The Greater Zartanian Empire (typically referred to as simply "Zartania") is a country located in the northeast corner of the Old Continent. The Empire is composed of several component entities, including the Kingdom of Eastern Zartania, the Republic of Western Zartania, and the Royal Crown Colonies of Haddock Cove, Kunn Federon, the Khor Islands, Zartanian Angliyaa, Noterland, and Zartanian Glaciaria.
[edit] Formation of the Empire
The Greater Zartanian Empire was formed in 302AP from the merging of the Kingdom of Eastern Zartania and the Republic of Western Zartania under a single crown. In doing so, the Act of Unification specified that the King of Eastern Zartania would also serve as the head of state of the Empire, while Western Zartania would continue to exercise a certain amount of autonomy. Specifically, the Republic retains its own legislature, its own royal line, its own police force, and its own militia, while bowing to the Empire for supremecy in foreign affairs and other overarching matters.
The Act of Unification also provided for the establishment of the Imperial Council to act as the federated advisory body to the King.
