Asteria (Old): Difference between revisions

'''Asteria''', officially '''The Most Serene Consortium of Asteria and her Dependencies''' or '''The Asterian Consortium''', is a commonwealth and political protectorate consisting of numerous city-states, Republics, and constitutional Monarchies, also known as ''Læsteri''. It is mainly situated along the Istroyan Coast, including the Isle of Asteria in the Sea of Canete. While being historically rooted in the Istroyan Kharta of 177 AD, the Consortium itself was established in 1941 as successor to the Asterian League which had been in place since 447CE. While the Consortium represents the sovereign political entity uniting all members, the legislative and executive power distributions between the central government and its members are meticulously balanced and often difficult to distinguish. Economically, Asteria follows a unique socio-economic model with strong corporatocratic and technocratic influences as corporations are closely intertwined in politics and aspects of everyday life, held in check by the social and ecological conensus that these conglomerates were founded upon.
