The '''Weissersteiner Empire''' is a major spacefaring nation located in the central part of sector A1-0. It borders the [[Tarassian Union (A1-0)|Tarassian Union]] to its northwest, the [[Ryccian Empire (A1-0)|Ryccian Empire]] to its north, the [[Imperium Of Astra & Pheonixia (A1-0)|Imperium of Astra & Pheonixia]] and the [[Dovia (A1-0)|Dovian Star Confederation]] to the east, the [[Treecuu Star Empire (A1-0)|Treecuu Star Empire]] to the south, the [[Star Empire Of Calerost (A1-0)|Star Empire of Calerost]] to the southwest, and the [[Tiyanki Territories (A1-0)|Tiyanki Territories]] to its west.

Before Terran colonists arrived in the region, the area now known today as Weisserstein was home to several different sentient empires, such as the Ruven, the Zeniran, and the Pharali. With the arrival of Terran colonists, the power dynamic slowly shifted over the centuries. With the supposed extinction of the Ruven, Zeniran, and Pharali species, the Terrans make up 80% of the population sometime after the Great Pharali War.
Much of the territory of modern Aquila were inhabited by various different species, with the two most powerful being the reptilian-amphibian Thalrakis around the swamps of Ruva (modern day Ruwe) and the humanoid Pharalis around either the steppes of Ghorm or Ugrath (modern day Neu Aquila). Both the Thalrakis and Pharalis formed their own distinctive empires based around their homeworlds, exerting influence on the surrounding species for centuries. Relations between the two however were never peaceful, and wars were often fought between the Thalrakis' Ruven Empire and the two Pharali kingdoms of Ghorm and Ugrath.
 
Amidst these conflicts, Terran colonists began to settle in areas around Revel and Antares in XXXX BBT. The Ruven Empire would eventually recruit the Terrans to settle in various border regions of the Ruven Empire in return for their allegiance and service to Ruva. These Terrans would form the framework of the Zeniran States who, during the fall of the Ruven Empire, would secede and form their own confederacy.

The [[Quinumvirate Era (A1-0)|Quinumvirate Era]] refers to the period in Weissersteiner history where five major Terran-dominated nations (known as the Quinumvirate) maintained peaceful coexistence with each other, those being the [[Archkingdom of Weisserstein (A1-0)|Archkingdom of Weisserstein]], the [[United Kingdoms of Holland, Nederland, and the Brabantines (A1-0)|United Kingdoms of Holland, Nederland, and the Brabantines]], the [[Emirate of Jazeera (A1-0)|Emirate of Jazeera]], the [[Most Serene Republic of Rocova (A1-0)|Most Serene Republic of Rocova]], and the [[Kingdom of Corvinia (A1-0)|Kingdom of Corvinus, Patron Saint of Corvinia]].

Aquila, officially known as the Aquilan Empire, is a major spacefaring nation located in the central part of sector A1-0. It borders the Zahamana Commonwealth to its northwest, the Ryccian Empire to its north, the Twilight Ascendancy and the Dovian Star Confederation to the east, the Treecuu Star Empire to the south, the Tusadu Confederacy to the southwest, and the Tiyanki Territories to its west.

Much of the territory of modern Aquila were inhabited by various different species, with the two most powerful being the reptilian-amphibian Thalrakis around the swamps of Ruva (modern day Ruwe) and the humanoid Pharalis around either the steppes of Ghorm or Ugrath (modern day Neu Aquila). Both the Thalrakis and Pharalis formed their own distinctive empires based around their homeworlds, exerting influence on the surrounding species for centuries. Relations between the two however were never peaceful, and wars were often fought between the Thalrakis' Ruven Empire and the two Pharali kingdoms of Ghorm and Ugrath.

Amidst these conflicts, Terran colonists began to settle in areas around Revel and Antares in XXXX BBT. The Ruven Empire would eventually recruit the Terrans to settle in various border regions of the Ruven Empire in return for their allegiance and service to Ruva. These Terrans would form the framework of the Zeniran States who, during the fall of the Ruven Empire, would secede and form their own confederacy.

Imperial circles

Aquila is divided into nine Imperial circles for matters of defense, imperial taxation, supervision of minting, peace-keeping functions, public security, cultural preservation, as well as various others.

Six of the nine Imperial circles roughly correspond to the six original Terran nations within Aquila, those being the Kingdom of Aquila, the Kingdom of Antares, the Kingdom of Zan Corvin, the Sultanate of Gazara, the Grand Duchy of Rudenia, and the Grand Duchy of Azulia, as part of the implementation of the Imperial Constitution's guarantee of preserving the other realms' autonomy in return for their recognition of Aquila as primus inter pares.

Originally, Aquila consisted of six Imperial circles: Aquilan circle, Gazaran circle, Antarean circle, Azulian circle, Rudenian circle, and Corvinian circle. In 208 BBT, the Azulian, Rudenian, Corvinian, and elements of the Aquilan circle were merged into the Zeniran circle. This would be reversed in 164 BBT alongside the elevation of the Couronian Territories, then an autonomous condominium of Aquila and Antares, as the Couronian circle. Two additional circles would be raised in 42 BBT, when the patchwork of territories annexed following the War for Ghorm and subsequent expeditions were consolidated and elevated into circles, those being the Caerulian and Neulander circles.
