Imperium

Imperium, also known as the Hegemonian Empire, is a confederation of 90 first-level entities that are primarily located in Aretia. The confederation has a total area 13,982,120 km² (5,398,527 sq mi) and an estimated total population of nearly 1.2 billion. Throughout its history, Imperium's form of government has evolved from a unitary absolute monarchy to a confederated constitutional monarchy with supranational and intergovernmental decision-making, following significant movements and constitutional amendments.

Imperium is the largest country in the world by both area and population, and shares land boundaries with twenty-seven sovereign states. It is formally a constitutional monarchy governed through eight independent, supranational and intergovernmental Hegemonian institutions: the Hegemonian Council, responsible for defining the political direction and priorities of Imperium; the Epistalma, responsible for executing public policy and cooperating with the first-level entities; the Senate and the High Council, responsible for the legislation concerning the Hegemonian law; the Hegemonian Court, responsible for the uniform application and interpretation of the Hegemonian law; the Aerarium, responsible for overseeing government spending and ensuring government ethics; the Hegemonian Bank, responsible for determining the monetary policy of the first-level entities as Imperium's central bank; and the Hegemonian Military Council, responsible for the military operations concerning conscription, intelligence, homeland security, civil protection and defense.
