Imperium is a confederation of 90 first-level entities (52 republics, 32 kingdoms and 6 archipelagos) primarily located in Central Arhet. Imperium covers an area of 13,982,000 km² (5.4 million square miles), has an estimated total population of 978 million and shares borders with 29 countries. The Hegemonian institutions are seated in seven cities: Magium (largest city), Arx Consularis, Orei, Dicaearchus, Balisipo, Merkatos and Lichas.

Due to its strategic position in Arhet and large extension, Imperium has been home to myriad civilizations.

Etymology and terminology
The term Imperium comes from the Hegemonian language (the only official language prior to 1720), meaning "great power" and, by extension, "empire". By general convention, the version of early historian Fabius Musca is accepted as the term's etymology. Musca explains that the term is related to Magius Aeternus, as the "great power over Hegemonian peoples", the first wielder of magic and his divine origin (as he descended from the Ether).
