Anisoran Empire

The Anisoran Empire (Anisoran: Impero Anisorano; Pastanan: Imperium Anisoranum), was a constitutional federal monarchy situated in central-western Anaria bordering the Medio Sea. The Empire was separated by the Sea of Cestarena and the Medio Sea into two parts, the Eastern and Western regions. The majority of Anisoran land and population was situated in the West in Anaria Minor, where the North Bhazen Mountains formed the western border of the Empire for much of its history. The remainder of Anisoran territory was made up of hundreds of Median islands as well as the entire Cadrai Peninsula, which extends out from Northern Anaria Major and borders Ardennes. In around 7580, the Empire covered an area of 776,597 km² (299,846 sq mi) and had a population of over 46 million inhabitants.

According to the constitution, the Anisoran Empire was organised as a federal constitutional monarchy, headed by the Emperor, with a parliamentary system of government situated in the capital, Pena. The Empire was made up of 41 constituent states, most of which were ruled by royal families. These included four grand principalities, eight principalities, two arch-duchies, seventeen duchies, four dependent islands, and six free cities. The largest of which, the Grand Principality of Casella, was the most politically dominant state since the Empire's foundation. Other major cities include Valance, Arrento, Tenalevan, Pilano, Valamaggiore, Marocida and Pandagna.

In 7367 Anisora became a nation state when Marius Decus won the Anisoran Civil War and was crowned Emperor of the Anisorans, uniting the Dual Kingdom of Casella and Pastana with most of the Anisoran speaking lands in Tova and the Confederation of Vetriano under a single constitution. The establishment of the Empire was the fulfilment of long-held desires to see an Anisoran state realised with the rise of Anisoran nationalism during the 73rd century. During the Marian Era under the successive rule of Marius I and Marius II, Anisoran power increased in Anaria Minor and the Medio Sea, which brought Anisora into conflict with other great powers including Auresia, Anat Tahan, Becuvitatia and Livaria. Although much of the territory gained in Anaria-Minor was ultimately lost after the Pan-Anarian War, Anisora remained a great Anarian power throughout the 75th and 76th centuries.

However, following the Pan-Anarian War (7498-7552), Anisora's power began to wane, with economic turmoil, religious sectarianism and ethnic nationalism placing increasing strains on the Empire. In the latter years of the Wolgos Scourge, the Empire disintegrated [more to follow].
