were Arysia had to spread its army to cover more area the Razians if
they pushed farther in would be coming together and eventally the would meet
up but they might get a penitly we while see what they do next year.  That is
how some of wars are one.  How can be the fastest.
